The Call of Cthulhu

Howard Phillips Lovecraft is an author who needs no introduction. The great fantasist had a decisive influence on mass culture in the 20th and 21st centuries. It was he who brought to life the gods of unspeakable antiquity, revealed the... laws of the cosmic order, beyond human understanding, and made humanity look at the stars with anxiety and horror, realizing its insignificance in the face of the Universe.
The literary works collected in this volume of Lovecraft's writings are dedicated to the marine representatives of the pantheon of the Ancient Gods. The articles and essays presented in the book showcase the great writer as a subtle and witty theorist and historian of literature and journalism.
Novels and stories are presented in new translations. The popular science works of the "hermit from Providence" are published for the first time in Russian. The texts are accompanied by illustrations specifically prepared for this edition.
