Cuentos / Short Stories

«Fue un aventurero en las criptas, sótanos y horribles pasajes subterráneos del alma humana. Sondeó el horror y el peligro de su propia ruina.» D. H. Lawrence

Edgar Allan Poe dejó un legado literario que se ha convertido en un punto de referencia constante para todas las artes y que aflora en autores tan variados como Baudelaire, Dostoievski, Cortázar o Stephen King.

Autores de la talla de Matisse, Manet y Gauguin pintaron obras en las que plasmaban el rostro de Poe o imágenes de sus relatos, y el cine sigue rindiéndole homenaje año tras año. Su prosa es hoy un modelo clásico estudiado por todo aspirante a escritor de narrativa breve, y la huella de Poe en la literatura detectivesca y de terror es incuestionable. Este volumen incluye diez de sus mejores relatos, algunos de los cuales, como «La carta robada» o «El gato negro», son considerados piezas maestras de la literatura universal.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"He was an adventurer in the crypts, cellars, and horrible underground passages of the human soul. He probed the horror and danger of his own ruin." D. H. Lawrence

Edgar Allan Poe left a literary legacy that has become a constant point of reference for all the arts and that emerges in authors as varied as Baudelaire, Dostoyevsky, Cortázar or Stephen King.

Authors of the stature of Matisse, Manet and Gauguin painted works in which they captured Poe's face or images from his stories, and cinema continues to pay tribute to him year after year. His prose is today a classic model studied by every aspiring writer of short fiction, and Poe's imprint on detective and horror literature is unquestionable. This volume includes ten of his best stories, some of which, such as "The Purloined Letter" or "The Black Cat", are considered masterpieces of universal literature.
