Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American writer, poet, 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 also generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. Poe was the first well-known American writer to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Author, poet, and literary critic, Edgar Allan Poe is credited with pioneering the short story genre, inventing detective fiction, and contributing to the development of science fiction. However, Poe is best known for his works of the macabre, including such infamous titles as The Raven, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, Lenore, and The Fall of the House of Usher. Part of the American Romantic Movement, Poe was one of the first writers to make his living exclusively through his writing, working for literary journals and becoming known as a literary critic. His works have been widely adapted in film. Edgar Allan Poe died of a mysterious illness in 1849 at the age of 40.

I've finally received this tick volume today. It is very nicely published edition of Poe's works of 1989. The print is solid and not small at all (at least for my eyes). The pages have tanned of age a little but, surprisingly enough, the book itself is absolutely intact, like brand new.

I was always looking for Poe's critical writings and this volume has it. Looking forward to long fall evenings of reading with a glass of good armagnac or bourbon. Recent watching "The Fall of the House of Usher" on Netflix has contributed to my strong desire to buy this book and re-read Poe's stories and poems after almost 25 years.

The Kindle edition has a technical issue. Despite that, it's still good value for the money.

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2017

I'm a big admirer of Poe, whom I consider one of the greatest writers ever. That's why being able to get his complete works for just 1.18 dollars (I mean the Kindle edition) seemed nothing short of unbelievable to me at first. Unfortunately, there's a reason for that low price. The table of contents is incomplete. It only covers the first half of the book, give or take. Now, in the case of a normal, printed book this wouldn't be a problem. I rarely use the table of contents myself (in fact, in most cases I'd probably not even notice if it were missing entirely), preferring instead to just leaf through the book until I find what I want. But an e-book is different. It can't be leafed through. For an e-book a good table of contents is essential. For instance, I wanted to read The Raven. The only way I could find it was to use the Kindle's search feature, which returned a lot of matches, then to guess which of these matches might be the correct one.
It is useable, but only to the extent a simple PDF file would be. That is, read it sequentially, rely extensively on the search feature, and hope for the best. But then, given the price, we shouldn't be too picky, should we?

Update: It seems I was mistaken. While the actual table of contents (what you see when you press "Go To" on your Kindle) is indeed incomplete, there is also a hidden one, which appears to be complete. I stumbled upon it by chance. Instead of going to the beginning of the book (which takes you to the first tale), you must go to the cover, then turn the pages one by one, and you'll see it.

Nice Poe Collection

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2009

Verified Purchase

This book with everything inside is around eight hundred some pages and a very nice readable book. The text is not too small nor too large but then again some people may not like it in between but it was perfect for my eyes. There are a ton of stories in this book so get ready for a lot of reading. I have not read too many Poe stories or poems before but it was a lot simpler to understand than I thought. I haven't read Poe since high school about ten years ago so it was nice to go back as an adult to understand it better. The one problem I had with the book is the name of your current story you are reading is not at the top of the page and instead the name of the book is. It is a kind of annoying feature that since I don't bend pages or use bookmarks I have come to dislike. I know I read somewhere someones review with OCD could not stand it and I think I understand why. For some reason I keep looking at the top of the page and not seeing the name of the current story like a normal book. That is such a minor gripe compared to the rest of the book considering the vastness and greatness in the book I have come across. Some stories I didn't know were Poes that I had seen movies of but now I know which is great. Poe from what I remember lived a somewhat tragic existence but his poetry lives on and maybe if his life was different we wouldn't have his great works.

Well. Where do I start. The book is in excellent condition and even more beautiful than shown online. Pretty awesome for a used book! While the folio is lovely, I was pleasantly surprised to find the book itself is covered in a satin like material , which makes it all that much more of a treasure.
I'm very happy with my purchase. Love!

Fui surpreendido pela qualidade dessa edição.
É um livro bem feito, resistente. Traz todos os contos, poemas e o único romance do Poe.
As folhas são brancas mas são boas, com boa espessura.
Enfim, quando essa edição estiver com preço baixo não deixem de aproveitar a promoção. Vale muito a pena.

"Complete Tales & Poems of Edger Allan Poe" ist ein wunderbar, fein verarbeitetes Hardcover-Buch, welches mit einen sehr stabilen und ebenso eleganten Schuber kommt.

Darin enthalten sind nicht nur bekannte Werke wie "The Pit and the Pendulum" oder "The Raven" sondern auch weitgehend alle anderen Werke die er jemals geschrieben hat.
Alles auf Englisch jedoch weiterhin ein wunderbares Werk in meinen Augen.

The Fall of the House of Usher and The Purloined Letter by Edgar Allan Poe

In The Purloined Letter, Poe is at his level headed and rational best. The narrator and Dupin are sitting by the fireside one evening when the Prefect of Parisian Police bursts in. He has a big problem on his hands: an influential woman has had an incriminating letter stolen by the Minister D. The police are certain it's in his hotel but they've applied all possible scientific method to searching the place and still haven't found the letter:

"We not only opened every book, but we turned over every leaf in each volume, not contenting ourselves with a mere shake...we also measured the thickness of every bookcover, with the most accurate admeasurement, and applied to each the most jealous scrutiny of the microscope."

Soon the police have exhausted their scientific method. Thankfully, Dupin is on hand to solve the mystery using psychology, produce the letter and explain (with a forgivable amount of smugness) precisely how he managed it.

The Fall of the House of Usher is an entirely different proposition. The narrator receives an unexpected letter from an old friend and hurries to his home. He hasn't seen Roderick Usher for many years and is deeply disturbed by the house and by the state that Roderick has fallen into. He has declined into a pale, melancholy shadow of his earlier self and his sister Madeline is on the verge of succumbing to a wasting disease the doctors cannot identify:

"A sensation of stupor oppressed me as my eyes followed her retreating steps. When a door, at length, closed upon her, my glance sought instinctively and eagerly the countenance of the brother; but he had buried his face in his hands, and I could only perceive that a far more than ordinary wanness had overspread his emaciated fingers through which trickled many passionate tears."

Madeline dies not long after and the narrator helps his old friend to place her coffin in the vault. Roderick's decline worsens and one terrible night he bangs on the bedroom door of his old friend and cries out that in burying his sister he might possibly have been a little hasty...

Two very different tales from the nineteenth-century master of chill and suspense. Plus much else besides. Enjoy them on the train rattling home from work or by the fireside on a dark and stormy night. Either way you'll be mesmerised.

Enjoy!

Je l’ai commandé en double examplaire (à la va vite je vous ai dit..). Belle surprise en tout cas. Je ne m’attendais pas à une beau livre comme ça. Très complet, format roman, rigide.
