Description

Part of a new six-volume series of the best in classic horror, selected by award-winning director Guillermo del Toro

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.

Edgar Allan Poe (1809 - 49), was born in Boston, USA. He was a short-story writer, editor and literary critic, and is considered part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor the detective-fiction genre.

Fantastisch 🖤

Mir war nach einer kurzen, düsteren Geschichte von Edgar Allan Poe und vom Raben habe ich schon so viel gehört. Es ist ja total schwer, so klassische, alte Literatur zu bewerten aber mich hat es total angesprochen, richtig gut 😍

Das Meisterwerk

Meiner Meinung nach,das Meisterwerk von Mr Poe. Der Schreibstil ist kompliziert, aber seiner Zeit gerecht. Dennoch liebe ich die Melancholie zwischen den Zeilen. Edgar Allan Poe war seiner Zeit voraus und verdient viel mehr Anerkennung

Nicht so meins, aber objektiv betrachtet ist der Rabe ein solides Werk

Poe's berühmtestes Gedicht, bereichert durch seinen Essay "Die Methode der Kompositon" und einem umfangreichen, analytischen Nachwort, das Einblicke in Poe's Psyche und Interpretation seines Werks zulässt. Ungeheuer interessant!

Also, das Gedicht der Rabe war ganz unterhaltsam, dieses Essay über die Komposition voller selbstlob und schwer zu lesen, und der Nachtrag zu beiden werken war einfach nur ein ´blabla´. War nicht nötig zu lesen. Daher empfehlung: Das gedicht findet man auch online, mehrwert hatten die anderen texte für mich nicht.

I think many just know the poetry. It is fantastic written! "Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door. With such a Name as 'Nevermore'. In most books other people write about their theory, how they actually think about it. I bet you know what I mean. But in this one there was a new story. Lynn Cullen wrote of a woman in 1845. Many month ago, in January, a man named Poe released The Raben - a very popular poem. Frances had to write a similar story. A very dark one, none with flowers - like she wanted. There are just a few chapters but it seems very interesting.
