Other editions of book Tales. Edgar Allan Poe

-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
