Can the stories of the ancient Vedic mythology, full of monsters and titans, and grand cycles of great epics, which unfold in eons of infinite time lost in the eternal cosmic forge, have inspired HP Lovecraft and his Cthulhu Mythos? The present study, the result of passionate and painstaking research, supported From the letters of the same Lovecraft, explores the subject without prejudice or bias of any kind, with the clinical eye of the scholar careful to catch every reference, every nuance or particular source that references in mythologies and traditions within the real Lovecraftian fiction. The picture that emerges is surprising, sometimes enlightening, but always an incentive to deal with an air of critical reading of the tales of Lovecraft, who once again prove to be not only simple escapist literature, but arises from accurate sources, materials that mythical and syncretic, revised by the author's lively imagination, make up a mythology of archetypes from the universal meaning.
From the back cover:
is not easy to fully identify the cultural roots of the imaginary Lovecraftian, it lost between myth, dream, legend and literature, but you can try to find in this "mare magnum "Some islands, some" beacons "that allow the reader and the impassioned, if not the discovery of the correct way, at least the identification of valid points of reference, useful for not permanently lost and not to be wrecked "disreputable" atolls.
this study, the result of a synthesis of dense and clear, aims to identify some of the archetypes of the Indo-European tradition present in the work of Lovecraft, and in detail to highlight what elements of ancient India, through various channels, are came to his attention, influencing the thought and art. Theme
certainly not easy, that you do not pretend to give a definitive answer, but that is dealt with in these pages in a secure, agile and pleasant, but always respecting the accuracy of documentation and with the right methodological rigor.
The volume is made tiratura limitata (disponibile quindi per un periodo limitato di tempo) ed internamente รจ arricchito dalle “visioni” del famoso pittore-esploratore Nicholas Roerich.
