Narraciones Extraordinarias
by Edgar Allan PoeLa genialidad y la originalidad de Edgar Allan Poe, maestro del relato de terror y detectivesco, encuentran quizás su mejor expresión en los cuentos, que, según sus propias apreciaciones críticas, son la segunda forma literaria, pues permiten una lectura sin interrupciones, y por tanto la unidad de efecto que resulta imposible en la novela. La obra de Poe influyó notablemente en los simbolistas franceses, en especial en Charles Baudelaire, quien lo dio a conocer en Europa.
