La caida de la Casa Usher

Poe, Edgar Allan — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT

The Fall of the House of Usher is the quintessential gothic tale: a haunted house, a gloomy landscape, two twin brothers, a mysterious illness. All the elements of the genre are easily identifiable, and yet part of the terror this story inspires is due to its vagueness; we cannot say for sure where in the world or exactly when the story takes place. We are alone with the narrator in this haunted space, and neither we nor the narrator know why. First published in 1839, it is one of Poe's works preferred by critics and the one that the author himself considered the most successful that he had written.

The Raven

Poe, Edgar Allan — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT

The title work in this collection of twelve short stories and poems is widely regarded as the most famous of Edgar Allan Poe's writings. This unsettling tale in verse tells of a man's slow descent into madness as he mourns the loss of his lover. The mysterious visit of a talking raven that utters only one word sparks the man's steady decline. Poe, the inventor of the modern detective story, was an expert at weaving suspense and horror into tales that thrill and chill.

The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket

Allan Poe, Edgar — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT

When Edgar Allan Poe’s only novella was first published in 1838, the reviews were slow in coming and dismissive when they arrived. The book’s failure left Poe in such dire financial straits that he even accepted a job at one of the magazines that had panned it. But The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket has since become one of his most influential works: Baudelaire translated it, Paul Theroux read it out loud to Jorge Luis Borges, Jules Verne wrote a sequel to it, H. P. Lovecraft drew on it in creating his own tales of the Antarctic . . .
Ostensibly, it’s a classic adventure story about a young boy who runs away to sea and encounters all the classic scenarios: mutinies, storms, shipwrecks, ravenous sharks, hostile natives. And Poe drew on many contemporary accounts of exploration in the South Seas to give his story a sense of verisimilitude.
But there are far deeper currents at work in the book than mere adventure: elements of the supernatural as they near the South Pole, evocations of the protagonists’ experiences at sea that rival Poe’s best tales of horror, and a disturbing ending that continues to stir debate.
