Thou Art the Man - Edgar Allan Poe - e-kniha
eBook: Poe is the master of unreliable narration and deceptive oratory. So, should we believe him when he professes to exonerate the innocent and illuminate the guilty?"Thou Art the Man" (1844) is an early detective story by the man who is often accredited with inventing the detective fiction genre. Alarm spreads when Barnabas Shuttleworthy's horse returns home without him. A search is commenced and soon follows an accusation. The tribulations of the accused man and his road to redemption are depicted in a macabre way inviting a good dose of gallows humour into the narrative mix. This macabre Poe concoction has received little attention and less praise. "Thou Art the Man" clearly shows that artful rhetoric ultimately – and always – leads to truth.

The Spectacles - Edgar Allan Poe - e-kniha
eBook: Ever wondered what would happen if Poe left his gloom and doom-hungry readers in the lurch to crack a few jokes?The answer is Poe's rare comedy in the form of "The Spectacles" (1844). The main character, a shortsighted and dim-witted fool (perhaps aptly) named Napoleon, inherits a large amount of money. Unfortunately, it turns out that his short-sightedness is as symbolic as it is literal, and it quickly becomes the reason behind a series of humorous escapades. While the story begins as romance, it goes through the pains of farce, only to end on note of morality. The readers will break into laughter as they learn that love at first sight isn't all it's cracked up to be.

The Imp of the Perverse - Edgar Allan Poe - e-kniha
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.

The Journal of Julius Rodman - Edgar Allan Poe - e-kniha
eBook: An authentic description of an expedition across the heart of the Rocky Mountains that turned out to be an elaborate hoax."The Journal of Julius Rodman" is Edgar Allen Poe's second attempt at producing a lengthier work and until recently even hardcore fans have missed out on this adventurous gem. It tells the story of the first expedition over the Rocky Mountains conducted by "civilized man" and is packed with wild and vivid nature descriptions, encounters with Native American tribes and supreme emotions bringing Leonardo DiCaprio's "The Revenant" to mind. Intended as a serialized novel, it was published anonymously in six instalments in Burton's Gentleman Magazine in 1839-40 while Poe was working as a contributing editor. This novel, though unfinished, is extremely enjoyable and even prominent Senators initially believed the expedition to be a true story. A must-read for bona fide Poe fans.

Klasik hrůzostrašné povídky by nemohl existovat bez protikladných vlivů, a tak vedle jeho nejlepších děsuplných povídek, například Sudu vína amontilladského nebo Skokana, můžeme postavit pěkně úderné, vypointované grotesky, protože humor a horor mají k sobě mnohdy nebezpečně blízko. Tam, kde se osnuje ďábelská pomsta, nechybí satirický osten, nebo dokonce úsměvný záblesk šílenství. Ostatně koho muže napadnout udělat z pacientů blázince zároveň ošetřovatele (Šílený psychiatr), z nevěřícího Tomáše hrdinu nejnepravděpodobnějších bizarních situací (Anděl pitvornosti) anebo nechat přijít chvástavého idiota doslova o hlavu? U některých kousků se nasmějete tak, až vás bude píchat v bránici, mrazit v šíji, a nakonec budete i soucítit se šíleným vrahem, který se rozhodne pomstít bezpočet příkoří zvláště zavrženíhodným způsobem, pohrbením zaživa.

In the Shadow of Edgar Allan Poe (Defekt) - Edgar Allan Poe, Leslie S.
A masterful collection of horror fiction by widely acclaimed authors whose contributions to the genre have been lost in the shadow of Poe, by one of America's foremost anthologists. Edgar Allan Poe did not invent the tale of terror. There were American, English, and Continental writers who preceded Poe and influenced his work. Similarly, there were many who were in turn influenced by Poe's genius and produced their own popular tales of supernatural literature. This collection features masterful tales of terror by authors who, by and large, are little-remembered for their writing in this genre. Even Bram Stoker, whose Dracula may be said to be the most popular horror novel of all time, is not known as a writer of short fiction. Distinguished editor Leslie S. Klinger is a world-renowned authority on those twin icons of the Victorian age, Sherlock Holmes, and Dracula. His studies into the forefathers of those giants led him to a broader fascination with writers of supernatural literature of the nineteenth century. The stories in this collection have been selected by him for their impact. Each is preceded by a brief biography of the author and an overview of his or her literary career and is annotated to explain obscure references. Read on, now, perhaps with a flickering candle or flashlight at hand . . . Stories by: Ambrose Bierce, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Theodor Gautier, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Arthur Conan Doyle, Lafcadio Hearn, M. R. James, Bram Stoker, and many others. Leslie S.

Dupin - Edgar Allan Poe
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.

Zlatý skarabeus - Edgar Allan Poe
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.

Havran - Edgar Allan Poe - audiokniha
Audiokniha: EDGAR ALLAN POE ( *19.11.1809 – †7.10.1849) autor Havrana, nejznámější básně všech dob a nejvýznamnějšího díla romantismu, byl americký básník, prozaik, literární teoretik a esejista. Lyricko-epická baladická báseň Havran (v orig. Raven = Krkavec) vypráví příběh nemocného muže ležícího v horečkách a především trýzněného vzpomínkami na svoji zemřelou milenku Lenoru, jehož navštíví tajuplný host - havran, který na otázky kladené mu z počátku žertem, později vážněji a vážněji odpovídá vždy jen "nevermore", tzn. "nikdy více", v překladu V. Nezvala "už víckrát ne". Odpoví tak i na otázku znejistělého muže, zda ještě někdy uvidí svou milou...Mužův údiv a nejistota postupně graduje v paniku a posléze i v hrůzu. Snaží se havrana zbavit, ale ten zmizet nehodlá. Závěrem muž přijímá, že havran již zřejmě nikdy neodletí a zůstane jako temný stín v jeho duši... Recituje Jiří Adamíra

Ve stínu Havrana - Edgar Allan Poe
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.
