Hudební CD - „Master of Reality” je třetí album od legendární britské heavymetalové skupiny Black Sabbath vydané roku 1971. V Británii dosáhlo 5. příčky. Na tomto albu kytarista Tony Iommi poprvé přeladil svou kytaru o tři půltóny dolů na C?, aby snížil napětí strun, čímž se jeho zraněným prstům hrálo líp. Díky tomu se hlubší a "blátivější" zvuk stal jakousi známkou tohoto alba. Texty se zabývají drogami, samotou, válkou a teologií. Text pro skladbu "After Forever" napsal Tony Iommi (jediný sabbathovský text doposud připisovaný pouze jemu). Téma skladby je silně křesťanské. "Master of Reality" je také citováno jako vlivné na mnoho stoner metalových a sludge metalových muzikantů. Black Sabbath jsou anglická heavymetalová skupina, považovaná též za zakladatele heavy metalu, která prakticky ovlivnila mnoho jiných stylů.

Frequently imitated and widely influential, Howard Philips Lovecraft reinvented the horror genre in the 1920s, discarding ghosts and witches and instead envisioning mankind as a tiny outpost of dwindling sanity in a chaotic and malevolent universe. S. T. Joshi, Lovecraft's preeminent interpreter, presents a selection of the master's fiction, from the early tales of nightmares and madness such as "The Outsider" to the overpowering cosmic terror of "The Call of Cthulhu". More than just a collection of terrifying tales, this volume reveals the development of Lovecraft's mesmerizing narrative style and establishes him as a canonical- and visionary-American writer.

In any case, he faithfully fulfilled the precepts of poetism about the world and poetry—to be multisensory. Imbued with “all the beauties of the world,” Seifert’s verses are introduced with a mischievously reversed paraphrase of Karel Hynek Máchas (1810–1836) famous words: Light grief on the...
