This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edgar Allan Poe and C. Auguste Dupin strive unravel a mystery involving old enemies, lost soul-mates, ornithomancy, and the legendary jewel of Peru. Philadelphia, 1844. As violent tensions escalate between nativists and recent Irish immigrants, Edgar Allan Poe’s fears for the safety of his wife, Virginia, and mother-in-law, Muddy, are compounded when he receives a parcel of mummified bird parts. Has his nemesis returned to settle an old score? Just as odd is the arrival of Helena Loddiges, a young heiress who demands Poe’s help to discover why her lover died at the city’s docks on his return from an expedition to Peru. Poe is skeptical of her claims of having received messages from birds—and visitations from her lover’s ghost—but when Miss Loddiges is kidnapped, he and his friend C. Auguste Dupin must unravel a mystery involving old enemies, lost soul-mates, ornithomancy, and the legendary jewel of Peru.

Book excerpt: I am-that is to say I was-a great man; but I am neither the author of Junius nor the man in themask; for my name, I believe, is Robert Jones, and I was born somewhere in the city of Fum-Fudge.The first action of my life was the taking hold of my nose with both hands. My mother saw thisand called me a genius-my father wept for joy and presented me with a treatise on Nosology. ThisI mastered before I was breeched.I now began to feel my way in the science, and soon came to understand that, provided a manhad a nose sufficiently conspicuous, he might, by merely following it, arrive at a Lionship. But myattention was not confined to theories alone. Every morning I gave my proboscis a couple of pullsand swallowed a half dozen of drams.When I came of age my father asked me, one day, if I would step with him into his study."My son," said he, when we were seated, "what is the chief end of your existence?""My father," I answered, "it is the study of Nosology.""And what, Robert," he inquired, "is Nosology?""Sir," I said, "it is the science of Noses.""And can you tell me," he demanded, "what is the meaning of a nose?""A nose, my father;" I replied, greatly softened, "has been variously defined by about a thousanddifferent authors." [Here I pulled out my watch.] "It is now noon or thereabouts-we shall havetime enough to get through with them all before midnight. To commence then: -The nose, according to Bartholinus, is that protuberance-that bump-that excrescence-that-""Will do, Robert," interrupted the good old gentleman. "I am thunderstruck at the extent of yourinformation-I am positively-upon my soul." [Here he closed his eyes and placed his hand uponhis heart.] "Come here!" [Here he took me by the arm.] "Your education may now be considered asfinished-it is high time you should scuffle for yourself-and you cannot do a better thing thanmerely follow your nose-so-so-so-" [Here he kicked me downstairs and out of the door.]-"so get out of my house, and God bless you!"As I felt within me the divine afflatus, I considered this accident rather fortunate than otherwise. Iresolved to be guided by the paternal advice. I determined to follow my nose. I gave it a pull or twoupon the spot, and wrote a pamphlet on Nosology forthwit

Download or read book Poe written by Peter Ackroyd and published by Nan A. Talese. This book was released on 2009-01-20 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gothic, mysterious, theatrical, fatally flawed, and dazzling, the life of Edgar Allan Poe, one of America’s greatest and most versatile writers, is the ideal subject for Peter Ackroyd. Poe wrote lyrical poetry and macabre psychological melodramas; invented the first fictional detective; and produced pioneering works of science fiction and fantasy. His innovative style, images, and themes had a tremendous impact on European romanticism, symbolism, and surrealism, and continue to influence writers today. In this essential addition to his canon of acclaimed biographies, Peter Ackroyd explores Poe’s literary accomplishments and legacy against the background of his erratic, dramatic, and sometimes sordid life. Ackroyd chronicles Poe’s difficult childhood, his bumpy academic and military careers, and his complex relationships with women, including his marriage to his thirteen-year-old cousin. He describes Poe’s much-written-about problems with gambling and alcohol with sympathy and insight, showing their connections to Poe’s childhood and the trials, as well as the triumphs, of his adult life. Ackroyd’s thoughtful, perceptive examinations of some of Poe’s most famous works shed new light on these classics and on the troubled and brilliant genius who created them.
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Edgar Allan Poe written by J. Gerald Kennedy and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 776 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No American author of the early 19th century enjoys a larger international audience than Edgar Allan Poe. Widely translated, read, and studied, he occupies an iconic place in global culture. Such acclaim would have gratified Poe, who deliberately wrote for "the world at large" and mocked the provincialism of strictly nationalistic themes. Partly for this reason, early literary historians cast Poe as an outsider, regarding his dark fantasies as extraneous to American life and experience. Only in the 20th century did Poe finally gain a prominent place in the national canon. Changing critical approaches have deepened our understanding of Poe's complexity and revealed an author who defies easy classification. New models of interpretation have excited fresh debates about his essential genius, his subversive imagination, his cultural insight, and his ultimate impact, urging an expansive reconsideration of his literary achievement. Edited by leading experts J. Gerald Kennedy and Scott Peeples, this volume presents a sweeping reexamination of Poe's work. Forty-five distinguished scholars address Poe's troubled life and checkered career as a "magazinist," his poetry and prose, and his reviews, essays, opinions, and marginalia. The chapters provide fresh insights into Poe's lasting impact on subsequent literature, music, art, comics, and film and illuminate his radical conception of the universe, science, and the human mind. Wide-ranging and thought-provoking, this Handbook reveals a thoroughly modern Poe, whose timeless fables of peril and loss will continue to attract new generations of readers and scholars.
