indice news letteratura esclusive ... link autori Clark Ashton Smith Clark Ashton Smith nacque il 13 gennaio 1893 a Long Valley in California. Trascorse quasi tutta la sua vita ad Auburn, un paesetto poco distante dal luogo di nascita e solo nel 1954, dopo aver sposato Carol Jones Dorman, si trasferì a Pacific Grove. Condusse una vita da recluso al pari di Lovecraft. Nel 1928 apparve il suo primo racconto e tra il 1929 e il 1936 produsse oltre un centinaio di racconti e romanzi brevi. La maggior parte dei suoi scritti fu pubblicata dalla famosa rivista americana “Weird Tales”. Ancora oggi, i sui cicli di racconti fantasy/horror sono degni di grande apprezzamento da parte di critici e lettori, in particolare quelli di Averoigne, Iperborea e Zothique. Smith completò solo gli studi elementari e, da autodidatta, divenne padrone di uno degli stili prosaici più monumentali e lapidari della letteratura americana. Imparò anche il francese e lo spagnolo diventando un eccellente traduttore di Baudelaire. Morì il 14 Agosto 1961. VAMPIROGRAFIA La Fine della Storia The End of the Story Apparso per la prima volta nella rivista “Weird Tales”. Tra le rovine di un castello nascosto nei boschi di Averoigne, una gentile e affascinante fanciulla aspetta pazientemente qualcuno che abbia il coraggio di avvicinarsi, per premiarlo con baci difficili da dimenticare.

82. Clark Ashton Smith – The Emperor Of Dreams clark ashton smith – The Emperor of Dreams. clark ashton smith (18931961) was one of the classic writers of fantastic fiction of the 1920 s and 30 s. http://pictish.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/reviews/emperor.htm

The Emperor of Dreams Clark Ashton Smith (1893-1961) was one of the classic writers of fantastic fiction of the 1920's and 30's. When I was beginning to read horror, Smith and Lovecraft were the boys! But nostalgia alone isn't what makes it a pleasure to have received this book for review. These stories were among the first. Their dark pages are the spawning ground for images that stalk through horror today. The Necronomicon was born here (and in the works of Lovecraft), gods and demons with jawtwisting names (such as Hzuilquoigmnzhah) ooze, slither and deliquesce through these pages. The imagery in these stories has become cliched through imitation and lampoonery, but it would be poor work that relied on imagery. These tales have another important component. They have structure, and it is in the building of this structure that Ashton Smith excels. His first love was poetry and language, and this shows in such places as the opening sentences of each piece. Take this from 'The Dark Eidolon': An excellent, poetic scene setter, atmosphere rolling out of each word. In a short story, a good opening is worth a page of description, and Clark knows a good opening.

The Door to Saturn Clark Ashton Smith When morghi, the high priest of the goddess Yhoundeh, together with twelve of his most ferocious and efficient underlings, came at morning twilight to seek the infamous heretic, Eibon, in his house of black gneiss on a headland above the northern main, they were surprised as well as disappointed to find him absent. Their surprise was due to the fact that they had every intention of taking him unawares; for all their plots against Eibon had been carried on with meticulous privacy in underground vaults with sound-proof bolted doors; and they themselves had made the long journey to his house in a single night, immediately following the hour of his condemnation. They were disappointed because the formidable writ of arrest, with symbolic flame-etched runes on a scroll of human skin, was now useless and because there seemed to be no early prospect of trying out the ingenious agonies, the intricately harrowing ordeals which they had devised for Eibon with such care. Morghi was especially disappointed; and the malisons which he muttered when the emptiness of the topmost room had revealed itself, were of truly cabalistic length and fearfulness. Eibon was his chief rival in wizardry, and was acquiring altogether too much fame and prestige among the peoples of Mhu Thulan, that ultimate peninsula of the Hyperborean continent. So Morghi had been glad to believe certain malignant rumors concerning Eibon and to utilize them in the charges he had preferred.

View Cart The Black Diamonds By Clark Ashton Smith. Edited by S. T. Joshi. Illustrated by Jason C. Eckhardt. Paper: $15.00 At the age of fourteen, Clark Ashton Smith wrote an Arabian Nights adventure novel called The Black Diamonds . At nearly 90,000 words, it is the longest work of fiction he would ever write in his long career. The thrilling and fast-paced story of seventeenth-century Bagdad deals with two mysterious black diamonds and the conflict they engender between an Arab family and the powerful thief who seeks to regain them. Kidnapping, piracy, and even a possibly supernatural "Lake of Fire" are all involved in this vibrant and well-crafted narrative. Although a work of Smith's youth, The Black Diamonds can withstand comparison with any of his later tales of Zothique, Hyperborea, and Atlantis for compelling readability. This never-before published novel has been meticulously edited by leading fantasy scholar S. T. Joshi. The lost pages from The Black Diamonds (pdf) Subscribe to our mailing list.

The Poetics of Morbidity: The Original Text to Clark Ashton Smith's "The Maze of Maal Dweb" commentary by Jim Rockhill I did not give Smith another chance until the colorful Gervasio Gallardo cover for Xiccarph Clark Ashton Smith wrote the tale "The Maze of the Enchanter" in autumn 1932. Unable to publish it, or unwilling to submit it to the editing he knew any commercial editor would demand, he included it in the self-published pamphlet in 1933. Five years later a severely pruned version of the tale appeared in the October 1938 issue of Weird Tales as "The Maze of Maal Dweb." This later text appears in the canonical volume Lost Worlds (Arkham House, 1944), The City of the Singing Flame A Rendezvous in Averoigne (Arkham House, 1988). Aside from appearances in two volumes edited by Lin Carter for the Adult Fantasy Series the anthology The Young Magicians Xiccarph (The Strange Company, 1979), Smith's richer, original version of the tale has been supplanted by the later, simpler text. The Unexpurgated Clark Ashton Smith Strange Shadows Elsewhere the revisions do not merely dilute the atmosphere, but subtly blunt the action as well. Here is the description of Tiglari's escalade from the same point in first the original text:
