eBooks di Edgar Allan Poe editi da A To Z Classics

Nato nel 1809 a Boston, negli Stati Uniti, da una coppia di attori, Edgar Poe rimase orfano di entrambi i genitori a soli due anni. Adottato da un mercante scozzese, il cui cognome era Allan, trascorse un'infanzia e una giovinezza molto infelici. Entrò in conflitto con il patrigno, che gli negò i mezzi per studiare all'università, e da quel contrasto prese origine l'abitudine di Poe di scrivere sempre abbreviato e puntato il suo secondo nome, Allan, impostogli dai genitori adottivi. Scoperta la sua vena letteraria, tentò il successo pubblicando libri di poesie, nei quali si rispecchiavano le molte insoddisfazioni della sua vita. Conobbe i primi successi con il racconto Manoscritto trovato in una bottiglia e con il romanzo Le avventure di Gordon Pym. Nel 1843 uscirono due racconti, Lo scarabeo d'oro e Gli assassini della via Morgue. Riconoscimenti maggiori, però, Poe non li ottenne negli Stati Uniti, ma in Europa. Morì nell'ottobre del 1845.

Edgar Allan Poe: Complete Tales and Poems: The Black Cat, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Raven, The Masque of the Red Death.... E-book. Formato EPUB Edgar Allan Poe   -  A To Z Classics, 2017  - 

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)

The works of American author Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) include many poems, short stories, and one novel. His fiction spans multiple genres, including horror fiction, adventure, science fiction, and detective fiction, a genre he is credited with inventing.These works are generally considered part of the Dark romanticism movement, a literary reaction to Transcendentalism.Poe's writing reflects his literary theories: he disagreed with didacticism and allegory.Meaning in literature, he said in his criticism, should be an undercurrent just beneath the surface; works whose meanings are too obvious cease to be art.Poe pursued originality in his works, and disliked proverbs.He often included elements of popular pseudosciences such as phrenology and physiognomy.His most recurring themes deal with questions of death, including its physical signs, the effects of decomposition, concerns of premature burial, the reanimation of the dead, and mourning. Though known as a masterly practitioner of Gothic fiction, Poe did not invent the genre; he was following a long-standing popular tradition.
