This is a unique one volume collection of all Poe's best tales and poems. Full of variety, the entries include: "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", "The Mystery of Marie Roget", "The Purloined Letter" - three classic detective stories - plus "The Raven", one of his greatest poems. A wonderful selection of tales and poems that are representative of every genre written by Poe, from the macabre and horrifying to the humorous and purely descriptive.
作者简介 Edgar Allan Poe (1809 - 1849) was brought up in England, but later went to the USA. A journalist and poet, he was best known for his invention of the detective story. Like many of his characters, he was disturbed and tormented, and was often driven to the brink of madness. This intense psychological content gives his work its distinctive edge.
