Роберт Чамберс - электронные книги

Поговаривают, что есть пьеса, которая оставляет после прочтения только безумие и печаль. Она искушает тех, кто ее читает, навлекая странные видения и приводя к отчаянию. Это «Король в желтом».

Они стали особенно популярны в начале XIX века, но и позднее интерес читателей к ним не иссяк: даже в эпоху философского скептицизма, расцвета науки и триумфа техники готическая литература остается востребованной, а таинственное,…

For the first time in one volume, the best stories of one of America's most popular classic authors of the supernatural. Robert William Chambers' The King in Yellow (1895) has long been recognised as a landmark work in the eld of the macabre, and has been described as the most important work of American supernatural fiction between Poe and the moderns. Despite the book's success, its author was to return only rarely to the genre during the remainder of a writing career which spanned four decades. When Chambers did return to the supernatural, however, he displayed all the imagination and skill which distinguished The King in Yellow. He…

Does anybody remember the opera of The Inca, and that heartbreaking episode where the Court Undertaker, in a morbid desire to increase his professional skill, deliberately accomplishes the destruction of his middle-aged relatives in order to inter them for the sake of practise?

Resentment at the invasion of Belgium. Contempt for the Imperial Government which is industriously screwing the last penny of "indemnity" out of a ruined nation, which the people of the United States are taxing their private means to keep from starvation.…

Those who read this romance for the sake of what history it may contain will find the histories from which I have helped myself more profitable. Those antiquarians who hunt their hobbies through books had best drop the trail of this book at the preface, for they will draw but a blank covert in these pages. Better for the antiquarian that he seek the mansion of Sir William Johnson, which is still standing in Johnstown, New York, and see with his own eyes the hatchet-scars in the solid mahogany banisters where Thayendanegea hacked out polished chips. It would doubtless prove more profitable for the antiquarian to thumb those hatchet-marks…
