About this deal

In “Eleonora”, memories of the narrator’s deceased love curse a subsequent relationship. “Ligeia” witnesses life after death, but still highlights the ephemerality of life and beauty, and the terrors of death. The narrator suffers doubly from his opium-induced dreams.

I knew that I had now fully recovered the use of my visual faculties - and yet it was dark - all dark - the intense and utter raylessness of the Night that endureth for evermore.” Un altul avea un braţ atât de lung încât putea să şadă la Damasc şi să scrie răvaş la Bagdad..." => Telegraful electric transmite ştirile instantaneu la orice distanţă, cel puţin pe pământ. The Masque of the Red Death is no story about plot or characters. It's a story about atmosphere, about mood, about the symbolisms of colorful descriptions. That's what Poe was able to write perfectly, and that's what I can recommend this story for.

The Portable Edgar Allan Poe" - A selection of Poe's most famous works, including poems, short stories, and critical essays. A list of films and television series, both directly and indirectly inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe.

It is interesting to see the power that Poe's writings hold over readers today when other writers with long narratives and little dialogue, such as Lovecraft, are considered difficult to read. Upon closer examination, though, it is easy to see the distinction. Many of the narrative writers were in love with writing forms and the richness of the English language. Poe inserted himself into his tales and poems and communicated the experience to us. Dacă Poe ar fi dezvoltat şi latura psihologică a personajului şi, prin urmare, ar fi făcut scrierea mai amplă, mai fluentă şi mai uşor de savurat, ar fi ieşit o capodoperă!E pentru prima dată când văd la Poe, pe lângă latura obscură, latura romantismului suferind, concentrarea pe eul propriu. În "Ligeia" prezintă melancolia neagră a unei iubiri pierdute din pricina sabiei morţii şi aura metafizică a dragostei. This collection of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories and poems is perhaps the most definitive that you are going to come across and it is the reason that I am satisfied with owning just this collection and nothing more. If I come across a nice looking Poe collection, I may consider purchasing it. I also own a collection of some of his short stories in an illustrated format, but I am from the mold that is satisfied with having one of a particular work in good quality. For what it is worth, this collection of Poe's works is completely satisfactory! O remarcă drăguţă: "Dacă există pe lume o tiranie deplină şi mai presus de oricare alta, e tirania minţii unui copil genial asupra tovarăşilor săi cu o minte mai puţin vioaie." Mi-e temă de meditaţie, căci mi-ar fi foarte lesne să înlocuiesc "copil" cu "om"... Even now, due to their narrative power and chilling macabre storylines, such tales as The Fall of the House of Usher, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Masque of the Red Death, The Murders in the Rue Morgue and many others remain unforgettable and matchless.

Search Tips

The Raven As a collection, this book is complete with his short stories and poems, the introduction provides a fascinating insight into Poe and there is a useful timeline for his works. My big criticism of this Advanced Reader Copy is that it is only available for the Adobe Digital Editions application or the new NetGalley app, both of which are impossible to read 'PDF' files using a smartphone or tablet, and are not available for the Kindle. I already own a complete set of works of Edgar Allen Poe so for the stories I could switch to that version and use a computer to read the pdf file for the Introduction and other material specific to this publication. Which somehow defeats the purpose. When divorced from his single-minded prosody, Poe's mastery of the language elegantly serves the needs of mood, characterization, and action. This is not always the case: his Ligeia retains his poetic narrowness, but his detective stories have a gentleness and wit found nowhere else in his oeuvre. Annabel Lee" - A hauntingly beautiful poem about the death of a young woman, believed to be inspired by Poe's wife Virginia.
