Keby Edgar Allan Poe za celý svoj život nenapísal nič iné, iba tieto tri poviedky s postavou Auguste C. Dupina, aj tak by sa navždy zapísal do histórie svetovej literatúry. Stvoril v nich totiž prvého moderného literárneho detektíva a to ešte prv, ako slovo detektív začalo existovať.Parížsky gentleman, excentrický rytier Dupin je brilantný logik, básnik, metafyzik a romantik. Deduktívne schopnosti, ktoré využíva na riešenie zločinov, sa vymykajú obvyklému a pôsobia priam ako čosi nadprirodzené. Nič však nie je vzdialenejšie pravde. Záhadná, zdanlivo nemožná vražda v zamknutej miestnosti, mŕtva žena v rieke či prípad vydierača a ukradnutého listu predstavujú tri bravúrne ukážky súboja ľudského intelektu s tajomnom. Dupin nám dovoľuje sledovať jeho dedukcie od začiatku až do konca, kde nás necháva žasnúť nad geniálnou jednoduchosťou riešenia. Dupin – Prvý detektív je pre milovníkov klasických detektívnych príbehov príležitosť oboznámiť sa so základmi žánru, na ktorých stavali a dodnes stavajú celé plejády detektívov ako Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot a mnohí iní.

Edgar Allan Poe bol muž obdarený nevšedným talentom. Oddával sa podivným snom, znepokojivým nočným morám, ktoré obratne chytal do slov a kládol na papier. Jeho vízie sú aj po rokoch neobyčajne živé.Niektoré hryzú, driapu a vrčia z tmy. Iné sa smejú do hrste zlým smiechom, ktorého ozvena sa vám lepí na päty, keď kráčate opustenou uličkou. Sú také, čo kvília ako obeť toho najkrutejšieho mučenia alebo vás iba zľahka ovanú sladkastým pachom rozkladu. Mohli by byť nebezpečné, nebyť toho, že sú spútané do viet a riadkov ako do zvieracej kazajky. Niet sa čoho báť.Niektoré z týchto vízií prinášame v druhom zväzku poviedok, ktorý nesie názov jednej z nich – Zlatý skarabeus. Čitateľ môže vyraziť na hon za pokladom pirátov, pretrpieť muky v podzemnej kobke, prežiť lásku až za hrob, zúčastniť sa podivných hostín na ešte podivnejších miestach či sledovať záhadného muža davu. Vychutnajte si poviedky majstra Poea, ktoré sú od prvého do posledného slova brilantne namiešanou zmesou strachu, tajomna, dobrodružstva i groteskna.

Poeův Havran byl do češtiny přeložen již více než čtyřicetkrát. Přesto se další generace překladatelů pokoušejí o nový překlad této zásadní básně moderní světové poezie. Jedním z nich je Michael Grúz, absolvent angličtiny a češtiny na Filozofické fakultě Karlovy univerzity. Jeho překlad Havrana je pozoruhodný, rytmicky přesný, téměř hudebně znějící. Překladatel doplnil nový výbor z díla Edgara Allana Poea o autorovy další známé i méně povědomé básnické texty. Výtvarný doprovod tvoří s verši dobře souznívající ilustrace Marie Nováčkové, které povyšují tento svazek do bibliofilské podoby. Michael Grúz knihu doprovodil studií o básníkovi a Jan Suk esejistickým a komparatisticky pojatým doslovem.

Každý má občas zlé sny. Ve tmě se k vám blíží hrozné věci, věci, které slyšíte, ale nevidíte. Pak se probudíte ve své teplé posteli a otočíte se, abyste zase usnuli. Ale představte si, že se místo v posteli probudíte na tvrdé podlaze, v temnotě černější než ta nejtemnější noc. Nasloucháte tichu a cítíte vlhký mrtvolný puch. Smrt je všude kolem vás, vyčkává…Ve druhém svazku souborného díla mistra fantastické literatury Edgara Allana Poea přinášíme dvacet povídek v překladu Josefa Schwarze a Ladislava Šenkyříka, z nichž opět některé vycházejí česky poprvé.

A. Poe položil základy moderní detektivní prózy a v nichž se objevuje tvůrce dedukční metody ve vyšetřování C. A. Dupin, předobraz proslulého Sherlocka Holmese.

Čtenář, který má rád příjemné mrazení hrůzy, si v povídce „Pád domu Usherů“ užije celou řadu dalších romantických rekvizit: dlouhé, pusté chodby, záhadné choroby a strašidelné noční zvuky.

Výbor 14 povídek amerického romantického prozaika, básníka a esejisty E. A. Poea, považovaného za zakladatele moderní detektivky a hororu, kongeniálně doplňují kresby českého malíře a ilustrátora Aléna Diviše. V životě i tvorbě obou umělců najdeme mnohé paralely. Oba spojují dramatické životní osudy završené osamělou smrtí v hmotném nedostatku, oba měli zálibu v baladických příbězích s tajemnou atmosférou a také v jejich charakterech lze vystopovat shodné rysy. Tato lidská i umělecká spřízněnost patrně inspirovala Diviše k vytvoření rozsáhlého souboru čítajícího přes šedesát kreseb spojených se spisovatelovými povídkami. Ty se sice dočkaly řady reedic a výborů, ale s Divišovými ilustracemi vycházejí poprvé, a to po více než padesáti letech od jejich vzniku.

