The Tell-Tale Heart (Unabridged)

Эдгар По

The Tell-Tale Heart (Unabridged)

In The Tell-Tale Heart the narrator strives to convince the reader of his sanity, while describing a murder he committed. The motivation for murder appears to be the narrator's fixation on the victim's cloudy vulture-eye. After disposing of the body, the narrator calmly entertains (at first) three policemen who come to investigate reports of screaming in the night. First published in 1843 in The Pioneer, a short-lived Boston magazine edited by James Russell Lowell, The Tell-Tale Heart...

Die schwarze Katze (ungekürzt)

Daß man den so unheimlichen und doch so natürlichen Geschehnissen, die ich jetzt berichten will, Glauben schenkt, erwarte ich nicht, verlange es auch nicht. Ich müßte wirklich wahnsinnig sein, wenn ich da Glauben verlangen wollte, wo ich selbst das Zeugnis meiner eigenen Sinne verwerfen möchte. Doch wahnsinnig bin ich nicht – und sicherlich träume ich auch nicht. Morgen aber muß ich sterben, und darum will ich heute meine Seele entlasten.

Unheimliche Geschichten, Band 2

Edgar Allan Poes Werke provozierten, weil sie Grenzen überschritten. Das biedere Amerika des 19. Jahrhunderts strafte ihn dafür mit übler Nachrede und Vergessen. Dabei begann genau genommen mit Poe erst die literarische Moderne. Der Meister der fantastischen Literatur erfand ein Genre neu, indem er Angst nicht romantisierte, sonders Gräuel beim Namen nannte. In der Neu-Übersetzung von Arno Schmidt und Hans Wollschläger erschließen sich geniale Welten: Klassische Schauergeschichten auf höchstem...

Narraciones extraordinarias

Maquiavélico, terrorífico, repugnante, horroroso… estas son pocos ejemplos de cómo podríamos describir las novelas de Edgar Allan Poe, donde, con aire de angustia, nos entrega obras en las que predomina sólo una cosa: la locura. En esta pequeña recopilación, podemos encontrar desde los relatos más conocidos, como El gato, negro, El cuervo y El corazón delator, acompañados de algunos no tan renombrados, pero con el mismo objetivo en común: no dejarnos dormir por las noches. Algo destacable en la...
