Sinopse

In 'Hieroglyphics,' Arthur Machen delves into the intricate relationship between art and the supernatural, exploring the often-overlooked depths of human experience. With a unique blend of rich, evocative prose and philosophical musings, Machen constructs a narrative that oscillates between the mystical and the mundane. The book is a precursor to the modernist movement, revealing Machen's understanding of symbolism and the significance of the 'unseen' in art, effectively challenging the conventional perceptions of reality and expression at the turn of the 20th century. Arthur Machen, a Welsh author and mystic, is renowned for his influential works that blur the lines between horror, fantasy, and philosophical inquiry. His background is steeped in both the occult and a robust literary tradition that includes Gothic literature and symbolism. These influences, combined with his enchantment with the unknown, led him to explore the profound ways in which art engages with the metaphysical realm, culminating in this thought-provoking text. 'Hieroglyphics' is a must-read for anyone intrigued by the intersections of literature, philosophy, and spirituality. Machen's exploration of the hidden meanings within art invites readers to reflect on their own perceptions and encourages a deeper understanding of the complexities that lie beneath the surface.

    "The Outsider" is a short story by American horror writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written between March and August 1921, it was first published in Weird Tales, April 1926. In this work, a mysterious individual who has been living alone in a castle for as long as he can remember decides to break free in search of human contact and light. "The Outsider" is one of Lovecraft's most commonly reprinted works and is also one of the most popular stories ever to be published in Weird Tales."The Outsider" combines horror, fantasy, and gothic fiction to create a nightmarish story, containing themes of loneliness, the abhuman, and the afterlife. Its epigram is from John Keats' 1819 poem "The Eve of St. Agnes".In a letter, Lovecraft himself said that, of all his tales, this story most closely resembles the style of his idol Edgar Allan Poe, writing that it "represents my literal though unconscious imitation of Poe at its very height." The opening paragraphs echo those of Poe's "Berenice", while the horror at the party recalls the unmasking scene in "The Masque of the Red Death".
