Edgar Allan Poe: Selected Tales - Poe, Edgar Allan 0.30kg

Paperback. English. Penguin. 1956. In fair condition.Read throughout the world, admired by Dostoevsky and translated by Baudelaire, Edgar Allan Poe has become a legendary figure, representing the artist as obsessed outcast and romantic failure. His nightmarish visions, shaped by cool artistic calculation, reveal some of the dark possibilities of human experience. But his enormous popularity and his continuing influence on literature depend less on legend or vision than on his stylistic accomplishments as a writer. The tales in this volume include Poe's best-known and most representative works as well as his masterly The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym.
