Sugestivní vyprávění o obsedantních vášních a závislostech, hrůze z předčasného pohřbu, o starém ponurém domě, jenž se i s posledními potomky šlechtického rodu pomalu rozpadá, o vězni, který je odsouzen ke strašlivě krutému trestu smrti, napíná a děsí čtenáře už více než sto padesát let. Výbor povídek slavného amerického prozaika Edgara Allana Poea (1809–1849) představuje sedmadvacet fantastických, mystických, hororových, tragikomických, groteskních i detektivních příběhů.

The Pit and the Pendulum and Other Tales
Since their first publication in the 1830s and 1840s, Edgar Allan Poe's extraordinary Gothic tales have established themselves as classics of horror fiction and have also created many of the conventions which still dominate the genre of detective fiction.
As well as being highly enjoyable, Poe's tales are works of very real intellectual exploration. Abandoning the criteria of characterization and plotting in favor of blurred boundaries between self and other, will and morality, identity and memory, Poe uses the Gothic to question the integrity of human existence. Indeed, Poe is less interested in solving puzzles or in moral retribution than in exposing the misconceptions that make things seem "mysterious" in the first place. Attentive to the historical and political dimensions of these very American tales, this critical edition selects twenty-four tales and places the most popular -- "The Pit and the Pendulum," "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Masque of the Red Death," "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," and "The Purloined Letter" -- alongside less well-known travel narratives, metaphysical essays, and political satires.

Tales of Mystery and Imagination
This collection of Poe's work contains some of the most exciting and haunting stories ever written. They range from the poetic to the mysterious to the darkly comic, yet all possess the genius for the grotesque that defines Poe's writing. They are peopled with neurotics and social outcasts, obsessed with nameless terrors or preoccupied with seemingly unsolvable mysteries. 'The Tell-Tale Heart' and 'The Fall of the House of Usher' are key works in the horror canon, while in the 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' and 'The Mystery of Marie Roget' we find the origins of modern detective fiction. Collectively, these tales represent the best of Edgar Allan Poe's prose work before his premature death in 1849.

A fekete macska - Helikon Zsebkönyvek 3.
Edgar Allan Poe lehelt életet a detektívtörténetekbe vélte Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. És ki lehetne nagyobb szakértő ez ügyben Sherlock Holmes kalandjainak megalkotójánál? A fekete macska és más történetek a krimi atyjának tartott Poe legjobb és leghíresebb novelláit adja közre: misztikum, titok és sötét erők elevenednek meg a hátborzongató (bűn)eseteket feldolgozó elbeszélésekben. A C. Auguste Dupin, a világirodalom megannyi zseniális detektívjének mintájául szolgáló alak különös gyilkosság nyomába ered A Morgue utcai kettős gyilkosságban, Az ellopott levélben pedig a királynő levelére kell rábukkannia. A kötet címadó novellája egy horrorisztikus eszközökkel elkövetett, szörnyű bűn feszéltséggel és félelemmel vegyes izgalommal teli lelepleződésének története, míg A vörös halál álarca és Az egy hordó amontillado már a tudományos-fantasztikus irodalomra emlékeztető írások. Poe a 19. századi amerikai irodalom legkülönösebb figurája, akit lírai-allegorikus költészete mellett a mesteri logikával megszerkesztett detektívtörténetei és bűnügyi novellái emeltek a világirodalom nagyjai közé.
