New Releases by Edgar Allan Poe

The Pit and The Pendulum by Edgar Allan Poe "The Pit and the Pendulum" is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe and first published in 1842 in the literary annual The Gift: A Christmas and New Year's Present for 1843. The story is about the torments endured by a prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition, though Poe skews historical facts. The narrator of the story describes his experience of being tortured. The story is especially effective at inspiring fear in the reader because of its heavy focus on the senses, such as sound, emphasizing its reality, unlike many of Poe's stories which are aided by the supernatural. The traditional elements established in popular horror tales at the time are followed, but critical reception has been mixed. The tale has been adapted to film several times.

▶ 에드거 앨런 포의 적사병의 가면극(The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe)(1842)은 1842년 그래햄 매거진(Graham''s Magazine) 5월호에 최초로 공개된 미국 작가 에드거 앨런 포(Edgar Allan Poe)(1809~1849)의 단편 소설입니다. 작품에는 감염되자마자 30분 만에 사망하는 정체불명의 전염병(plague), 일명 적사병(Red Death)을 피해 오직 천 명의 국민만을 추려 수도원(the abbey)으로 스스로 고립된 프로스페로 왕자(Prince Prospero)가 등장합니다. 그가 거주하는 수도원에는 각기 다른 콘셉트로 꾸며진 7개의 방이 있으며, 성 밖에서 국민들이 숨을 거두고 있을 때 화려한 음악과 함께 매일같이 가장무도회(a masquerade ball)를 개최하는 모습은 그 자체로 으스스합니다……. 과연 포는 프로스페로 왕자와 그의 일행들에게 영원히 행복한 삶을 선사할까요? 글쎄요, 그렇진 않을 것 같네요……. 테마여행신문 TTN Korea 영어고전(English Classics)과 함께 어제도, 오늘도, 내일도 멋진 문학여행을! B ▶ But the Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious. When his dominions were half depopulated, he summoned to his presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of his court, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of his castellated abbeys. This was an extensive and magnificent structure, the creation of the prince’s own eccentric yet august taste. A strong and lofty wall girdled it in. This wall had gates of iron. The courtiers, having entered, brought furnaces and massy hammers and welded the bolts. ▷ 하지만 프로스페로 왕자는 행복하고 용감하며 현명했습니다. 그의 영토가 절반의 인구가 감소했을 때, 그는 그의 궁정의 기사들과 딸들 사이에서 천 명의 금발이고 가벼운 친구들을 그의 앞에 불러들였고, 그들과 함께 그의 성스러운 수도원 중 한 명의 깊은 은둔지로 은퇴했습니다. 이것은 광범위하고 웅장한 건축물로, 왕자의 기이하면서도 고귀한 취향을 만들어냈습니다. 튼튼하고 높은 벽이 그것을 감쌌습니다. 이 벽에는 철문이 있었습니다. 궁정들은 들어간 후 용광로와 거대한 망치를 가져와 볼트를 용접했습니다. ▶ They resolved to leave means neither of ingress nor egress to the sudden impulses of despair or of frenzy from within. The abbey was amply provisioned. With such precautions the courtiers might bid defiance to contagion. The external world could take care of itself. In the meantime it was folly to grieve, or to think. The prince had provided all the appliances of pleasure. There were buffoons, there were improvisatori, there were ballet-dancers, there were musicians, there was Beauty, there was wine. All these and security were within. Without was the “Red Death”. ▷ 그들은 절망의 갑작스러운 충동이나 내부로부터의 광란에 대한 진입이나 퇴장을 의미하지 않기로 결정했습니다. 수도원은 충분히 공급되었습니다. 그러한 예방 조치로 신하들은 전염병에 저항할 수 있습니다. 외부 세계는 스스로를 돌볼 수 있습니다. 그동안 슬퍼하거나 생각하는 것은 어리석은 일이었습니다. 왕자는 쾌락의 모든 기구를 제공했습니다. 광대, 즉흥 연주, 발레 댄서, 음악가, 미녀, 와인이 있었습니다. 이 모든 것과 보안이 내부에 있었습니다. "적사병"이 없었습니다. ▶ 적사병(Red Death)이 뭐야?! : 적사병(Red Death)은 적사병의 가면극(1842)에서 감염되자마자 30분 만에 사망하는 정체불명의 전염병(plague)을 일컫는 표현입니다만, 실제로 존재하는 질병은 아닙니다. 우리에게 친숙한 흑사병(黑死病, Black Death)을 살짝 변형한 것으로 추정됩니다. 질병의 이름 자체가 ‘죽음(Death)’을 뜻한다는 것은 그 자체로 스포일러가 되는데, 이 때문에 가장무도회에 등장하는 적사병(Red Death)에 대한 다양한 해석이 가능하지요. 실체 없이 붉은 가면을 쓴 그의 정체는 과연 무엇일까요?! ▶ The “Red Death” had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal—the redness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men. And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease, were the incidents of half an hour. ▷ "적사병"은 오랫동안 이 나라를 황폐화시켰습니다. 어떤 역병도 그렇게 치명적이거나 끔찍한 적이 없었습니다. 피는 그것의 아바타이자 그것의 도장, 즉 피의 붉은색과 공포였습니다. 