LARGE PRINT EDITION. The Edgar Allan Poe Collection (2020) compiles several iconic works of short fiction and poetry by an icon of American literature. Recognized as a foundational figure of nineteenth century fiction, Poe has inspired generations of readers and writers with his craftsmanship and taste for tragedy and terror. His brief but meteoric career shaped the trajectory of American literature forever, forming a legacy without which science fiction, horror, and detective writing would surely be shells of themselves. In “The Fall of the House of Usher,” a man receives a distressing letter from an old friend requesting his presence at his family estate. There, Roderick Usher and his twin sister Madeline are found suffering from an unknown illness, and the narrator struggles to comfort them as signs of paranormal activity lead him to believe that the house itself is a living entity. “The Masque of the Red Death” is a timely work of Gothic fiction set in the abbey of a powerful prince. As the world outside suffers from a deadly plague, the prince decides to hold a masquerade for his wealthy friends and fellow nobles, unwittingly bringing death to his own fortunate doorstep. In “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” a French detective summons the powers of analytical reasoning to investigate the deaths of two young women. Included in this collection are some of Poe’s most iconic poems, including “A Dream Within a Dream,” “The Raven,” and “Ulalume,” all of which remain indelible classics of Romantic verse, masterpieces of mystery, beauty, and slow-burning fear. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Edgar Allan Poe Collection is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.

Je suis naturellement d sireux que ce que j'ai crit circule tel que je l' crivis, s'il doit le faire aucunement. Pour la d fense de mon propre go t, n anmoins, il m'incombe de dire que je ne crois pas que rien en ce volume soit d'un grand prix pour le public, ou me fasse grand honneur. Des v nements situ s en dehors de toute ma trise m'ont emp ch de faire aucune poque aucun effort s rieux dans un champ qui, en des circonstances plus heureuses, aurait t celui de mon choix. Pour moi la po sie n'a pas t un but qu'on se propose, mais une passion; et il faut traiter les passions avec le plus grand respect; elles ne doivent pas, elles ne peuvent pas tre suscit es volont , dans l'espoir des ch tifs d dommagements, ou des louanges plus ch tives encore, de l'humanit . Si peu de vers si espac s mais o le po te a su enti re affirmer sa vision po tique, fallait-il les r duire encore? Oui, pour ne donner au lecteur nouveau attir par ce titre des po mes, que merveilles. Ainsi presque pas un des vingt morceaux qui ne soit en son mode un chef-d'oeuvre unique, et ne produise sous une de ses facettes, clatante de feux sp ciaux, ce qui toujours fut pour Poe, ou fulgurant, ou translucide, pur comme le diamant, la po sie. (St phane Mallarm ) L' tude de Jules Verne sur Edgard Poe donn e ici en annexe a t publi e dans le Mus e des Familles en 1857.
