Edgar Allan Poe: Complete Tales and Poems
This single volume brings together all of Poe's stories and poems, and illuminates the diverse and multifaceted genius of one of the greatest and most influential figures in American literary history.
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)

Повествование Артура Гордона Пима из Нантакета
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
Von Geistern, Zombies und Unsterblichen
Vier Klassiker der viktorianischen Schauerliteratur, die bis heute zu den Lieblingen von Leseratten weltweit zählen: "Das Bildnis des Dorian Gray" – Die Geschichte des eitlen Dorian, der nicht altert, während sein Porträt nach und nach – zusammen mit seinen Verhaltensweisen – verrottet, ist Oscar Wildes einziger Roman. "Frankenstein oder Der moderne Prometheus" von Mary Shelley ist unzählige Male verfilmt worden, und gehört zu den beliebtesten Horrorbüchern aller Zeiten. Die Geschichte von Viktor Frankenstein und der Kreatur, die er erschafft, ist zeitlos. "Die Burg von Otranto" von Horace Walpole begründete erst die Gattung des Schauerromans. Die titelgebende Burg dient als Ort einer generationenübergreifenden Horrorgeschichte und des Verfalls einer Familie. "Die schwarze Katze", Edgar Allan Poes beliebte Kurzgeschichte, skizziert die Lebensgeschichte eines psychotischen Mörders – aus der Ich-Perspektive. Poe ist zwar Amerikaner, gilt aber für seinen Beitrag zur Schauerliteratur quasi als Ehren-Viktorianer.
