Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"This gorgeous volume is part of Rockport's Classics Reimagined series, which pairs contemporary illustrators with works of literature such as The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Grimm's Fairy Tales. Plunkert, co-founder of Hampden's Spur Design studio, tackles Poe with the same gusto that characterizes his work for clients ranging from The New York Times to the Baltimore Theatre Project. Plunkert's Dadaist sensibility injects new energy into Poe's stories, as evocative collages and bold imagery activate key narrative elements or reflect the overall mood of a particular piece. His artwork allows for a fresh reading of these familiar stories, because it doesn't shy from the aching humanity at their creative core. It serves as a reminder that these are, indeed, tales of mystery and imagination. -Baltimore magazine
