Edgar Allan Poe Livres

Havran je klasická narativní báseň amerického spisovatele Edgara Allana Poea. Báseň, publikovaná v lednu 1845, je známá svou muzikálností, stylizovaným jazykem a nadpřirozenou atmosférou. Vypráví o tajemné návštěvě mluvícího havrana u zarmouceného milence, sledujícího jeho pomalý pád do šílenství. Milenec, často identifikovaný jako student, truchlí nad ztrátou své lásky, Lenore. Sedící na bustě Pallas, havran zdá se, že dále podněcuje jeho úzkost neustálým opakováním slova "nikdy více". Báseň využívá řady lidových, mytologických, náboženských a klasických odkazů. Poe tvrdil, že báseň napsal velmi logicky a metodicky, s cílem vytvořit dílo, které by oslovilo jak kritiky, tak širokou veřejnost, jak vysvětlil ve svém následném eseji "Filozofie kompozice". Báseň byla částečně inspirována mluvícím havranem v románu Barnaby Rudge: Příběh nepokojů osmdesátých let od Dickense.

GRANDS ÉCRIVAINS (1985) - Edgar Allan POE Histoires extraordinaires

La maison Usher... Sinistre, mélancolique habitation dont les murs aveugles et froids se reflètent dans les eaux lugubres d'un grand lac à leur pied. La maison Usher... Comment évoquer cet endroit sans frémir ? Oh, pas de terreur ; non. La terreur même serait préférable à cette insupportable tristesse, ce total affaissement de l'âme qui saisit le voyageur quand il passe. Mais quand il s'arrête... Ah ! l'effroi qui enserre son cœur. Et la pitié. Car sur ce domaine navrant de désolation pèse une atmosphère de chagrin. Et sur ses habitants, derniers rejetons d'une lignée si glorieusement ancienne, un air de mélancolie âpre, profonde, incurable. Et le drame, le drame insensé qui va se jouer entre ces murs ne peut être qu'effroyable...

Huit textes d'effroi, signés par des grandes plumes des XIXe et XXe siècles pour s'initier au genre de la nouvelle et aux registres qu'elle emprunte. Qu'elles soient réalistes - créant la surprise du lecteur toujours stupéfait de constater les réalités insoupçonnables que peut receler une situation ordinaire -, fantastiques - favorisant l'irruption de l'étrange dans le réel le plus commun - ou tout simplement à chute - entièrement déterminées par le coup de théâtre que ménage la fin -, les nouvelles de ce recueil happent le lecteur dans les délices de l'attente du dénouement, et jouent à loisir avec ses nerfs et ses angoisses... Pour son plus grand plaisir ! ¤ Brève histoire de la nouvelle ¤ Les caractéristiques du récit réaliste et du récit fantastique ¤ Le fonctionnement de la nouvelle à chute ¤ Histoire des arts : fantastique et réalisme en peintur

Au cours d'une de ses promenades sur l'île de Sullivan, en Caroline du Sud, William Legrand fait une découverte incroyable : un scarabée couleur d'or ! Fasciné, il dessine l'insecte pour son ami Auguste Dupin. Soudain, son comportement change, inexplicablement. Le scarabée d'or l'aurait-il ensorcelé ? Six histoires extraordinaires qui mêlent raison et imagination, méthode et rêve, vécu et fantastique.

"Recueil de nouvelles où l'être humain est lui-même et ce qu'il se cache, victime de son double ou d'une névrose obsessionnelle, ou encore de son art. L'horreur atteint son point culminant et, pourtant, la réalité est là, tangible, pour chasser l'irrationnel." Résumé Electre

En pleine nuit, des cris effrayants réveillent les habitants de la rue Morgue, à Paris. Ils vont bientôt découvrir les cadavres atrocement mutilés d'une jeune fille et de sa mère. Des meurtres qui auraient pu rester inexplicables, sans la présence d'esprit d'Auguste Dupin, un jeune et brillant détective amateur... La plus célèbre nouvelle d'Edgar Allan Poe, suivie de la non moins énigmatique Lettre volée.

William Legrand et son jovial serviteur Jupiter découvrent un étrange scarabée, un scarabée d'or. Excité, William esquisse sur un vieux papier crasseux, un croquis de l'insecte. S'emparant du dessin, son ami, venu lui rendre visite, trouve en effet l'animal bien curieux : il ressemble à une tête de mort ; et puis, il n'a pas d'antennes ! Mais si, William les a pourtant tracées! Où sont-elles passée ? A moins que le papier ne soit ensorcelé...

FANTASTIQUE Un crime affreux a eu lieu rue Morgue. Qui pouvait en vouloir à madame l'Espanaye et à sa fille pour les massacrer ainsi? Où Monsieur le Ministre a-t-il bien pu cacher la lettre compromettante avec laquelle il comptait faire chanter une personne très haut placée? Grammaire: les pronoms relatifs ‘qui’, ‘que’, ‘dont’, ‘où’, les homophones, l’imparfait, le participe présent et le gérondif, l’emploi du subjonctif … Compétences: faire le portrait physique d’une personne à partir de mots donnés, rédiger un bref message, tel qu’un communiqué de presse, défendre ses idées et opinions … Dossiers: La criminologie: une nouvelle science du XIXe siècle Paris au XIXe siècle

Quatre nouvelles extraites des Histoires extraordinaires d'Edgar Allan Poe : une lettre volée qui met en péril un membre de la famille royale, un homme prisonnier d'un vaisseau fantôme où errent des âmes en peine, un veuf qui voit sa femme morte réincarnée dans sa fille, un gentleman victime de névralgie qui succombe à des événements d'autres temps... Denis Lavant et Roland Giraud distillent, chacun à leur tour, humour noir, mystère et effroi donnant à entendre toute la palette du génial poète, du polar précieux au conte fantastique. Accompagnant la narration, l'étonnante composition de Vincent Bouchot donne corps à des sensations éphémères, dessinent des images à peine évoquées, entraînant l'auditeur vers l'abîme.

Une heure pour redécouvrir que la lecture peut être flippante; 1 playlist, 4 nouvelles, des défis terrifiants et 1 sélection de films.

Marie Roget ? Oh ! une jeune fille bien sage ! Comment ? Sauvagement assassinée, dites-vous ? Mais par qui et pourquoi ? Et Mme L'Espanaye et sa fille, la discrétion même ! Jamais une histoire... jusqu'à ce qu'elles soient retrouvées mutilées par un atroce meurtrier ! On a tenté de cacher le pauvre corps de Mlle L'Espanaye dans le conduit d'une cheminée ! Comment un être humain peut-il brusquement devenir une bête sanguinaire ? Pour seuls indices : cris, ombres et vêtements tachés de sang ! Des meurtres qui vont donner du fil à retordre à M. Dupin et à son compagnon ! Edgar Allan Poe nous entraîne dans des enquêtes à faire pâlir d'horreur. Un conseil, ce soir, n'éteignez pas la lumière... on ne sait jamais.

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.

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. Yet, 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.
