Více o knize

Machen's stories are pivotal to the late Victorian gothic revival and the 1890s decadent movement, drawing comparisons to classics like Stevenson's and Stoker's works. His influence extended to notable literary figures such as Wilde, Yeats, and Doyle, who admired his writing. Recent reissues, including the Library of Wales series, celebrate his legacy, particularly around his 150th birthday. Translations of his work, like Toulet's French version of "The Great God Pan," further highlight his impact on international literature, inspiring authors like Charles Williams.
