407 Руб.Poe Edgar Allan The Complete Stories
Edgar Allan Poe’s gift for the macabre – his genius in finding the strangeness lurking at the heart of things – was so extraordinary that he exerted a major influence on Baudelaire and French symbolism, on Freudian analysis, and also on the detective novel and the Hollywood movie. His psychologically profound stories of encounters with the marvellous, the uncanny and the dreadful represent – in contrast to the optimism of writers like Emerson and Whitman – the other, darker side of the nineteenth-century American sensibility.

2475 Руб.Poe Edgar Allan The Murders in the Rue Morgue
Edgar Allan Poe invented detective fiction with these three mesmerising stories of a young eccentric named C. Auguste Dupin: 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue', 'The Mystery of Marie Roget' and 'The Purloined Letter'. Dorothy L. Sayers would later describe these tales as 'almost a complete manual of detective theory and practice'. Indeed, Poe's short mysteries inspired the creation of countless literary sleuths, among them Sherlock Holmes. Today the unique Dupin stories still stand out as utterly engrossing page-turners. This edition includes the definitive text of these stories and an introduction and appendix on 'The Earliest Detectives' by Matthew Pearl.
