Synopsis

This book contains Edgar Allen Poe's 1839 short story, "The Man That Was Used Up". One of Poe's satirical works, it follows the unnamed narrator as he seeks out a famous war hero and inventor called John A. B. C. Smith. When descriptions of the man are avoided and only a picture of his scientific advancements presented by those interviewed, the narrator supposes that the mysterious inventor is central to some deep secret. "The Man That Was Used Up" is an interesting and humorous exploration of humanity and its relationship with technology, and constitutes a must-read for fans of Poe's fantastic work. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American author, editor, poet, and critic. Most famous for his stories of mystery and horror, he was one of the first American short story writers, and is widely considered to be the inventor of the detective fiction genre. Many antiquarian books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