Oslňujúca novela írskeho spisovateľa Josepha Sheridana Le Fanu (1814 - 1874) vznikla takmer štvrťstoročie pred publikovaním asi najslávnejšieho hororu - románu Dracula. Neodškriepiteľným faktom však ostáva, že Bram Stoker sa pri písaní svojho románu inšpiroval práve dielom o uhrančivo krásnej Carmille. Sheridan Le Fanu napísal svoj strašidelný príbeh v duchu takzvaných gotických románov, no zároveň vytvoril intímnu a na svoju dobu až prekvapivo dráždivú lesbickú lovestory. Tento základný kameň upírskej literatúry patrí k najkrajším literárnym dielam viktoriánskej éry, v ktorých si podáva ruku krása a hrôza, nevinnosť a hriech, láska a smrť.

Explore the transcendent world of unity and ultimate beauty in Edgar Allan Poe's verse in this complete poetry collection. Although best known for his short stories, Edgar Allan Poe was by nature and choice a poet. From his exquisite lyric "To Helen,” to his immortal masterpieces, "Annabel Lee,” "The Bells,” and "The Raven,” Poe stands beside the celebrated English romantic poets Shelley, Byron, and Keats, and his haunting, sensuous poetic vision profoundly influenced the Victorian giants Swinburne, Tennyson, and Rossetti. Today his dark side speaks eloquently to contemporary readers in poems such as "The Haunted Palace” and "The Conqueror Worm,” with their powerful images of madness and the macabre. But even at the end of his life, Poe reached out to his art for comfort and courage, giving us in "Eldorado” a talisman to hold during our darkest moments-a timeless gift from a great American writer.

eBook: Trained in philosophy and medicine, the writer, translator, scholar, and political and cultural activist Siegfried Kapper (1821–1879) devoted significant effort to the advancement of Jewish culture in Bohemia, Jewish emancipation, and to the commitment of Jews to contemporary Czech society. The three stories in this collection, which first appeared in the press in the 1840s and were posthumously published as a collection at the end of the century, offer a Romantic and folkloric vision of Jewish culture in Prague. The first story, “Genenda”, displays Kapper’s operatic eye for detail and drama with its account of a dutiful rabbi’s daughter being swept away by a dashing young man, a Christian nobleman disguised as a Jew, a deceit that ends in tragedy. “The Curious Guest” is an intricate tale of a quest for wisdom and power that inevitably leads to the undoing of the arrogant protagonist. The final story, “Glowing Coals”, is a supernatural tale of romantic desire and revenge, displaying Kapper’s skill at deploying the tropes of folklore for dramatic literary effect. The collection not only provides a colorful snapshot of nineteenth-century Czech-Jewish culture but also resonates with universal human themes that transcend a single national experience.

The house stands at the end of a causeway, wreathed in fog and mystery, but it is not until he glimpses a wasted young woman, dressed all in black, at the funeral, that a creeping sense of unease begins to take hold, a feeling deepened by the reluctance of the locals to talk of the woman in black - and her terrible purpose.This illustrated edition includes four of Susan Hill's scariest ghost stories: Dolly, The Man in the Picture, Printer's Devil Court and The Small Hand.

Jaroslav Perry's fairy tales about the good dragon Balaban are a great book to read to children before falling asleep in the crib. Every fairy tale has to be the right length. Not too long, not too short.And it takes a pleasant five minutes to read one fairy tale about the dragon Balaban. Children quickly learn the catchy beginning of each fairy tale by heart, so they then tell it with you and are very much looking forward to the next dragon adventure. Don't you believe me? So, try it yourself:Once upon a time, there was a dragon whose name was Balaban. Balaban the dragon was very kind. And he liked children. This warm-hearted dragon had seven heads. And these heads were called Abby, Bunny, Carry, Debby, Elly, Fizzy and Gabby. All the heads had their own mind though and their own ideas. Some of the heads behaved nicely; others had some bad manners – Abby sometimes ate snacks belonging to other heads. Bunny was very good at maths and reading, Carry was always kind and other heads liked her very much, Debby always forgot everything.Elly and Fizzy were twins, and nobody could tell them apart. Even the other heads often did not know which one was which. Gabby always liked to scare shopkeepers.When Balaban the dragon walked past a shop, Gabby stuck her head inside and hooted, ‘Hoo, I’m Balaban the dragon.’ And the shopkeeper got scared out of his wits and fainted.

eBook: Ever wondered how to combat the deep-seated urge to do wrong? Maybe Edgar Allen Poe can help. In "The Imp of the Perverse" (1845) Poe sets out to explain the Imp – the archetype responsible for persuading us to do what we know in our minds we shouldn't. Poe, supposedly distraught with his own self-destructive impulses, lets the story take place primarily in the narrator's mind as he frets the day he will have to come clean. At the heart of this short story is the question of how far we can justify our wrongdoings. It explores our self-destructive impulses and urges, the abandonment of reason and our inherent wickedness. Join Poe as he takes the reader from the sunny valleys of reason to the darkest regions of the human soul. A descent into madness.

eBook: In England, fans of Charles Dickens were gripped by the four ghosts that visited Ebenezer Scrooge in 'A Christmas Carol' to get him to change his mean ways. At the same time, Edgar Allen Poe's 'Angel of the Odd', made out of a keg and wine bottles, drops in on the narrator, who does not believe in strange occurrences. He chases the angel away and has a booze-induced afternoon nap. When he wakes, his house is on fire. A ladder appears at the window and down he climbs - only to collide with a pig, fracturing his arm in the fall. Things cannot get worse, can they? They sure can! For he is given the elbow by his would-be wife, who notices that he wears a wig because it was burnt off in the blaze. The mishaps just keep coming. But when the 'Angel of the Odd' reappears, will the poor man swallow his pride and halt the barrage of blows?'Angel of the Odd' is the ideal read for those interested in Poe's lesser-known works.
