Description Supposing Books H.P. Lovecraft. Biografia

„H.P. Lovecraft. Biografia” to przełomowe dzieło w dziedzinie badań życia i twórczości Lovecrafta, najlepsza na świecie biografia tego pisarza. Jej autor, znany na świecie krytyk, uznaje tę książkę za dzieło swojego życia, ukoronowanie 20 lat pracy badawczej. W 1997 r. książka zdobyła nagrodę Brama Stokera w dziedzinie literatury faktu, ponadto zbierała bardzo dobre recenzje, również od tak znanych pisarzy i krytyków jak Joyce Carol Oates, Ramsey Campbell czy Harold Bloom. Uznaje się ją za jedną z najlepszych biografii w dziejach literatury.
Dzieło to stanowi najbardziej wiarygodne źródło informacji na temat Lovecrafta na świecie. Rozwiewa ogromną ilość mitów i niejasności związanych z jego osobą i twórczością, dokładnie omawia jego filozofię, życie oraz oczywiście dzieła literackie, przedstawiając przy tym bardzo wiele zagadnień pobocznych, jak choćby historię Providence czy dzieje literatury wagonowej w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Jest to bogate kompendium, przy którym nie będą się nudzić nawet ci, którzy o Lovecrafcie nic nie wiedzą.

Rate Out Of Books H.P. Lovecraft. Biografia

An exhaustive (yet somehow not at all exhausting--I would say instead exhilarating) account of the life, fiction, and philosophy of the gentleman from Providence. Now I'm really looking forward to going back and rereading some of his stories with new insight. I always find S.T. Joshi an entertaining critic to read, even when I wholly disagree with him. There are lots of surprises in this book--one for me was the discovery of how far and how often Lovecraft traveled to visit his huge circle of

I am very impressed with this biography of Lovecraft, which is by far the best I have read so far. It is very detailed, and full of eyewitness accounts. It presents a balanced view of the man, being neither too positive or too negative. This is a warts and all portrayal of the Old Gentleman of Providence, which attempts to redress some of the errors made by previous biographers.It also contains an analysis of Lovecraft's major stories, as well as insight into his political and philosophical

This is a great book...but...it's an abridged version of "I am Providence" so I can only give it 4 stars. Spend the exra cash for Joshi's full text if you can find one of the limited editions of 'Providence', it's worth it!

A very interesting book, with a nice "progressive" feel to it, like biographies are supposed to provide. It is not the most unbiased of biographies, as at times Joshi's views and opinions are made clear, specially when at trying to excuse or explain certain not so flattering of Lovecraft's behaviors and ideas.A must read for Lovecraft fans.

This was a frustrating book in many respects. It's a must-read for Lovecraft fans (or anyone who wants to know more about Lovecraft the person). It's exhaustive and authoritative. It presents Lovecraft's many flaws forthrightly and yet successfully portrays him as not only an important cultural figure but an interesting thinker and complex human being. But it's at times awkwardly over-written, and Joshi inserts his opinions freely and intrusively, in both cases channeling Lovecraft perhaps more

The bible for HPL's life!

Pretty much one of the best literary biographies ever written. A wonderfully warm and sympathetic portrait of a fascinating man. Easily one of my favourite books. I've read it three times so far, and no doubt I will read it again.
