Notă biografică
Abraham Merritt wrote about metal monsters, satanic cults, krakens, dwarves, witches and lost civilizations. His most famous work is The Ship of Ishtar. While both The Moon Pool and The Ship of Ishtar recount exciting adventures, both go deeper than what is typically called 'pulp fiction.' The Moon Pool explores the relationship between cosmic forces of good and evil, where love-manifest through ultimate sacrifice-is the only power strong enough to overcome evil's corruptive twins power and temptation. The Ship of Ishtar, on the other hand, explores man's tenuous relationship with reality and the abstract. Inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 1999, A. Merritt's fiction heavily influenced contemporary H. P. Lovecraft, as well as modern authors such as Michael Moorcock, James Cawthorn, Robert Bloch, and Dungeons & Dragons(c) co-creator Gary Gygax.
Recenzii
"Students of early science fiction will welcome the University of Nebraska Press's series Bison Frontiers of Imagination."—Times Literary Supplement
“First published as a novel in 1919, this path-breaking genre piece was praised by the New York Times. . . . Merritt was among the first . . . to speculate in fiction about the implications of the new science, archeology, and anthropology at the turn of the century. . . . An entertaining ode to love and sacrifice.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Fantasy, romance, adventure; something of mystery, something of the supernatural; a weaving together of ancient legends, older by far than any historical records, with the scientific knowledge of the present day; and side by side with these, yet far above and mastering them, the power of human love and willing self-sacrifice, the whole held together by a shimmering, glittering web of imagination . . . It marks the debut of a writer possessed of a very unusual, perhaps one might almost call it extraordinary, richness of imagination.”—New York Times Book Review
