Inhaltsangabe

This book contains a fantastic collection of some of Edgar Allen Poe’s best and best known short stories, including: "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Black Cat", "The Mystery of Marie Roget", "The Spectacles", "The Pit and the Pendulum", "Diddling", "The Gold-Bug", "Mesmeric Revelation", "A tale of the Ragged Mountains", "The Oblong Box", "The Baloon-Hoax", and "The Premature Burial". This volume is highly recommended for those who enjoy tales of mystery and macabre, and would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf. Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) was an American author, editor, poet, and critic. Most famous for his stories of mystery and horror, he was one of the first American short story writers, and is widely considered to be the inventor of the detective fiction genre. Many antiquarian books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) is one of the most significant and singular writers in the history of American letters. He was a poet, a pioneer of science fiction, the father of the detective story, and a master of the macabre whom Nobel-prize winner Toni Morrison identified as a key to America's conflicted literary conscience. He died mysteriously in Baltimore at the age of forty, leaving behind a body of work that has influenced writers and artists such as Stéphane Mallarmé, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Jules Verne, H. G. Wells, Franz Kafka, Paul Klee, H. P. Lovecraft, Jorge Luis Borges, Stephen King, Tim Burton, Guillermo del Toro, and every crime writer to this day.
