“Arthur Machen never wrote to amaze anyone, he wrote because he lived in a strange world and felt and realized it very well,” noted H. L. Borges. “The alchemy of the word,” which he mastered in its entirety, allowed him to revive on the pages of his prose clouded, half-erased images of long-forgotten legends and traditions, overly sketchy formulas of “occult science,” turning them into a “living miracle.” In the collection of Arthur Machen “ IN CONVERTENDO" includes selected stories and essays from different years.
