Overview

Edgar Allan Poe è stato uno dei più grandi geni creativi della letteratura statunitense. Ancora oggi viene considerato l'iniziatore del racconto poliziesco, della letteratura dell'orrore e del giallo psicologico. Divenne rapidamente un’icona grazie all’immediata identificazione tra la sua vita travagliata e i protagonisti dei suoi racconti.
Poe ha avuto una vita breve e maledetta. Le ristrettezze economiche furono una costante della sua esistenza, passata a girovagare tra una città e l’altra alla costante ricerca di lavoro, perseguitato dai demoni del gioco e, soprattutto, dell’alcool.
Questa antologia racchiude alcuni dei suoi capolavori horror più conosciuti e acclamati: La verità sul caso di mister Valdemar, Lo scarabeo d’oro, Il pozzo e il pendolo, Morella, Manoscritto trovato in una bottiglia, Ligeia, Hop-Frog, Il gatto nero, Una discesa nel Maelstrom, I delitti della Rue Morgue.

About the Author

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.
