内容简介
Born to an unfortunate heritage, orphaned, unsympathetically raised, and then abandoned, Edgar Allan Poe struggled for greatness in an adverse social and economic climate -- a setting not improved by his fiery temperament and caustic criticism of others. Poe's melancholy brilliance, his passionate lyricism, and his tormented soul would make him one of the most widely read and original writers in American literature. Here, in one volume, are his classic short works: masterpieces of horror, terror, humor, and adventure -- and the finest lyric and narrative poetry of this ill-fated genius whose influence on both prose and verse continues to this day.
Pocket Books' Enriched Classics present the great works of world literature enhanced for the contemporary reader. This edition of Great Tales And Poems Of Edgar Allan Poe contains the original Pocket Books introduction, first published in 1951, along with an updated selection of critical excerpts, and suggestions for further readings.
作者简介
Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American writer, poet, editor and literary critic, considered part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective-fiction genre. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.
He was born as Edgar Poe in Boston, Massachusetts; he was orphaned young when his mother died shortly after his father abandoned the family. Poe was taken in by John and Frances Allan, of Richmond, Virginia, but they never formally adopted him. He attended the University of Virginia for one semester but left due to lack of money. After enlisting in the Army and later failing as an officer's cadet at West Point, Poe parted ways with the Allans. Poe's publishing career began humbly, with an anonymous collection of poems, Tamerlane and Other Poems (1827), credited only to "a Bostonian".
Poe switched his focus to prose and spent the next several years working for literary journals and periodicals, becoming known for his own style of literary criticism. His work forced him to move between several cities, including Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City. In Baltimore in 1835, he married Virginia Clemm, his 13-year-old cousin. In January 1845, Poe published his poem "The Raven" to instant success. His wife died of tuberculosis two years later. He began planning to produce his own journal, The Penn (later renamed The Stylus), though he died before it could be produced. On October 7, 1849, at age 40, Poe died in Baltimore; the cause of his death is unknown and has been variously attributed to alcohol, brain congestion, cholera, drugs, heart disease, rabies, suicide, tuberculosis, and other agents.
Poe and his works influenced literature in the United States and around the world, as well as in specialized fields, such as cosmology and cryptography. Poe and his work appear throughout popular culture in literature, music, films, and television. A number of his homes are dedicated museums today.

这次读爱伦坡,很快就勾起了我上述的那种印象,文风很繁琐,甚至都感觉有点罗嗦,但是你很快就能静下心来仔细地品位其中的滋味,很多时候你会猛然发现,这说的不正是自己内心深处最隐秘的,也是最不可思议的意识,那种每个人都经历过的最抓狂的,在理智边缘极力控制自己过程中的那种说不清道不明的感觉,作者居然可以用这样一种笔调,赤裸裸地,夸张地表现出来,如此地精准和入木三分,随后会激起一种让自己都觉得恐怖的快感,比如《作恶的心魔》里的那种”莫名其妙地,不可控制地,自己和自己过不去地倔强。”,比如《活葬》里那种”突然醒来最怕看到某种情况”那一两秒钟内的恐惧,这才是真正的无法用语言表达的感受(而不是cctv里那种”无法用语言表达”的模式,那样只会让人困惑语文没学好还是太忸怩作态),而这些文字又是何等地适到好处。

“媒体通常只会制造骇人听闻的话题,而不想挖掘事情的真相,即使媒体有时挖掘出了真相,那也只不过搭了炒作话题的顺风车罢了,纯属偶然,不必把媒体看得 太崇高。”

就是最常见的口袋本,字体大小还行,但收录的故事比较少,适合入门和不愿意拿着大部头四处跑的读者。
