P. Lovecraft Society"},"content":{"rendered":"
The establishment of the Society was preceded by a long period. It took almost a year for the idea to become an association. Through this time we have travelled a lot, we made phonecalls, posted tons of letters, and with the help of our jurist member, dr. Istv\u00e1n Schubert, our Society\u2019s constitution has been signed. This document naturally states our purposes:<\/p>\n
The purpose of The Hungarian H. P. Lovecraft Society\u2019s establishment is not to have an association which represents the hungarian Lovecraft-phile community only by name. We have established the purposes and tasks at the very first day, which determine our function. It will take several years to accomplish these tasks, but we take this \u201ejob\u201d. We already got help with these, and we are looking forward to the help of our future members.<\/p>\n
ENCYCLOPEDIA<\/p>\n
One of the prior tasks of the Society is to create an online encyclopedia, which bears the resemblance of Wikipedia. This page would be free for everyone, and would provide an authentic and professional content, which could be used for writing dissertations, essays and other studies. Every entry in this encyclopedia would be checked, with the acknowledgment of source.<\/p>\n
We have permission to use the well known book of S.T. Joshi and David E. Schultz<\/strong> called \u201eAn H.P. Lovecraft Encyclopedia\u201d<\/a><\/span> in order to create the encyclopedia, and to translate its entries to Hungarian in order to make them accessible to hungarian community. Several entries may be transfered from here, but we create our own dreafts too, and we also rely ont he community, since everyone can send us new entries, and can suggest any modifications in the exicting content.<\/p>\n BIBLIOGRAPHY<\/p>\n With creating of the bibliography we would like to set up a knowledge base, which will examine certain works of H. P. Lovecraft in professional and aesthetic aspects. Certain analyses will encompass the writing\u2019s content, the circumstances of the creation, and anatomize their afterlife. They will reference professional and private opinions, summing up their content. These analyses will also be adequate for writing dissertations, essays and other studies, but they will contain plenty of useful information for those who don\u2019t want to use them in such way. Background informations can change someones opinion of a certain work in many cases. The bibliography will be written by the Society\u2019s members at full length. Every single analyses will be published on the website, where everybody can reach them, and of course, they become a part of the encyclopedia as searchable content.<\/p>\n BIOGRAPHY<\/p>\n We are planning to create a complex biography, which presents and analyses the life of H.P. Lovecraft as acurate as possible, including every details we can get. In order to create this piece, the place of the work should be Mr. Lovecraft\u2019s hometown and Brown University, but naturraly we are not able to work there. That is why we thought we\u2019d translate a published work to hungarian, which is already known and acknowledged. S. T. Joshi, honorary member and mentor of the Society, has provided us his writing called \u201eA Dreamer and a Visionary: H.P. Lovecraft in his Time\u201d<\/a> in order to help our work, and to allow the hungarian community to learn about Lovecraft life. The book is under translation, we are planning to publish it online in parts for free and reachable for everyone. This is a long procedure, we will notify our members via newsletter when each part is finished.<\/p>\n TRANSLATING SHORT STORIES, COLLABORATIONS AND POEMS<\/p>\n The list of H. P. Lovecraft\u2019s works, which are translated to hungarian, is almost complete. A Part of his collaborations is available, most of his poems remain to be translated. Primarily we focus on his poems, in which we welcome any help from our comminity. Our purpose is to maintain a partnership with publishing companies, professional translators. In the course of this, all of H. P. Lovecraft\u2019s work will be available for the hungarian community in hungarian. Probably not all part of this process will come true, because of clear economic reasons, but we do everything we can, to make most of the works available on our website.<\/p>\n TRANSLATION OF ESSAYS. DISSERTATIONS AND CORRESPONDENCE<\/p>\n A part of essays and dissertations of H. P. Lovecraft is already available in hungarian, although a lot of material is yet to be translated, which is important to understand his intellectuality. We pointed out the translation of these works also as our purpose, and naturally we except help from the community. An enormous amount of correspondence subsisted, which he had maintaned with friends, his admirers and other authors. A very little amount of these has been translated to hungarian so far.<\/p>\n
