Maquiavélico, terrorífico, repugnante, horroroso… estas son pocos ejemplos de cómo podríamos describir las novelas de Edgar Allan Poe, donde, con aire de angustia, nos entrega obras en las que predomina sólo una cosa: la locura. En esta pequeña recopilación, podemos encontrar desde los relatos más conocidos, como El gato, negro, El cuervo y El corazón delator, acompañados de algunos no tan renombrados, pero con el mismo objetivo en común: no dejarnos dormir por las noches. Algo destacable en la obra de Poe, es que, por su forma de escribir, de terror y ciencia ficción, dio camino a muchos otros famosos escritores, como Lovecraft, Julio Verne, entre otros. La vida de Poe, así como sus historias, emanaba tragedia; al haber perdido a sus dos padres cuando sólo era un niño, para después perder a su esposa en corta edad. Tirado a los vicios, Poe muere en 1849, por un ataque cerebral.

Quotes from the book:
"Years of love have been forgot, In the hatred of a minute."
"Men have called me mad; but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence– whether much that is glorious– whether all that is profound– does not spring from disease of thought– from moods of mind exalted at the expense of the general intellect."
"Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?"
Readers' reviews:
"Definitely not light reading, but perfect for the fall and winter. Very dark and poetic. Great stories, and each story is just short enough to maintain attention span. I recommend this to anyone who appreciates a challenging read." (Bailey Jane, goodreads.com)
"Edgar Allan Poe, is best known for the Raven, still the greatest and most famous American poem ever written." (Henry Avila, goodreads.com)
"Poe is, whatever you may have gleaned about him from cheap movies and comic book adaptations, a thoroughly top-notch writer in the Romantic tradition." (David, goodreads.com)

Единственный законченный роман Эдгара Аллана По, написанный в 1838 году, впервые был представлен русскому читателю в литературном журнале Ф. М. Достоевского «Время» в 1861 году. На сегодняшний день существует около десяти официальных русских переводов этого загадочного, полного приключений и мистики произведения. В данном издании публикуется версия Константина Дмитриевича Бальмонта – выдающегося поэта-символиста Серебряного века. Несмотря на то что его переводу исполнилось уже более ста лет, он остается одним из наиболее точных и близких к оригинальному тексту. «Повествование Артура Гордона Пима из Нантакета» – захватывающий и потрясающий воображение роман. По стилистике он немного отличается от остального наследия Эдгара По. И тем не менее, читая его, понимаешь, что никто другой не смог бы написать подобное. © Storysidе
