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.

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...

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.

Believing William Legrand to have gone insane following an insect bite, his friend initially decries his quest for gold as the ramblings of a madman. Yet when Legrand's conviction fails to waiver, they set off on a bizarre journey, accompanied by Jupiter, Legrand's loyal and equally skeptical servant. What follows is a strange tale of coded messages, hidden treasure, and uncanny prophecy that will both enthrall and baffle even the most perceptive readers.Part horror story, part detective fiction, The Gold Bug is an ingenious tale bearing all the hallmarks of Poe's extraordinary narrative skill. It is presented here with The Sphinx , a similarly themed and equally disturbing short story. Wonderfully versatile as an author and best known for his tales of terror and the macabre, Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) holds a venerable place in the history of American literature.

Né à Boston en 1809, orphelin adopté par une famille de Richmond, Edgar Allan Poe est aussi brillant dans les études qu'aberrant dans ses rapports avec autrui et sa vie amoureuse. Alcoolique invétéré, il est à la fois journaliste, poète et le plus singulier des conteurs fantastiques. Il vit tantôt à New York, tantôt à Baltimore, où il meurt en 1849.Né à Paris en 1821, Charles Baudelaire publie ses premiers poèmes intitulés Les Fleurs du Mal en 1855 dans la Revue des Deux Mondes. C'est en 1857 que paraît le volume. La même année l'auteur et son éditeur sont condamnés à des amendes et à la suppression de six poèmes. La deuxième édition ne paraîtra qu'en 1861, six ans avant la mort du poète.

READ BY DAVID SOUL Duration: 2 hours 28 minutes Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49) was an American poet, writer, editor and literary critic. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe’s full-blooded Gothic style influenced generations of writers, filmmakers and musicians, from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Charles Baudelaire to Roger Corman and Lou Reed. The five tales collected here range from the famous to the obscure, but each displays Poe's unique sense of the macabre and his love for the baroque. A victim of the Inquisition finds himself in a nightmarish torture chamber, a castle is besieged by plague, a man becomes obsessed by the evil eye of his fellow lodger, a mesmerist suspends a man's life at the point of death and a jester takes his revenge on his cruel employers.

This chapbook assembles two of Edgar Allan Poe's notable gothic tales, "William Wilson" and "MS. Found in a Bottle."

Compiles Poe's greatest writings: tales of fantasy, terror, death, revenge, murder, and mystery. This volume also offers letters, articles, criticism, visionary poetry, and a selection of random opinions on fancy and the imagination, music and poetry, intuition and sundry other topics.

And much of Madness and more of Sin And Horror the Soul of the Plot The lines from 'Ligeia' epitomize the familiar Poe, the arch-priest of Gothic horror, author of 'The Masque of the Red Death' and 'The Pit and the Pendulum'. That Poe, unquestioned master of 'the Grotesque and Arabesque', is fully represented here, but the volume also includes generous selections from his poetry and critical writings. Together they amount to a portrait of a complex personality, that of a conscious aesthete, the most exotic of American writers, who was at the same time keenly engaged in an astonishing variety of interests. Nor are the 'Grotesque' tales the simple manipulations of terror that they seem; David Galloway's introduction reveals their author as a profoundly serious writer, whose investigations of extreme states of conscious- ness have a particular relevance for our time.
