Leer At the mountains of madness online gratis (en inglés)

"At the mountains of madness" by H. P. Lovecraft is a science-fiction and cosmic horror novella written in 1931 and published in 1936. The story follows Dr. William Dyer as he recounts a catastrophic Antarctic expedition in 1930, hoping to prevent future explorers from returning. His team discovers an ancient alien civilization predating humanity, preserved ruins beyond towering mountains, and prehistoric creatures that defy classification. As they uncover the terrifying history of Earth's original inhabitants through ancient murals, they encounter something far more dangerous lurking in the frozen wasteland.

Popular imagination, I judge, responded actively to our wireless
bulletins of Lake's start northwestward into regions never trodden
by human foot or penetrated by human imagination, though we did not
mention his wild hopes of revolutionizing the entire sciences of
biology and geology.

His preliminary sledging and boring journey of January 11th to 18th
with Pabodie and five others--marred by the loss of two dogs in an
upset when crossing one of the great pressure ridges in the ice--had
brought up more and more of the Archæan slate; and even I was
interested by the singular profusion of evident fossil markings in that
unbelievably ancient stratum.

These markings, however, were of very primitive life forms involving
no great paradox except that any life forms should occur in rock as
definitely pre-Cambrian as this seemed to be; hence I still failed to
see the good sense of Lake's demand for an interlude in our time-saving
program--an interlude requiring the use of all four planes, many men,
and the whole of the expedition's mechanical apparatus.

I did not, in the end, veto the plan, though I decided not to accompany
the northwestward party despite Lake's plea for my geological advice.
While they were gone, I would remain at the base with Pabodie and five
men and work out final plans for the eastward shift. In preparation for
this transfer, one of the planes had begun to move up a good gasoline
supply from McMurdo Sound; but this could wait temporarily. I kept
with me one sledge and nine dogs, since it is unwise to be at any time
without possible transportation in an utterly tenantless world of
æon-long death.

Lake's subexpedition into the unknown, as every one will recall, sent
out its own reports from the short-wave transmitters on the planes;
these being simultaneous
