El Cuervo

by Edgar Allan Poe

Overview

El cuervo de Allan Poe, publicado por primera vez en 1845, es uno de los poemas más famosos de la lengua inglesa, y famosa es también su versión al castellano. Ambientado con una aureola sobrenatural, el poema -muy narrativo, se lee casi como un cuento- narra la visita de un cuervo al hogar de un amante en horas bajas que llora la pérdida de su amada Leonora y de la senda que emprende hacia la locura. Esta obra está inspirada en el cuervo hablador de la novela de Charles Dickens Barnaby Rudge. Este poema le dio a Edgar Allan Poe reconocimiento mundial, y desde entonces se ha venido millones de copias en diferentes idiomas.

About the Author

Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) was orphaned at the age of three and adopted by a wealthy Virginia family with whom he had a troubled relationship. He excelled in his studies of language and literature at school, and self-published his first book, Tamerlane and Other Poems, in 1827. In 1830, Poe embarked on a career as a writer and began contributing reviews and essays to popular periodicals. He also wrote sketches and short fiction, and in 1833 published his only completed novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. Over the next five years he established himself as a master of the short story form through the publication of "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Masque of the Red Death," "The Tell-Tale Heart," and other well–known works. In 1841, he wrote "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," generally considered the first modern detective story. The publication of The Raven and Other Poems in 1845 brought him additional fame as a poet.
