H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) was a great horror writer, correspondent, and philosopher. This book focuses on his stories, texts, and ideas. It attempts to make sense of their underlying unity. The main themes are value nihilism, cosmicism, the language of the unsayable, and the tension between science and magic. Special attention is paid to Lovecraft's style, which is shown to be an essential aspect of his creativity. Lovecraft was also an interesting person whose life is documented in his many letters. This book unifies the biographical, fictional, and philosophical dimensions of Lovecraft's writings.

Schon immer hat mich das Glück der Menschen fasziniert. Jeder sagt, er sei glücklich. In diesem Buch versuchte ich, die Hintergründe dieses Phänomens zu ergründen. Ich hoffe, damit das Glücklichsein der Menschen noch zu steigern. Das ist ziemlich idealistisch. Dennoch habe ich mich um Realismus bemüht, ein hässli-ches Wort wird so gesagt, wie es ist. Obwohl „Glücklichsein“ und „das Glücklichmachen der Menschen“ die Themen sind, gibt es Probleme. Taugt der Genuss als Thema des Glücks oder ist er gerade dies selbst - also Glück? Oder ist das Glück eine ethische Frage, so dass die Guten und Tugendhaften glücklich sind? Und die Gesellschaft? Leben wir im Eldorado? Ist Finnland das Paradies auf Erden, die beste aller möglichen Welten?
