"Azathoth" is the beginning of a never-completed novel written by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft. It was written in June 1922 and published as a fragment in the journal Leaves in 1938, after Lovecraft's death. It is the first piece of fiction to mention the fictional being Azathoth, one of the major entities in Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, though the entity only appears in the title.

Mit diesen Worten skizzierte H. P. Lovecraft den chaotischen Mittelpunkt seines Kosmos: Azathoth, den blinden, tollpatschigen Gott, der träumend das Universum gebiert – und dessen Erwachen alles beenden könnte. Sie führt den Leser mitten ins Herz der kosmischen Bedeutungslosigkeit und öffnet den Vorhang zu einer Dunkelheit, die größer ist als jedes Leben.

Azathoth is a deity in the Cthulhu Mythos and Dream Cycle stories of writer H. P. Lovecraft and other authors. He is the ruler of the Outer Gods. When age fell upon the world, and wonder went out of the minds of men; when grey cities reared to smoky skies tall towers grim and ugly, in whose shadow none might dream of the sun or of spring’s flowering meads; when learning stripped earth of her mantle of beauty, and poets sang no more save of twisted phantoms seen with bleared and inward-looking eyes.

The modern world has been stripped of imagination and belief in magic when a man gazing from his window upon the stars comes to observe secret vistas unsuspected by normal humanity. One night the gulf between his world and the stars is bridged, and his mind ascends from his body out into the boundless cosmos.

Azathoth, der Dämonensultan, das nukleare Chaos. Größter aller Götter. Es heißt, im Zentrum des Universums befindet sich, umgeben von in den Wahnsinn treibenden dünnen Tönen unzähliger kleiner Flöten der ultimativen Götter, ein blasphemisches Wesen das absolute Herrschaft über Zeit und Raum ausübt. Diese mächtige Kreatur besitzt keinen eigenen Willen und sät lediglich Chaos und Vernichtung über alles mit dem es in Verbindung gelangt.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft est sans nul doute l'auteur fantastique le plus influent du XXe siècle. Son imaginaire unique et terrifiant n'a cessé d'inspirer des générations d'écrivains, de cinéastes, d'artistes ou de créateurs d'univers de jeux, de Neil Gaiman à Michel Houellebecq en passant par Metallica. Le mythe de Cthulhu est au cœur de cette œuvre: un panthéon de dieux et d'êtres monstrueux venus du cosmos et de la nuit des temps ressurgissent pour reprendre possession de notre monde. Ceux qui en sont témoins sont voués à la folie et à la destruction.
