Book excerpt: La aportación de Edgar Allan Poe a la ficción norteamericana fue crucial en un momento en el que la imaginación en la creación novelística se había puesto en tela de juicio. Su obra, variada, irregular y original, se ajustó, tanto en prosa como en poesía, a los criterios estéticos más innovadores. El presente volumen incluye trece relatos representativos de la capacidad de Poe para describir las sensaciones del individuo al borde de la locura, la obsesión por explorar los contornos irracionales de la mente, la tortura mental de sus héroes solitarios y alienados, la enigmática y macabra presentación de una espiritualidad suspendida del cuerpo humano.

Download or read book The Works of Edgar Allan Poe Volume 5 written by Edgar Allan Poe and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-26 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About Author 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[3] 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.Poe's literary career began in 1827 with the release of 50 copies of Tamerlane and Other Poems credited only to "a Bostonian", a collection of early poems that received virtually no attention. In December 1829, Poe released Al Aaraaf, Tamerlane, and Minor Poems in Baltimore before delving into short stories for the first time with "Metzengerstein" in 1832.His most successful and most widely read prose during his lifetime was "The Gold-Bug", which earned him a $100 prize, the most money he received for a single work. One of his most important works, "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", was published in 1841 and is today considered the first modern detective story.Poe called it a "tale of ratiocination".Poe became a household name with the publication of "The Raven" in 1845, though it was not a financial success. The publishing industry at the time was a difficult career choice and much of Poe's work was written using themes specifically catered for mass market tastes.
Download or read book Edgar Allan Poe Poetry Tales LOA 19 written by Edgar Allan Poe and published by Library of America. This book was released on 1984-08-15 with total page 1440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Library of America presents “the first truly dependable collection of Poe’s poetry and tales”—featuring well-known works like ‘The Raven’ and ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’, plus a selection of rarely published writings (New York Review of Books). Edgar Allan Poe’s poetry is famous both for the musicality of “To Helen” and “The City in the Sea” and for the hypnotic, incantatory rhythms of “The Raven” and “Ulalume.” “The Fall of the House of Usher” and “The Cask of Amontillado” show his mastery of Gothic horror; “The Pit and the Pendulum” is a classic of terror and suspense. Poe invented the modern detective story in “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” and developed the form of science fiction that was to influence, among others, Jules Verne and Thomas Pynchon. Poe was also adept at the humorous sketch of playful jeu d'esprit, such as “X-ing a Paragraph” or “Never Bet the Devil Your Head.” All his stories reveal his high regard for technical proficiency and for what he called “rationation.” Poe’s fugitive early poems, stories rarely collected (such as “Bon-Bon,” “King Pest,” “Mystification,” and “The Duc De L'Omelette”), his only attempt at drama, “Politian”—these and much more are included in this comprehensive collection, presented chronologically to show Poe’s development toward Eureka: A Prose Poem, his culminating vision of an indeterminate universe, printed here for the first time as Poe revised it and intended it should stand. A special feature of this volume is the care taken to select an authoritative text of each work. The printing and publishing history of every item has been investigated in order to choose a version that incorporates all of Poe’s own revisions without reproducing the errors or changes introduced by later editors. Here, then, is one of America’s and the world's most disturbing, powerful, and inventive writers. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation’s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America’s best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.

Book excerpt: Part of a new six-volume series of the best in classic horror, selected by Academy Award-winning director of The Shape of Water Guillermo del Toro Filmmaker and longtime horror literature fan Guillermo del Toro serves as the curator for the Penguin Horror series, a new collection of classic tales and poems by masters of the genre. Included here are some of del Toro’s favorites, from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Ray Russell’s short story “Sardonicus,” considered by Stephen King to be “perhaps the finest example of the modern Gothic ever written,” to Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House and stories by Ray Bradbury, Joyce Carol Oates, Ted Klein, and Robert E. Howard. Featuring original cover art by Penguin Art Director Paul Buckley, these stunningly creepy deluxe hardcovers will be perfect additions to the shelves of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and paranormal aficionados everywhere. The Raven The Raven: Tales and Poems is a landmark new anthology of Poe’s work, which defied convention, shocked readers, and confounded critics. This selection of Poe’s writings demonstrates the astonishing power and imagination with which he probed the darkest corners of the human mind. “The Fall of the House of Usher” describes the final hours of a family tormented by tragedy and the legacy of the past. In “The Tell Tale Heart,” a murderer's insane delusions threaten to betray him, while stories such as “The Pit and the Pendulum” and “The Cask of Amontillado” explore extreme states of decadence, fear and hate. The title narrative poem, maybe Poe’s most famous work, follows a man’s terrifying descent into madness after the loss of a lover.

Download or read book Cinco cuentos de mujeres written by Edgar Allan Poe and published by Editorial Sirpus. This book was released on 2001 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Edgar Allan Poe nos legó su obra, no su vida. Pero la ficción, en su caso, resulta más reveladora que la realidad. Si nos atenemos al sentimiento que subyace en las cómicas o truculentas narraciones aquí reunidas, extraeremos un retrato a pluma, nunca mejor dicho, del propio autor y algunas siluetas a pincel y tinta de almas extraviadas bajo nombres de mujer. No están todas. Pero he querido reservar a la Signora Psyque Zenobia el insólito privilegio de abrir y cerrar este volumen con dos atípicos cuentos. El primero, «Cómo escribir un artículo a la manera de Blackwood», aparentemente se trata de una sátira a la revista escocesa Blackwood. Lo realmente extraordinario es que Poe, ridiculizándose a sí mismo con un sentido del humor que inexplicablemente Julio Cortázar pone en solfa, juega a desvelarnos desopilantes trucos literarios para dotar de intensidad y trascendencia a la narración. La sombría y fantasmal Edimburgo como emblemático escenario, por donde Psyque Zenobia deambula en busca de inspiración, con su perrita Diana y su criado negro Pompeyo, a través de los delirantes renglones del último cuento, «Una malaventura», escrito con desfachatez posmoderna, que bien podría constituir un adecuado epílogo y una despiadada respuesta a la pregunta de ¿Qué lugar ocupa la mujer en los cuentos de Poe?... Gonzalo Suárez. Autor: Edgar Poe nació en Boston el 19 de enero de 1809 era hijo de actores ambulantes, y cuando se quedó huérfano fue adoptado por la familia Allan. Este hecho cambió su trayectoria vital y le proporcionó el acceso a la cultura a la vez que una vida de relaciones atormentadas. La obra de Edgar Allan Poe representa la transformación del relato breve, género que a partir de él alcanza una dimensión literaria nueva. Cultivó también el ensayo literario y la poesía, y su figura marca de forma indeleble la literatura posterior. El culto a Poe se inició en Francia a mediados del siglo XIX. Los simbolistas franceses le consideraron su maestro; Baudelaire tradujo su obra al francés, y Mallarmé —que le dedicó uno de sus más bellos sonetos— le consideró “el príncipe espiritual de la época”. Vivió siempre acosado por la pobreza y obligado por ella a ejecutar tareas que malgastaban su energía creadora. Murió en Baltimore el 7 de octubre de 1849.
