Bøger af H. P. Lovecraft

Na teren wsi w Nowej Anglii spada meteoryt składający się z nieznanego na Ziemi metalu i o niespotykanych dotąd właściwościach. Jaki straszliwy wpływ na mieszkańców będzie miała tajemnicza energia, którą emanuje? „Kolor nie z tej planety" to horror science fiction autorstwa amerykańskiego pisarza Howarda Phillipsa Lovecrafta, który cieszy się wielką popularnością wśród czytelników w każdym wieku.Howard Phillips Lovecraft, często określany jako H.P. Lovecraft (Providence, 20 sierpnia 1890 – Providence, 15 marca 1937), był amerykańskim pisarzem, poetą, krytykiem literackim i eseistą, uznawanym za jednego z największych obok Edgara Allana Poego twórców literatury grozy i przez wielu uważanym za jednego z prekursorów angloamerykańskiego gatunku science fiction. Jego twórczość, będąca połączeniem horroru, soft science fiction, dark fantasy i low fantasy, była często określana, nawet przez niego samego, terminem weird fiction (gdzie weird oznacza ’dziwny’), uznawanym za jedno z głównych źródeł współczesnego gatunku literackiego new weird. Był autorem licznych opowiadań, m.in. „Dagon", „Kolor nie z tej planety", „Zew Cthulhu" i „Zgroza w Dunwich", oraz powieści takich jak „Przypadek Charlesa Dextera Warda", „W górach szaleństwa" i „Widmo nad Innsmouth", a także kilku opowiadań pisanych wierszem. Lovecraft nie był szczególnie ceniony przez krytykę swoich czasów. Dla przykładu, opowiadanie pt. „Zew Cthulhu" zostało początkowo odrzucone jako zbyt "obce", według słów Wrighta, i nie cieszyło się dobrą reputacją aż do jego śmierci. Wiele z jego dzieł było źródłem inspiracji dla artystów na całym świecie, zarówno w literaturze, jak i w filmie czy muzyce. W rzeczywistości jeden z najważniejszych badaczy Lovecrafta, S. T. Joshi, określa jego twórczość jako "niedającą się sklasyfikować kombinację fantasy i science fiction, i nie jest zaskakujące, że znacząco wpłynęła ona na późniejszy rozwój obu gatunków". W swoich opowiadaniach i esejach stworzył filozofię kosmosu, która była wynikiem jego ateizmu i nowych odkryć naukowych, a jego pomysły w wielu dziedzinach często budziły kontrowersje.

Les chats d'Ulthar, extrait : " On raconte que dans Ulthar, de l'autre côté de la rivière Skaï, aucun homme n'a droit de tuer un chat. J'en suis d'autant plus convaincu que mes yeux se posent sur celui qui est assis là, ronronnant près du feu. Le chat est un animal mystérieux. Il devine et voit des choses que les humains ne perçoivent pas. N'est-il pas l'âme de l'antique Égypte et le sujet des contes oubliés de Meroe et Ophir ? De plus, il est apparenté au Seigneur de la Jungle, et comme tel, il est l'héritier des secrets de la sombre et inquiétante Afrique. Le Sphinx est son cousin. Il parle le même langage, mais il est plus ancien que lui et il se souvient de ce que le Sphinx a oublié ".
