Sinossi
In futuro, il Sole morirà e l'eterna notte avvolgerà ogni cosa. In quel futuro, ci sveglieremo ripensando a tutto ciò che oggi viviamo, al nostro presente e sarà come sognare... Una nebbia grigia, evanescente come una fosca nuvola, circonderà l'Ultima Ridotta, la Grande Piramide di metallo grigio che ospiterà nel sottosuolo i pochi abitanti superstiti di questo mondo. Protetta e prigioniera nelle sue mura d'acciaio, quello che resterà dell'umanità vivrà giorni scanditi da ritmi matematici. Fuori, nel buio eterno di una Terra senza aurore, tra megaliti animati da malefiche volontà, si aggireranno creature mostruose, inenarrabili emanazioni di forze imperscrutabili. Eppure, un giovane deciderà di avventurarsi sulla superficie, seguendo il richiamo di qualcuno, o di qualcosa, che non riesce a ignorare.

Yes yes...the writing style is obnoxious and the constant repetition is grating, but as a reader what would you rather have? 1. A well-paced and readable thriller of a book that causes you no pain, but is soon forgotten and is (in verity) a mediocrity? 2. Or a book that infuriates you and tries your p Leggi tutto
The Nightland by William Hope Hodgson is definitely what I would characterize as an Eldritch, dark, science fiction, weird horror, fantasy novel that is not for everyone. It is written in a lyrical fashion with almost every paragraph beginning with "And." Lovecraft himself called it "one of the most Leggi tutto
Disappointing. I was excited to read this after experiencing The House on the Borderland but this severely dragged. The beginning to this novel is supremely evocative; a world in darkness due to the absence of the sun, lit from within by flaming pits and powered by a type of geothermal energy. The la Leggi tutto
Novela de terror, y algo de empalagoso romance, de principios del siglo pasado. La trama va de un caballero del siglo XVII, de luto por la muerte de su amada Lady Mirdath, que empieza entonces a tener visiones de un futuro lejano llegando a delirar y ver el mundo a través de los ojos de una encarnaci Leggi tutto
A five star rating elsewhere is a 'perfect' score, but as on Goodreads it signifies 'amazing' I unequivocally cast such a rating. As most Hodgson aficionados would admit, The Night Land is a flawed jewel. The prose is clumsy and laboured, the repetition is vitiating and the second half of the book s Leggi tutto
