Der amerikanische Schriftsteller und Dichter E. A. Poe (1809-1849) gilt als Erfinder eines neuen Genres der Literatur - das des fantastischen Kriminalromans.In seinen grausamen, tragischen und spannenden Werken sp眉rt man sehr deutlich den Einfluss der englischen und deutschen Romantik, besonders den von G. G. Byron und E. T. A. Hoffmann. Die Eigenart des Stils von E. A. Poe hat keine Nachfolger in seiner Heimat gefunden, sondern im Ausdruck des Schaffens von Charles Baudelaire und hierdurch sp盲ter im Symbolismus und in der Dekadenzdichtung.Diese Ausgabe enth盲lt 12 phantastische Erz盲hlungen von E. A. Poe.
The name Poe brings to mind images of murderers and madmen, premature burials, and mysterious women who return from the dead. His works have been in print since 1827 and include such literary classics as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, and The Fall of the House of Usher. This versatile writer鈥檚 oeuvre includes short stories, poetry, a novel, a textbook, a book of scientific theory, and hundreds of essays and book reviews. He is widely acknowledged as the inventor of the modern detective story and an innovator in the science fiction genre, but he made his living as America鈥檚 first great literary critic and theoretician. Poe鈥檚 reputation today rests primarily on his tales of terror as well as on his haunting lyric poetry.
Just as the bizarre characters in Poe鈥檚 stories have captured the public imagination so too has Poe himself. He is seen as a morbid, mysterious figure lurking in the shadows of moonlit cemeteries or crumbling castles. This is the Poe of legend. But much of what we know about Poe is wrong, the product of a biography written by one of his enemies in an attempt to defame the author鈥檚 name.
The real Poe was born to traveling actors in Boston on January 19, 1809. Edgar was the second of three children. His other brother William Henry Leonard Poe would also become a poet before his early death, and Poe鈥檚 sister Rosalie Poe would grow up to teach penmanship at a Richmond girls鈥� school. Within three years of Poe鈥檚 birth both of his parents had died, and he was taken in by the wealthy tobacco merchant John Allan and his wife Frances Valentine Allan in Richmond, Virginia while Poe鈥檚 siblings went to live with other families. Mr. Allan would rear Poe to be a businessman and a Virginia gentleman, but Poe had dreams of being a writer in emulation of his childhood hero the British poet Lord Byron. Early poetic verses found written in a young Poe鈥檚 handwriting on the backs of Allan鈥檚 ledger sheets reveal how little interest Poe had in the tobacco business.

枚ncelikle bence gayet iyi bir derleme, poe'nun en 枚nemli 枚yk眉lerinden alt谋n b枚cek, k谋z谋l 枚l眉m眉n maskesi, kara kedi gibi k眉ltler var. ke艧ke kuyu ve sarka莽 ile gammaz y眉rek de bu se莽kide yer alsayd谋.
derleme iyi olmas谋na ra臒men 眉z眉lerek s枚yl眉yorum tomris uyar 莽evirisini be臒enmedim, 枚zellikle de usher evi'nin 莽枚k眉艧眉'n眉 cidden k枚t眉le艧tirmi艧ti, 枚yk眉n眉n kritik k谋s谋mlar谋 anla艧谋lmayacak 艧ekilde karma艧谋k ifade edilmi艧ti vs. muhtemelen burada ilk kez okudu臒um 枚yk眉leri bir ba艧ka 莽eviriden tekrar okurum gelecekte.
Es un compendio de cuentos de edgar allan poe y que conservan su l铆nea un poco oscura y de suspenso. El cuento que le da su nombre al libro es muy bien logrado y hace referencia a lo imposible de escapar a la muerte. Esta edici贸n de este libro tiene varios cuentos acompa帽ando al que le da el nombre a la obra: los cr铆menes de la calle morgue (muy bueno al estilo Sherlock Holmes), Berenice, Morelia, etc. Todos interesantes de leer y que disfrut茅 m谩s unos que otros. Es un libro corto que recomiendo si quieres cuentos m谩s oscuros, menos t铆picos, m谩s de suspenso.
