    The Temple was the first of Lovecraft's works that I ever read and it still stands as one of my favorites. The idea of it being a "recovered journal" lends a kind of authenticity and limitation to the narrative that makes it special.

      As a framing device in storytelling that goes way back. See A STRANGE MANUSCRIPT FOUND IN A COPPER CYLINDER (1888, though it was written and serialized well before that book pub date). Lovecraft was hardly the first but he definitely utilized it to its greatest effect in the 20th century. The layer of mystery it added to his tales was indispensable.

    The Temple is one of my favorite early Lovecraft stories, even though WW1 and WW2 U-Boats didn't actually have portholes for viewing outside of them,
    or underwater searchlights on them.
    All you need is a little suspension of disbelief on these points though. :-)

      Did they even have wireless diving suits back in WW1? He's talking about his air generator and portable battery - seems scifi even by todays standards.

      even if the suit had a hose.. what is going to do, pinch it between a bunch of hatches? My great grandfather was a ww2 submariner and it wasnt a pretty job at all. 12 dudes in a room with 16 torpedoes because the gov was more concerned with space for weapons than space for people. only thing US submariners in ww2 got was the best food in the military. and sometimes and ice cream freezer.

    @nickmagrick7702 4 роки тому +5

    its nice how he wrote it from a German military perspective, describing all his own acts as superior and other nations unjustly hostile towards them, their liberators. Though the way he beat his men for freaking out, makes me wonder if im more out of the times or if there was more personal dislike of the germans. Though its pretty inarguable that during the world wars their tactics and treatment of people during war time was less than human not counting where their actions were completely geared for the strategic impact of war, and worse with the few ranks given freedom to commit any hanious pleasures. Still that seems to me be partly the nature of war rather than the culture of the germans. Either way I could imagine being trapped on a ship with a captain so cruel and paradoxically fearful of the things he can't control/understand.

    • @nickmagrick7702
      @nickmagrick7702 4 роки тому

      @Max Schultz perhaps, there was a pretty strong anti-germen sentiment at the time, thanks to the world wars and all. People are always going to have some bias that are blind to them but reflect their time.
      It doesn't change the authenticity of the character nor does it talk about the effectiveness of using that kind of character to describe a order vs chaos analog.
      If he was simply trying to make a propaganda piece and that was his goal, don't you think he would have written more than one gernman centric story?

    • @nickmagrick7702
      @nickmagrick7702 4 роки тому

      @Max Schultz I still don't see why you have a concern that he painted a hypothetical german in a bad light, especially since we have more than enough evidence to show those kinds of people did exist.
      Also are you saying this is unintentional propaganda, and it should be, idk, removed or something?
      I think im reading over something your saying and missing your point.

    Since the protagonist is a german officer, you should listen to the german audiobook or, even better, the german audio drama released by Gruselkabinett. Both are really great and since they are spoken in german, they make the narration even more believable. The audio drama has some extremely shocking sound effects, especially at the very end...

    I'm really having difficulties focusing on the story because it feels like that's just the vehicle for his stock German recital.

    Yeah, Lovecraft's lack of knowledge of submarines is all that makes this story possible.

Only touring and deep sea exploration submersibles have any windows at all.
