This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!
Autorenporträt
Arthur Machen, born Arthur Llewellyn Jones in 1863 in Caerleon, Wales, was a writer and mystic known for his contributions to supernatural fiction. His parents were John Edward Jones, an Anglican clergyman, and Janet Machen. Growing up in a region rich with folklore and ancient history, he developed an early fascination with the mystical and the unknown. He moved to London as a young man, working as a translator before gaining recognition for his eerie and imaginative tales. Deeply influenced by Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Charles Dickens, his works often blended horror with elements of mysticism and philosophical speculation. His most famous writings, including The Great God Pan and The White People, helped shape the weird fiction genre and inspired later writers such as H.P. Lovecraft. His storytelling frequently explored themes of hidden realities, forbidden knowledge, and the uncanny lurking beneath everyday life. Though his literary career faced periods of struggle, his work gained appreciation in later years. He died in 1947 in Beaconsfield, leaving behind a legacy that continues to influence horror and fantasy literature.