A short but concise (as most of Poe's work) story about Prince Prospero and his struggle with Death. An interesting idea to show how people are trying to outsmart fate.
In the face of the devastating plague, the prince's court hides in the castle and entertains as in the best of times. However, an uninvited guest wearing the title mask of scarlet death sneaks to the costume party... and a dance macabre begins.
Classic at its best. It is worth reading, especially that reading will not take much time, and certainly will provide a lot of emotions.
Una sombr铆a y breve historia, tan detallada y descriptiva, como intrigante. Sabes que algo aterrador puede ocurrir, pero nunca el qu茅. La pluma de Edgar Allan Poe te atrapa sin remedio con su terror psicol贸gico y espeluznante. Hace que te sea imposible dejar de leer, nunca sabes que elemento o fuerza va a surgir de repente y porqu茅. La originalidad de sus historias, sus palabras cargadas de poes铆a y la profundidad de los personajes y pensamientos, convierten sus obras en una obra de arte oscura y siniestra.

i really enjoyed the first three short stories, but I ended up stopping. reading several short stories in a row just wasn't working for me 鈥� blame it on my ADD, lol. unfortunately, i didn't realize they were short stories to begin with.
I went back to Poe because he is the writer of the fall, and after a difficult reading I needed to detach myself with an easier reading. Another story that I liked in which the author portrays very well the idea that you can never run away from fate no matter how hard you try. I also have a favorite quote: "And in the heart of the most careless are strings that cannot be touched without causing emotion." This book was suitable simply because of the gothic atmosphere it has. And I'm sure it won't be the last book I read from this author.
El primer libro de este estilo que le铆, y el inicio de mi amor por el g茅nero. No puedo ser objetivo con la calificaci贸n pues lo veo con el cristal de la nostalgia.
Eternamente agradecido xon la profesora Norma Zamora por hacernos trabajar estos textos en la secundaria y por hacerme entrar al maravilloso mundo de la escritura.
Hik芒yeler 莽ok ak谋c谋, Tomris Uyar'谋n 莽evirisini de 莽ok be臒endim. Ancak 莽ok fazla imla hatas谋 var kitapta. Edit枚rler bu konuya dikkat etmeli. Bir puan谋 buradan k谋rd谋m. Ama Poe'nun 枚yk眉leri ger莽ekten harika. Di臒er yazd谋klar谋n谋 da okumaya karar verdim bu kitaptan sonra. Ke艧ke daha uzun ya艧asaym谋艧 kendisi, nitelikli nice eserler b谋rakabilirdi bizlere...
Gothic edebiyat denilince akl谋ma ilk gelen yazar Poe'dan g眉zel hikayeler..Tomris Uyar'谋n 莽evirisine ise ayr谋 bay谋ld谋m..莽eviri kalitesinin kitaplar谋 okurken ne kadar 枚nem arz etti臒ini ispat eden bir kitap resmen.. Hikayelerdeki ilgin莽 olaylar g眉zel bir 莽eviri ile ayr谋 bir g眉zellik kazanm谋艧..
Creo que Edgar Allan Poe no est谩 dentro de mis escritores ni de mis estilos de lecturas. Es cierto que este autor tiene un sello personal muy caracter铆stico escribiendo, pero me ha faltado mucha conexi贸n con el libro. Sinceramente se me ha hecho bastante bola acabarlo.
Okurken olaylar谋n i莽ine 莽ok giremedim. Bir sebepten dolay谋 s眉rekli kitaptan uzakla艧t谋臒谋m谋 hissettim ve dikkatimi toplamaya 莽al谋艧t谋m. Bir ka莽 b枚l眉m d谋艧谋nda ilgimi 莽ekmeyi ba艧aramad谋 san谋r谋m. Ama Poe nun 枚yk眉lerini seviyorum yine de.
