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.

　　我读这本书的初衷原本是一个很简单的理由，那就是只是听说此书是侦探小说的始祖，而造就小说世界的第一个名侦探：杜邦，我对此感到好奇，仅此而已，当然这个问题，我想我得到了满意的答案，无论是侦探小说的基本要素（比如语不惊人死不休并且特立独行的名侦探，负责记录并且反应慢半拍的助手，一贯愚蠢并且饱受鄙视的官方警察），还是它给后续小说的创作启发（比如以柯南道尔的福尔摩斯为例，《跳舞的小人》和爱伦坡的《金甲虫》的解密手法惊人相似，《四个签名》和爱伦坡的《莫洛街凶杀案》的作案手法几乎完全一样）。他确实奠定了现代侦探小说的基础。但是让我感到意外和惊喜的，并不是侦探小说方面的东西，而是其独特的哲学思考，和史诗一般的哥特式文字描述。

　　爱伦坡很多大段大段的理论性描述，都值得细细品茗，一些论述乍看之下有点过于天马行空，但是仔细想想，谁又敢说自己在某个时候没有这样想过呢？是不是想过了，但是像做梦醒来之后那样，无法描述呢？也许这正是其最精妙之处吧
