A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Over 150 years after his death the stories of Edgar Allan Poe continue to intrigue and entrance. Master of the fantastic and the macabre, Poe takes readers on a journey beyond the limits of the imagination to realms where anything is possible.

This handsome collection of 29 of Poe’s best-known tales—including “The Fall of the House of Usher” and “The Murders in Rue Morgue”—is accompanied by the drawings of acclaimed Art Nouveau designer Harry Clarke. Poe and Clark were kindred spirits in artistic daring and this marriage of their work makes a perfect union.

Edgar Allan Poe was a pioneer of the short story genre, and his Tales of Mystery and Imagination have an inimitable gothic atmosphere. Some additional tales included in this classic collection are “Berenice,” “The Assassination,” “A Descent into the Maelstrom,” “The Masque of the Red Death,” “The Tell-Tale Heart,” and “The Premature Burial.” This oversized, finely designed hardcover edition is a perfect gift for classic literature buffs.
