The Color fallen from the sky

the Color fallen from the sky ( The Color out off Space ) is a news of Howard Philips Lovecraft published in 1927 which fits in the Mythe of Cthulhu, invention of the same author. This account belongs to the very first collection of Lovecraft published in France ( the Color fallen from the sky , Denoël editions, 1954), with a foreword of Jacques Bergier. The original French translation, due to Jacques Grandpa, presented a text partially truncated: the last lines of the news, in particular, had been cut in order to obtain a more abrupt end. In 1991, at the time of the publication of works of Lovecraft to the editions Robert Laffont, this translation was revised and increased by Simone Lamblin.
