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.
Aventuras de Arthur Gordon Pym
by Edgar Allan PoeAquí encontraremos una serie de aventuras con el toque característico de Poe. Artur es un incansable joven lleno de deseos de viajar y conocer, pero en todos sus viajes debe enfrentar peligros, carencias y estar al borde de la muerte. El terror que nos transmite Poe no es el típico del siglo veinte, sangre, desmembramientos, ni nada por el estilo; es una manera más exquisita de encaminarnos al sufrimiento por zozobra. El peligro es el ingrediente principal pues coloca a sus personajes en lucha contra la naturaleza, el hambre, la inclemencia y por supuesto los seres reales e imaginarios que toda historia de terror debe contener.
