Edgar Allan Poe

»En riktigt, riktigt bra och spännande bok!« BokbimbonEdgar Allan Poe är inte bara den moderna detektivromanens fader, med berättelser som »Morden på rue Morgue« och »Det försnillade brevet«, där Auguste Dupin med sin logiska slutledningsförmåga löser mysterier även hans gotiska skräckberättelser har blivit stilbildande. I denna volym samlas hans mest berömda historier: »Den svarta katten«, »Brunnen och pendeln«, »Guldbaggen«, »Huset Ushers undergång« och många fler, samt avslutningsvis den ödesmättade dikten »Korpen«. Poes noveller är lika originella som bisarra och trollbinder läsare än i dag med sin förening av skönhet, fasa och förundran. Begravda hemligheter kommer till ytan medan själens malströmmar drar ner annat - och andra. EDGAR ALLAN POE föddes i Boston 1809. Efter korta försök inom universitetsvärlden och militären blev han biträdande redaktör för Southern Literary Messenger i Richmond och började verka som litteraturkritiker och författare. Romanen Arthur Gordon Pyms äventyr från 1938 mötte ingen större uppskattning; det var i novellerna som hans sällsamma senromantiska stil verkligen kom till sin rätt. Han avled i Baltimore år 1849.

Edgar Allan Poe (born Edgar Poe; January 19, 1809 - October 7, 1849) was an American writer, editor, and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and of American literature as a whole, and he was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story. He is generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career. Poe was born in Boston, the second child of actors David and Elizabeth "Eliza" Arnold Hopkins Poe. His father abandoned the family in 1810, and his mother died the following year. Thus orphaned, the child was taken in by John and Frances Allan of Richmond, Virginia. They never formally adopted him, but he was with them well into young adulthood. Tension developed later as John Allan and Edgar Poe repeatedly clashed over debts, including those incurred by gambling, and the cost of Poe's secondary education. He attended the University of Virginia but left after a year due to lack of money. Edgar Poe quarreled with John Allan over the funds for his education and enlisted in the Army in 1827 under an assumed name. It was at this time that his publishing career began with the anonymous collection Tamerlane and Other Poems (1827), credited only to "a Bostonian". Edgar Poe and John Allan reached a temporary rapprochement after the death of Frances Allan in 1829. Poe later failed as an officer cadet at West Point, declaring a firm wish to be a poet and writer, and he ultimately parted ways with John Allan. Poe and his works influenced literature around the world, as well as specialized fields such as cosmology and cryptography. He and his work appear throughout popular culture in literature, music, films, and television. A number of his homes are dedicated museums today. The Mystery Writers of America present an annual award known as the Edgar Award for distinguished work in the mystery genre. (wikipedia.org)
