H. P. Lovecraft
About this listen
Polaris ist der Titel einer frühen Kurzgeschichte H. P. Lovecrafts, die im Frühling oder Sommer 1918 geschrieben und im Dezember 1920 im Amateurmagazin Philosopher gedruckt wurde. Im Dezember 1937 wurde sie im Pulp-Magazin Weird Tales veröffentlicht und 1939 in den ersten Band des Verlags Arkham House aufgenommen. Sie gehört zur Gruppe der Fantasy-Geschichten und schildert, wie ein namenloser Ich-Erzähler vom Licht des Polarsterns verfolgt wird, träumend in ein mythisches Land reist und schließlich damit konfrontiert wird, dass auch seine wirkliche Welt ein Traum zu sein scheint, aus dem er nicht erwachen kann. Mit Polaris führte Lovecraft Elemente ein, die er in den kommenden Jahren mehrfach verarbeiten sollte. Neben der Region Lomar sind dies die "Pnakotischen Manuskripte", ein fiktives Buch, das später in den Bergen des Wahnsinns, dem leuchtenden Trapezoeder und vielen anderen Werken erwähnt wird.
Durch ein Nordfenster erblickt der Erzähler Polaris, der mit seinem „glühenden Licht“ unbeweglich zu sein scheint, während Sternbilder des Nordhimmels wie der Große Bär und Kassiopeia sich zu bewegen scheinen. In der Morgendämmerung sieht er Arktur über einem Friedhof blinken und weit im Osten das Haar der Berenike geisterhaft schimmern, während ihn der unbewegliche Nordstern "wie ein irr-wachendes Auge" anschielt, als wollte er eine Botschaft übermitteln. Als sich der Himmel nach einem blitzenden Nordlicht endlich bewölkt, schläft er ein und träumt, er durchstreife das Land Lomar und die Marmorstadt Olathoe mit ihren bleichen Mauern, Türmen, Säulen und Kuppeln. Bald erkennt er nobel gekleidete Männer, deren Sprache er versteht, obwohl er sie nie zuvor gesprochen hat.

When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Between 1903 and 1908, Lovecraft created many stories and sketches, about which we know nothing today beyond the fact that they existed. Almost all met the same fate: death in the flames at the hands of their creator. Lovecraft saved only two texts – "The Alchemist" (1908) and "The Beast in the Cave." The plot can be summarized in one sentence: a tourist gets lost in a vast cave, where he encounters the titular beast.

Story
Short story written by Jack London The Son of the Wolf consists of a single man who is known as Mckenzie or "Scruff". The story tells of the hardships of what single men had to endure on the frontier. Often men would venture on journeys that may consist of months or even years just in order to find the right suitor. Scruff had been the toughest of the tough and had lasted the longest on the frontier without the company of a woman. This story connects with naturalism by showing that nature can be just as cruel as it can be forgiving if someone is alone on the frontier.
