The Murders in the Rue Morgue is a mystery story by Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham's Magazine in 1841. It has been recognized as the first modern detective story; Poe referred to it as one of his tales of ratiocination. The story opens with a lengthy explanation of ratiocination. Dupin demonstrates his prowess by deducing his companion's thoughts as if through apparent supernatural power. The story then turns to the baffling double murder of Madame L'Espanaye and her daughter at their home in the Rue Morgue, a fictional street in Paris. According to newspaper accounts, the mother was found in a yard behind the house, with multiple broken bones and her throat so deeply cut that her head fell off when the body was moved. The daughter was found strangled to death and stuffed upside down into a chimney. The murders occurred in a fourth-floor room that was locked from the inside; on the floor were found a bloody straight razor, several bloody tufts of gray hair, and two bags of gold coins. Several witnesses reported hearing two voices at the time of the murder, one male and French, but disagreed on the language spoken by the other. The speech was unclear, and every witness admits that he does not know the language he claims to have heard.Paris natives Dupin and his friend, the unnamed narrator of the story, read these newspaper accounts with interest. The two live in seclusion and allow no visitors. They have cut off contact with former associates and venture outside only at night.

Dieses Werk ist der einzige Roman von Edgar Allan Poe, erstmals veröffentlicht im Jahre 1838. Er beschreibt das Leben des A. G. Pym, der von seiner Jugend an Abenteuer auf See sucht und überlebt, die allmählich seine Einstellung zum Leben verändern. Die Art der Abenteuer sind zum Teil realistisch (Schiffbruch und Meuterei), zum Teil phantastisch (hei e Strömungen und Stromschnellen im Ozean des Südens). Der Roman ist das längste Prosawerk Poes und gilt als eine seiner rätselhaftesten Arbeiten. Zur Inhalt: Pym und sein Freund Augustus Barnard unternehmen schon als Jugendliche auf Pyms Segelboot die tollsten Streiche. Pym versteckt sich im Bauch des Walfängers Grampus, den Augustus' Vater als Kapitän führen und den Augustus begleiten soll. In der Dunkelheit unter Deck, zwischen den ausdünstenden Tranfässern und ohne genügend Wasser und Nahrung verliert Pym fast den Verstand. Nach einigen vergeblichen Befreiungsversuchen gibt sich Pym schon auf, aber Augustus befreit ihn nach 11 Tagen aus dem Dunkel: Er hatte es nicht früher tun können, da eine Meuterei auch ihn gefangen gesetzt und fast das Leben gekostet hatte. Die Rückeroberung des Schiffes durch Augustus, Pym und ihren neuen Freund, Dirk Peters, einen früheren Meuterer, gelingt. Die Meuterer werden dadurch überrascht, dass sich Pym als Gespenst eines von seinen Kameraden ermordeten Meuterers verkleidet. Parallel zum Kampf der Menschen tobt der nächste Kampf der Naturkräfte, der nächste Sturm, der das Schiff in ein treibendes Wrack verwandelt....

Tales of Mystery and Imagination by Edgar Allen Poe: Illustrated -- Collections of stories by Edgar Allen Poe illustrated in full color by both famous illustrators and original illustrations by contemporary artists. Volume 4 contains Poe's novella, The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaall, and his classic poetic work, The Raven, both extensively illustrated and with notes.

Esteemed as a literary critic and poet, Edgar Allan Poe was most highly acclaimed for his tales and sketches. He transformed the short story from anecdote to art, virtually created the detective story, and perfected the psychological thriller. This volume is the second of two, edited by the consummate Poe scholar Thomas Ollive Mabbott, collecting all the tales of this master of the uncanny, the unnerving, and the terrifying.

Poe's stories reflect his professed method of writing as if the author were firmly impressed with the truth, yet astonished at the immensity of the wonders he related. Marrying grotesque inventiveness with superb plot construction, Poe's strikingly original tales often use only one main character and one main incident. In many of them, horror and suspense, revenge and torture, are laced with hilarious satire. Each volume is enriched with Mabbott's detailed and authoritative notes on sources, the history and collation of all known texts authorized by Poe, and variants of Poe's final version.

Volume 2 contains stories written between 1843 and Poe's death, including The Tell-Tale Heart, The Purloined Letter, and The Cask of Amontillado.

Promising spine-tingling delights and sleepless nights, this annotated edition of Tales and Sketches is a treasure trove for scholars and general readers alike, confirming Poe's status as one of literary art's most brilliant but erratic stars.

Although best known for his tales, Edgar Allan Poe himself thirsted for fame primarily as a poet. This volume, assembled by the eminent Poe scholar Thomas Ollive Mabbott, is the single most authoritative edition of Poe's poems ever published: 101 poems and their variants, including such gems as The Raven, The Bells, and Annabel Lee, as well as previously uncollected poems, fragments, verses he published in reviews he wrote, and poems attributed to him.
In this exhaustive collection, Mabbott takes a fresh look at these texts, aiming to present what [Poe] wrote, to explain why he wrote it, to tell what he meant when he wrote it (if that be in any way obscure), and to give a history of its publication. Containing the definitive poems as well as pertinent biographical background, full annotations, and a meticulous enumeration of successive texts and variants, Mabbott's edition stands as a firm foundation for Poe scholarship as well as for more general appreciation.

The story begins with the unnamed narrator arriving at the house of his friend, Roderick Usher, having received a letter from him in a distant part of the country complaining of an illness and asking for his help. Although Poe wrote this short story before the invention of modern psychological science, Roderick's condition can be described according to its terminology. It includes a form of sensory overload known as hyperesthesia (hypersensitivity to textures, light, sounds, smells and tastes), hypochondria (an excessive preoccupation or worry about having a serious illness) and acute anxiety. It is revealed that Roderick's twin sister, Madeline, is also ill and falls into cataleptic, death-like trances.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore- While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. 'Tis some visiter, I muttered, tapping at my chamber door- Only this and nothing more. -Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe (born Edgar Poe) was born in Boston Massachusetts on January 19th 1809 and was orphaned at an early age. Taken in by the Allan family his education was cut short by lack of money and he went to the military academy, West Point where he failed to become an officer. His early literary works were poetic but he quickly turned to prose. He worked for several magazines and journals until in January 1845 The Raven was published and became an instant classic. Thereafter followed the works for which he is now so rightly famed as a master of the mysterious and macabre. In this volume we bring you his essay on poetry, less well known than his stories, but fascinating none the less and, as an addition, helps to round out Edgar Allan Poe the Artist as well as a remarkable insight to his thoughts. Poe died at the early age of 40 in 1849 in Baltimore, Maryland
