About this deal

I so much enjoy reading anything by him. Every single time, I'm blown away. However, even with an author I enjoy so much, I do have a favourite and that's the Raven.

Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe (Barnes The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe (Barnes

o chestie evidenţiată frumos: deşi naraţiune subiectivă, la persoană I, naratorul este oarecum personaj secundar (ceea ce nu e de mirare, de altfel), în schimb se proiectează ca o minte deloc sclipitoare pe lângă Auguste Dupin, un spirit grozav de pragmatic, dar al cărui pragmatism analitic îşi are obârşia în latura singurătăţii (sunt acei oameni care studiază lucrurile din jurul lor cu o aptitudine uluitoare, deprinsă în urma meditaţiei în singurătate): "Una dintre ciudăţeniile prietenului meu era acea dragoste a lui pentru noapte." Poe pursues the counter-intuitive in “The Purloined Letter”, the facts of which Dupin describes as “simple and odd”, as well as a mystery that is “a little too plain, a little too self-evident”. We continued our route in search of the Amontillado. We passed through a range of low arches, descended, passed on, and descending again, arrived at a deep crypt, in which the foulness of the air caused our flambeaux rather to glow than flame.Fără doar şi poate, scrierea a stârnit vâlvă în epocă, descriind amănunţit (şi ştiinţific) originea balonului. Astăzi n-ar mai avea efectul scontat The Tell-Tale Heart is the scariest of Poe's horror stories in my opinion. Poe effectively showcases the classic symptoms and behaviors of paranoia-induced insanity, a symptom that many violent serial killers display. Poe also shows an impressive knowledge and understanding of a deranged criminal's mind in a time when not too much was known about human psychology. In contrast, in “Von Kempelen and His Discovery”, the narrator detects that a paragraph in a newspaper detailing an invention is “apocryphal, principally upon its manner. It does not look true.” Ironically, what allows the narrator to come to this conclusion is an excess of particularity, which is not customary.

In contrast, the narrator of “Morella” longs for the death of his eponymous wife, who eventually dies while giving birth to a daughter with the same name and characteristics. It is reported that Poe's mood swings and grandiose opinion of himself could render him insufferable to others. In life, he seems more like the dinner guest that you hope is placed at the far end of the table so that you may hear his comments, but not become his target.

Most of the works collected here were short stories, which he is credited with having pioneered/popularized. He is best known for his psychological horror tales, which are by far his most outstanding works. I was let down by a lot of the short stories included, and didn't find very many new favorites.

There are a few techniques that Poe really works with that help make his stories so unsettling or successful. Poe was a believer in what has been termed Poe’s Single Effect Theory, which is drawn from his review of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Twice-Told Tales: He is credited with writing the first detective story with The Murders in the Rue Morgue. The same main character recurs in The Mystery of Marie Roget and The Purloined Letter, which were just okay. I've never liked the genre, and while I can appreciate it as the pioneering work that it is, those kind of tales are absolutely not my cup of tea.

I really enjoyed these creepy, gothic, and thrilling short stories. Edgar Allan Poe really was original and ahead of his time in writing. The storytelling and his ability to paint a picture with words is fantastic. These stories are tales of tragedy, woe, despair, and typically do not end well. All the stories are creative and enjoyable. Some that stood out to me were the:

The Raven is a macabre poem depicting a man driven to excruciating loneliness and grief from being unable to let go of the memories of his dead lover Lenore. It's a tragic tale full of death and sorrow, a tale of how one's unwillingness to let go of dark memories and past tragedies will only push them to the edge of insanity.
