Böcker av Edgar Allan Poe

Arthur Gordon Pym är en äventyrslysten ung man som tillsammans med sin bäste vän Augustus Barnard ger sig ut på havet i en segelbåt. Stämningen är uppsluppen och spriten flödar. Men snart närmar sig en storm och Pym måste själv styra dem igenom den eftersom Augustus ligger avsvimmad. Detta är början på en lång resa där de båda unga männen hoppar från båt till båt, från kallt vatten till varmare oceaner; upplever kannibalism, mord, myteri och andra oförutsedda situationer.Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) var en amerikansk poet, novellist, redaktör och litteraturkritiker. Poe anses vara starkt bidragande till framväxten av science fiction-genren samt grundaren av detektivromanen. Ett av hans mest framgångsrika verk är dikten "Korpen" som blev en omedelbar succé när den publicerades 1845.

The Philosophy of Composition (1846) is an essay by Edgar Allan Poe. Recognized as a foundational figure of nineteenth century fiction, Poe has inspired generations of readers and writers with his craftsmanship and taste for tragedy and terror. His brief but meteoric career shaped the trajectory of American literature forever, forming a legacy without which science fiction, horror, and detective writing would surely be shells of themselves. Published only three years before his untimely death, the essay appeared in an April 1846 issue of Graham¿s American Monthly Magazine of Literature and Art, whose editor had previously made the mistake of turning down ¿The Raven.¿ Both influential and controversial, Poe¿s essay on craft was intended as a dismissal of the myth of spontaneous art, arguing instead that a true artist depends upon attention to detail and adherence to a logical creative process. Using his own poetic masterpiece as an example, Poe claims that the writer must maintain ¿unity of effect¿ throughout the work in order to inspire the intended emotional response in the reader. Once this element has been set in place, the writer may proceed with the more technical aspects of composition, such as characters, setting, and plot. Although Poe¿s essay drew the ire of Anglo-American poet T. S. Eliot, it was immensely popular among Poe¿s Francophone audience and served as inspiration for such artists as Maurice Ravel and Charles Baudelaire. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Edgar Allan Poe¿s The Philosophy of Composition is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.

The present edition contains a large selection of his works in verse as well as a selection of Poe's essays on poetical composition and prosody, revealing that poetry was at the core of the American master's vision of literature

El ensayo muestra la convicción de Poe de que una obra de ficción ha de ser escrita únicamente después de que el autor haya decidido, en primer lugar, cuál va a ser su desenlace y cuál la respuesta emocional o "efecto" que pretende causar en el lector. Sólo una vez que tales términos hayan sido determinados, pueden decidirse los demás asuntos pertinentes a la composición del trabajo, incluyendo, por ejemplo, el tema, el ambiente, los personajes, el conflicto y el argumento.

Two terrifying books bound together in one striking tête-bêche volume: a brand new anthology of morbid, macabre and mysterious masterworks, Shadows Against the Dark: Collected Tales of Horror, is paired with Henry James's definitive Gothic classic The Turn of the Screw.A stranger in a rowboat approaches a schooner in the blackness of night to beg for food. The residents of a secluded town whisper stories about a headless horseman. A poor Hawaiian is convinced to purchase a bottle that contains a being powerful enough to grant any wish. These unsettling stories and more are compiled together for the first time in Shadows Against the Dark: Collected Tales of Horror, edited and with an introduction by C.S.R. Calloway.A governess, her two child charges, and a house haunted by memories and-perhaps-something much more malevolent. The story has been retold countless times, but never as effectively as in its original form. The Turn of the Screw remains frightening over a century after its initial publication, expertly crafted to create fear in what is explicitly on the page and what is left untold.DOUBLE BOOKED®: Shadows Against the Dark: Collected Tales of Horror / The Turn of the Screw combines renowned authors Algernon Blackwood, William Hope Hodgson, Washington Irving, W. W. Jacobs, Henry James, Edgar Allan Poe, and Robert Louis Stevenson together in one stylish "reversible" paperback.

Behold: a selection of short stories from the master of the macabre, Edgar Allen Poe.
