Never having a book of his stories published in his lifetime he became a best seller after his death. Dying in poverty and obscurity convinced of his own utter failure he has been hailed not only as the equal of Poe but even as once of the greatest writers of all time. A self-proclaimed misanthrope he collected a circle of devoted friends who remember him as one of the kindest most delightful and most lovable persons they had known. The son of parents both of whom died insane Lovecraft became a powerful philosophical thinker. A scientific materialist he embraced pseudo-scientific racial theories only to abandon them in his last years. A poseur who liked to fancy himself as an eighteenth century English gentleman he condemned poses and affectations in others. A political ultra-conservative he became a Socialist and New Dealer. A man who prided himself on aristocratic reticence he poured out his inmost thoughts in at least 100000 letters making him one of the greatest letter writers of all time. Here is the tale of his weird upbringing; his bizarre habits preferences his tragi-comic literary and marital careers; his key role in the origin of science-fiction fandom; and how he worked his nightmares and neuroses into the stories that became a legend after his death"--- any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo ///NOT SIGNED///.

West Kingston RI: Donald M. Grant Publisher Inc. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1981. Limited Edition; 1st Printing. Hardcover. B&W Illustrations; This edition is limited to 1250 copies signed by the author and the artist Tim Kirk. The book is in Fine condition and has a Very Good price clipped dust jacket otherwise the dust jacket is in Fine condition. "De Camp had the mind of an educator and a common theme in many of his works is a corrective impulse regarding similar previous works by other authors. A highly rational and logical thinker he was frequently disturbed by what he regarded as logical lapses and absurdities in others' writings. Some like Asimov felt de Camp's conscientiousness about facts limited the scope of his stories: de Camp was reluctant to use technological or scientific concepts e. G. hyperspace or faster-than-light travel if he did not think them possible. Thus his response to Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court was to write a similar time travel novel Lest Darkness Fall in which the method of time travel was rationalized and the hero's technical expertise both set at a believable level and constrained by the technological limitations of the age." from Wikipedia; Signed by Author .

"In like fashion he reimagined space opera and planetary romance in his "Viagens Interplanetarias" series and the prehistoric precursor civilizations characteristic of much heroic fantasy in his Pusadian series. When he was not debunking literary conventions he was often explaining them. For example in the Harold Shea stories co-written with his longtime friend Fletcher Pratt 1897�1956 the magical premises of some bodies of myths and legends were accepted but examined and elucidated in terms of their own systems of inherent logic. The imaginative civilizations in The Compleat Enchanter for example are built upon a cultural and technological reality based on scientific formulas. Characters may be transported to these different worlds but the magic contained within those worlds is only feasible to the extent that it coincides with the technology of the day e. G. the combustion engine. De Camp's explanatory tendency also carried over into his non-fictional writings including advice to science fiction writers on handling the different states of languages in future worlds.
