Reseña del libro "The Children of the Pool (en Inglés)"

Thank you for checking out this book by Theophania Publishing. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you soon. We have thousands of titles available, and we invite you to search for us by name, contact us via our website, or download our most recent catalogues. Machen's strong opposition to a materialistic viewpoint is obvious in many of his works, marking him as part of neo-romanticism. He was deeply suspicious of science, materialism, commerce, and Puritanism, all of which were anathema to Machen's conservative, bohemian, mystical, and ritualistic temperament. Machen's virulent satirical streak against things he disliked has been regarded as a weakness in his work, and rather dating, especially when it comes to the fore in works such as Dr Stiggins. Similarly, some of his propagandistic First World War stories also have little appeal to a modern audience. Machen, brought up as the son of a Church of England clergyman, always held Christian beliefs, though accompanied by a fascination with sensual mysticism; his interests in paganism and the occult were especially prominent in his earliest works. Machen was well read on such matters as alchemy, the kabbalah, and Hermeticism, and these occult interests formed part of his close friendship with A. E. Waite. Machen, however, was always very down to earth, requiring substantial proof that a supernatural event had occurred, and was thus highly sceptical of Spiritualism. Unlike many of his contemporaries, such as Oscar Wilde and Alfred Douglas, his disapproval of the Reformation and his admiration for the medieval world and its Roman Catholic ritualism did not fully tempt him away from Anglicanism - though he never fitted comfortably into the Victorian Anglo-Catholic world.

Arthur Machen es el seudónimo de Arthur Llewelyn Jones (1863-1947) un escritor y periodista galés que tiene el incuestionable honor de ser el padre de la novela decadente de terror. Después de una juventud un tanto errática, en la que compagina la escritura con trabajos eventuales, en 1890 Machen se dedica plenamente a la escritura gracias a una herencia familiar. De esos años de trabajo pleno surgirán sus mejores obras, las que le convertirán en un escritor tremendamente popular.Influenciado por las nuevas tendencias espirituales de su época, como el paganismo, el ocultismo o el espiritismo, Machen participa en distintos grupos hasta ingresar en la Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, una secta cristiana que preconizaba la recuperación de los antiguos rituales de la iglesia.Prolífico, Machen publicó 13 novelas que gozaron de una extraordinaria acogida popular, y resultó tremendamente influyente para todos aquellos autores que, después de él, decidieron explorar los aspectos más oscuros de la ficción.
