Lovecraft. I - Providence. Book 2 Complete Biography of Lovecraft

Howard Phillips Lovecraft.
 
An eccentric recluse from Providence. A bold traveler. The father of modern supernatural horror. The creator of the god Cthulhu, the magic of the occult "Necronomicon" and at the same time an atheist. A self-published author. The last... gentleman of the 20th century. A kind friend with a great sense of humor. A racist and a misogynist. A faithful husband. A co-author without financial gain. An amateur and a prominent editor. A paradoxical thinker. A man of science who never finished school. A nightmarish writer and a scribbler. An exquisite master of horror literature. All these contradictory opinions are somewhat true. And this biography was written to explore his life and create a complete impression of Lovecraft's personality and era.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft lived only 46 years, but left an invaluable contribution to modern culture. His life was full of contradictions, ups, and downs.

Joshi, who has prepared the definitive biography of Lovecraft - an expanded and updated version of the book that became a winner of the Bram Stoker Award and the British Fantasy Award. In it, you will find countless details of Lovecraft's work that were previously unpublished, as well as new information from archives that have been discovered over the last 15 years, during which Joshi worked on the book. This is the last word in the science of Lovecraft and his era - a man, a writer, and a thinker who was ahead of his time and actually created a new literary genre.
