Download or read book Nevermore written by Karen Lange and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nevermore brings one of America’s most enigmatic writers to the attention of a new generation of children. This intriguing photobiography examines the life and times of the author and poet who would have a huge influence on future generations of writers, poets, artists, and even songwriters. Poe pioneered the psychological horror story, the detective story, and the emerging genre of science fiction. Through his dark tales and unforgettable verse, as well as his literary criticism, he made major contributions to the development of the modern short story and modern poetry in America. Thanks to the translations of the French writer Charles Baudelaire, Poe also gained a wide audience throughout Europe. His work influenced not only writers, but also avant-garde artists, who saw in him a kindred soul. Karen Lange’s gripping narrative combines with the book’s vivid illustrations of Poe’s various haunts to create an atmospheric account of America’s most famous Romantic writer. The story shifts from his birth in Boston to Richmond, from Hampton Roads to Philadelphia, from New York City to his mysterious death in Baltimore. Nevermore is a rich appreciation of an American master, whose macabre tales of mystery took shape in tandem with his own strange and ultimately tragic life story.
Download or read book Tomb or Womb The Freudian Approach to Live Burial in Edgar Allan Poe s The Fall of the House of Usher and The Premature Burial written by Gaj Tomas and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2011-08-15 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: A, University of Graz, language: English, abstract: There is a certain clever rhetoric from the buried protagonist in the introduction ―The Premature Burial‖, Edgar Allan Poe‘s tale: ―The boundaries which divide Life from Death, are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and the other begins?― (Poe 322), as he finds himself ―buried‖ in what he believes to be a coffin, as the story starts to intrigue us with one of the most terrifying and arguably uncanny experiences – live burial. The narrator is obsessed, a walking ―dead man‖, who eventually saves himself from the terrifying experience and exaggerated fear, but not from the uncanny feeling. It is as much dreadful as when we as readers perceive the buried-alive Lady Madeline Usher breaking the vault steel door of her coffin, uttering eerie sounds and appearing bloody at her brother Roderick‘s door in Poe‘s even more gruesome tale, ―The Fall of the House of Usher‖. The protagonists too are quite different, as are the representations of the motive of live burial in both stories – one hand we deal with, as this essay will try and prove, an evident incestuous relationship and perhaps Roderick‘s certain repressed wishes, and on the other hand the exaggerated, almost satiric general fear of a seemingly cataleptic state and death.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Carvington worked countless hours down in his laboratory trying to perfect the greatest breakthrough in medical history. Most of his subjects were very unhealthy and barely made it through Dr. Carvington's experiments. Dr. Carvington wasn't about to give up his work on any poor useless specimen that meant absolutely nothing to him in a personal way. Dr. Carvington must have seen half a dozen specimens before the right one came along. There stood at the doorway a dashing young man with blonde hair and blue eyes. Dr.Carvington's daughter Priscilla answered the door and was blown away at how handsome the young man was. Priscilla said, "May I help you?" "Yes, as a matter of fact, you can. I'm here to see Dr. Carvington. I answered an ad in the local newspaper about needing an assistant in some of his experiments," said the young man. "I didn't catch your name," said Priscilla. "If you must know my name is Pierre." "Well, Pierre my name is Priscilla I'm Dr.Carvington's daughter." "I didn't know the doctor had such a beautiful daughter," said Pierre. "Thank you, kind sir. Now if you'll follow me, I'll take you to see my father," said Priscilla. Pierre and Priscilla couldn't take their eyes off each other. As they were headed down the steps to the laboratory Priscilla held Pierre's hand and asked him if he had a girlfriend. Pierre said, "No, it's been a long time since I've been in any kind of relationship." "I would like to be your girlfriend if you like," said a blushing Priscilla. "I would like that very much Priscilla," said a quiet-spoken Pierre. "Well here we are, this is my father's laboratory. What do you think?" said Priscilla. "This is a nice setup you got here, Dr. Carvington," said Pierre. "I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself," said Pierre. "My name is Pierre. I answered your ad in the newspaper about the need for an assistant." "Nice to meet you Pierre when can you start?" said Dr. Carvington. "I'm ready now," said Pierre. "Priscilla you run along now Pierre and I have a lot of work to do." "Okay, Father, I'll fix you and Pierre a nice meal for tonight. Does 7:00 pm sound ok?" said Priscilla. "Yes, that sounds great," said Dr. Carvington. "Pierre why did you apply to my ad in the newspaper?" said Dr. Carvington. "Well Dr. Carvington my mother has been very ill and the doctor bills have been piling up and I've always dreamed of working for a great doctor such as yourself," said Pierre. "I believe you'll like working with me because I'm working on a scientific breakthrough in the medical field. Does that sound exciting or not to you Pierre?" said Dr. Carvington. "Sure does Dr. Carvington," said Pierre. "Pierre there's going to be times when the experiment might fail. If anything should go wrong and the patient dies there is a cemetery about a hundred yards in back of my laboratory where they will be buried." "Each patient has to sign a waiver form stating that Dr. Carvington will not be held responsible for anything that goes wrong, including death. I've already buried half a dozen bodies in the cemetery behind my laboratory," said Dr. Carvington. "Dr. Carvington what kind of experiments are you working on?" said Pierre. "Pierre, What I'm about to tell you don't leave this room. Do you understand?" "Yes, Dr. Carvington, I do understand. I won't tell a soul," said Pierre. "Pierre, what I'm about to tell you, you're going to think I'm mad but I tell you this will be a breakthrough that will bring me the notoriety and the respect of the medical field," said Dr. Carvington.
