Hop-Frog o los ocho orangutanes encadenados, también conocido como rana saltarina, es un relato corto de poe.

De Que Trata
El apodo que da título al cuento (Hop-Frog, traducible por "rana saltarina") corresponde al protagonista del mismo, un enano apartado de su patria que se convierte en bufón de un rey muy aficionado a las bromas. El bufón acaba vengándose del rey y sus cortesanos después de que éstos ofendiesen a su amada Trippetta, también enana. Para ello consigue que el rey y sus cortesanos se disfracen de orangutanes en una mascarada y se encadenen unos a otros. Delante de todos los invitados, Hop-Frog asesina a sus enemigos izándolos del suelo a gran altura mediante un gancho que sujeta las cadenas y prendiendo entonces fuego a sus disfraces; luego escapa con Trippetta. Se ha sugerido que Poe escribió la historia como una forma de venganza literaria contra la escritora Elizabeth F. Ellet y varias otras personas.

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.
