The Night Land

Bag om The Night Land

The Night Land is a science fiction and horror novel written by British author William Hope Hodgson. It was first published in 1912 and tells the story of a future world where the sun has gone out and the last remaining humans live in a giant pyramid-shaped city called the Last Redoubt. The protagonist of the story, who is never named, falls in love with a woman he sees in his dreams and sets out on a perilous journey through the dark and dangerous Night Land to find her.The Night Land is a unique and influential work of science fiction that has inspired many other writers in the genre. It is known for its vivid descriptions of a bizarre and terrifying world, as well as its philosophical and spiritual themes. The book has been praised for its imaginative scope and its ability to create a sense of awe and wonder in its readers. However, it has also been criticized for its dense and sometimes difficult prose, as well as its outdated attitudes towards gender and race. Despite these flaws, The Night Land remains a classic of science fiction and a must-read for fans of the genre.Now, after that destruction which had come upon the Ten-thousand, and the fresh assurance that was upon us of the terror of the Night Land, it may be known that there could be no more thought to succour. Though, in truth, those Youths that went now upon the Road Where The Silent Ones Walk were far beyond our aid.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
