Arkham, 1933. Professor Dyer, a prominent geologist, learns that a
scientific expedition will soon leave for Antarctica following in
the footsteps of the journey which he himself had made in 1931. In
the hope of dissuading the attempt, Dyer decides to make a full
account of the tragic events he had survived, this time without
omitting the passages which he had kept silent about on his return,
for fear of being taken for a madman. Two years earlier, ships
chartered by Miskatonic University had landed on the frozen
continent at the start of the Antarctic summer, and the group of
four professors and sixteen students set to work immediately. The
expedition biologist, Professor Lake, left with several members of
the team to follow a promising fossil track. After just a few days,
he announced by radio that he had discovered astonishing specimens
of an unknown ancient species, before stopping all communication
after a terrible storm. Guessing the worst, Dyer went to their
rescue the next day. What he discovered went beyond his wildest
fears ... In the illustrated AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS VOL.1,
artist, Francois Baranger, acclaimed for his work as a concept
designer for cinema and video games, has performed the incredible
task of reimagining one of H.P. Lovecraft's most classic and
horrific tales into visual art. Landscapes of frozen wastes,
unspeakable creatures millions of years old found in an abnormal
state of conservation, strange geometric structures at the top of
black mountains. Words cannot do the visuals justice. It is a book
with images to pour over.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
