Book excerpt: Todos los relatos ordenados cronológicamente por primera vez en castellano. Con Poe nacería el terror como género, fruto de sus obsesiones y de su corta vida errante. Transmutó el gótico alemán utilizando las claves del Romanticismo, anticipándose un siglo a los miedos y a los deseos más íntimos del hombre moderno. Las maldiciones ancestrales, las fuerzas ingentes y desatadas de la naturaleza, son elementos con los que el autor tratará de contagiar al lector para enfrentarlo al pavor de sus miedos más profundos. Edgar Allan Poe nos lega una obra inmortal, catálogo de sus propios terrores, pero muestra, además, el fino hilo que separa la realidad de la locura.

Download or read book Borges and the Politics of Form written by Jose Eduardo Gonzalez and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jorge Luis Borges-one of the most important Latin American writers-has also attained considerable international stature, and his work is commonly cited in a wide array of scholarship on contemporary fiction. Partly as a consequence of Borges' international identity, and partly because of a long-standing view in Borges criticism that his writing is principally concerned with abstract ideas, critics have been reluctant to address the question of politics in his writing Filling this critical gap, Gonzalez begins by rejecting the proposition that Borges withdraws from the "real," and provides a detailed analysis of the various political issues that Borges takes up in his essays and short stories. The author places particular emphasis on the turbulent questions that shaped Argentine social history during the period of Borges' output.

Download or read book The Mystery of Marie Rog t written by Edgar Allan Poe and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2020-10-05 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic detective short story shrouded in mystery, "Marie Rogêt" features Poe’s famour investigator C. Auguste Dupin trying to solve a murder case. Based upon an actual murder, the short story is an intricate narrative revolving around floating dead bodies, strange suicides, phials of poison, and the power of newspapers to solve the gruesome murder. Cumbersome and rather slow-paced, the story is also often labelled as Poe’s least successful among his detective works. On the other hand, it can easily be read as an episode from the CSI TV series, indulging in sneaky situations and hypothetical resolutions. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American poet, author, and literary critic. Most famous for his poetry, short stories, and tales of the supernatural, mysterious, and macabre, he is also regarded as the inventor of the detective genre and a contributor to the emergence of science fiction, dark romanticism, and weird fiction. His most famous works include "The Raven" (1945), "The Black Cat" (1943), and "The Gold-Bug" (1843).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mystery of Marie Roget (1842) is Edgar Allan Poe's second story featuring his philosophic amateur detective the Chevalier C. Auguste Dupin. This intellectual super-sleuth made his first appearance the year before in The Murders in the Rue Morgue and appeared for the last time in Poe's 1844 story, The Purloined Letter. Marie Roget is based on a real-life crime that took place in New York City in 1841 when the corpse of a young girl called Mary Rogers was found floating in the Hudson River. The original murder was never really solved - which is perhaps why Poe leaves his story technically 'unfinished'.
