Overview
En una fantasmagórica noche de diciembre, en un lugar habitado solo por el silencio, el recuerdo y el pesar, se oyen unos suaves golpes en la puerta. Solo esto y nada más. Con esta escena, prácticamente de terror, empieza "El cuervo", el poema más famoso de Edgar Allan Poe, con el que se convirtió en una celebridad en todo el país y con el que se ganó el sobrenombre de Mr. Poe el poeta. Si bien la historia lo ha convertido en uno de los grandes maestros del relato corto y referente inescapable de literatura gótica y del relato detectivesco, lo cierto es que Poe también sentía una gran inclinación por la poesía, un arte que practicó desde muy joven y hasta el final de su vida. El presente volumen da fe de la calidad de su producción lírica, tan escueta como fina y esmerada. Asimismo, presenta una selección de sus reflexiones acerca de la composición poética y la escritura.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
This great work commemorates the 175th anniversary of the first publication of the famous poem “El Cuervo” / “The Raven”, now with this bilingual anthology of Edgar Allan Poe’s essential poetry.
On a spooky December night, in a place inhabited only by silence, memory, and regret, there is a soft knock at the door. Only this and nothing else. With this terrifying scene Edgar Allan Poe’s most famous poem, "The Raven", begins, one with which he became a celebrity throughout the country and with which he earned the nickname Mr. Poe the Poet. Although history has made him one of the great masters of short stories and an undoubtable reference in Gothic literature and detective stories, the truth is that Poe also had a great inclination for poetry, an art that he practiced from a very young age and through until the end of his life. This volume attests to the quality of his lyrical creations, which are concise, fine, and meticulous. He also offers a selection of his reflections about poetic composition and writing.
