Books with title Selected tales of Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allen Poe had a dark and morbid imagination. His capacity for suspense and shock has never been rivaled. He had a unique art of creating nameless fear, fear that makes the reader ache for, and yet shrink from explanation. Fear that alternately torments and numbs the mind, the fear that comes from the dark of nowhere, the fear that will never go away. Here are four of the greatest stories by the master of the macabre, told, with sparing but telling dramatic effects, by Edgar Lustgarten in coolly terrifying style. You can find the following Poe tales in this program: "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Cask of Amontillado", "Ligea", and "Berenice".

Edgar Allan Poe was one of the most original writers in the history of American letters, a genius who was tragically misunderstood in his lifetime. He was a seminal figure in the development of science fiction and the detective story, and exerted a great influence on Dostoyevsky, Arthur Conan Doyle, Jules Verne, and Charles Baudelaire, who championed him long before Poe was appreciated in his own country. Baudelaire's enthusiasm brought Poe a wide audience in Europe, and his writing came to have enormous importance for modern French literature. This edition includes his most well-known works--"The Raven," "The Pit and the Pendulum," "Annabel Lee," "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Murders in the Rue Morgue"--as well as less-familiar stories, poems, and essays.

-Special Edition- This precious and cared edition includes the ghostly illustrations created by William Heath Robinson, in 1900, for the Anglo-Saxon edition of Doubleday, Page & Co (New York) of the book of Poe's Tales.Today talking about Edgar Allan Poe is talking about a teacher. A teacher of the strange; one of the most famous American writers of Romanticism.Every day more people discover it, while others rush to rediscover it. His texts provoke an irresistible attraction. In them we find talking crows, spirits of dead people and living people who seem dead. Shadows, destruction, nostalgia and love. In a way, the main character that inspired his work was himself."My life has been whim, drive, passion, longing for loneliness, mockery of the things of this world," he wrote. His misfit existence was at times as chilling as the horror texts he wrote. Poe's poetry is considered at a high level as his prose where woman, death and love flow as tragedy.“Poe has created a special, different genre, which comes only from himself, and which he took away when he died the secret. He can be called Master of the School of the Strange, for he has pushed back the limits of the impossible. ”- Jules Verne, Musée des familles, 1864
