Aprašymas
The novels and short stories of William Hope Hodgson (1877-1918), though almost entirely unknown during his lifetime, have become some of the most influential early works in fields of literature as diverse as fantasy, science fiction, and horror. Among his small body of longer fiction is "The Boats of the 'Glen Carrig, '" a curious narrative of weird menace and strange adventure on the high seas. Imitating the popular travelogues of the age of exploration, the narrative concerns the adventures of a group of castaways-first, upon a strange land where even the vegetation is a dreadful enemy, and later in the famous Sargasso Sea of legend, a place of ancient derelicts, deadly cephalopods, and the mysterious and sinister "weed-men." Mesembria Press is proud to present a new edition of William Hope Hodgson's "The Boats of the 'Glen Carrig, '" newly annotated to clarify some of the book's obscure nautical terminology, as well as provide additional insight into the author's unique imaginative vision.