심한 통증과 갑작스러운 현기증, 그리고 모공에서 출혈이 심하고 용출이 있었습니다. 시신과 특히 피해자의 얼굴에 묻은 주홍색 얼룩은 그를 원조와 동료들의 동정으로부터 격리시킨 해충 금지령이었습니다. 그리고 모든 발작, 병의 진행과 종식은 단 30분이었습니다. ▶ 적사병을 피해 달아났으나, 역설적으로 스스로를 수도원에 가둔 프로스페로 왕자(Prince Prospero)는 어리석은 인간에 대한 비유일 것입니다. 프로스페로이 익숙하신 분이 계시다면, 윌리엄 셰익스피어(William Shakespeare)(1564~1616)의 템페스트(The Tempest)(1610)를 떠올리실 것입니다. 템페스트의 프로스페로는 동생 안토니오에게 추방당한 밀라노의 공작으로, 폭풍으로 인해 표류한 안토니오에게 복수한 후 다시 나폴리로 금의환향하는 인물입니다. 해피엔딩을 맞은 셰익스피어의 템페스트와 달리 적사병의 가면극(1842)의 프로스페로에겐 편안한 죽음이 허락되지 않았습니다. ▶ And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night. And one by one dropped the revellers in the blood-bedewed halls of their revel, and died each in the despairing posture of his fall. And the life of the ebony clock went out with that of the last of the gay. And the flames of the tripods expired. And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all. ▷ 그리고 이제 적사병의 존재가 인정되었습니다. 그는 밤중에 도둑처럼 왔습니다. 그리고 하나둘씩 그들의 흥청망청 피로 물든 홀에 경배자들을 떨어뜨렸고, 그가 쓰러졌을 때의 절망적인 자세로 각각 죽었습니다. 흑단시계의 삶은 마지막 게이들의 삶과 함께 사라졌습니다. 그리고 삼각대의 불꽃은 사라졌습니다. 그리고 어둠과 부패와 붉은 죽음이 모든 것을 무한히 지배했습니다. -목차(Index)- ▶ 프롤로그(Prologue). 테마여행신문 TTN Korea 영어고전(English Classics) 999선을 읽어야 하는 7가지 이유 ▶ 14가지 키워드로 읽는 에드거 앨런 포(Edgar Allan Poe)(1809~1849) 01. 술에 취해 단명한 알코올 중독자, 에드거 앨런 포(Edgar Allan Poe)(1809~1849) 02. 낸터킷의 아서 고든 핌의 이야기(The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket)(1838) 02-1. 남극의 신비(An Antarctic Mystery)(1897) & 광기의 산맥(At the Mountains of Madness)(1931) 03. 추리 소설의 원조 모르그 가의 살인사건(The Murders in the Rue Morgue)(1841) 04. 황금충(黃金蟲, The Gold-Bug)(1843) 05. 에드거 앨런 포 상(The Edgar Allan Poe Awards)(1946~) 06. 갈가마귀(The Raven)(1845) & 애너벨 리(Annabel Lee)(1849) 07. 에드거 앨런 포(Edgar Allan Poe)와 아서 코난 도일(Arthur Conan Doyle)을 합하면? 명탐정 코난(名探偵 コナン)(1994~현재)! 08. 매튜 펄(Matthew Pearl) 포의 그림자(The Poe Shadow)(2006) 09. 영화 더 레이븐(The Raven)(2012) 10. 뮤지컬 에드거 앨런 포(Edagar Alan Poe)(2017~2019) 11. 에드거 앨런 포(Edgar Allan Poe)를 만나는 장소 TOP16 12. 오디오북(Audio Books)으로 듣는 에드거 앨런 포(Edgar Allan Poe) 13. 에드거 앨런 포(Edgar Allan Poe) 어록(Quotes)(100) ▶ 에드거 앨런 포의 적사병의 가면극(The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe)(1842) ▷ THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH ▶ 부록(Appendix). 세계의 고전을 여행하는 히치하이커를 위한 안내서(The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Worlds’s Classics) A01. 하버드 서점(Harvard Book Store) 직원 추천 도서 100선(Staff’s Favorite 100 Books) & 판매도서 100위(Top 100 Books) A02. 서울대(Seoul University) 권장도서 100 A03. 연세대(Yonsei University) 필독도서 고전 200선 A04. 고려대(Korea University) 세종캠퍼스 권장도서 100선 A05. 서울대·연세대·고려대(SKY University) 공통 권장도서 60권 A06. 성균관대(Sungkyunkwan University) 오거서(五車書) 성균 고전 100선 A07. 경희대(Kyung Hee University) 후마니타스 칼리지(Humanitas College) 교양필독서 100선 A08. 포스텍(포항공대)(POSTECH) 권장도서 100선 A09. 카이스트(KAIST) 독서마일리지제 추천도서 100권 A10. 문학상(Literary Awards) 수상작 및 추천도서(44) A11. 영어고전(English Classics) 오디오북을 무료로 듣는 5가지 방법(How to listen to FREE audio Books legally?)

In Edgar Allan Poe's only novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, the reader is immersed in a harrowing tale of adventure and survival at sea. Set against the backdrop of the 19th century maritime exploration, the book masterfully blends elements of gothic fiction with psychological terror and philosophical inquiry. As Pym embarks on a tumultuous journey involving shipwrecks, cannibals, and an unsettling descent into the unknown, Poe's trademark style emerges: rich, atmospheric prose that captures both the external perils and internal conflicts of the protagonist. The novel also serves as a precursor to modern adventure and horror narratives, showcasing Poe's exploratory themes of existential dread and the sublime, while offering biting social commentary on contemporary society's fears and anxieties regarding the vast, uncharted territories of both land and spirit. Edgar Allan Poe, a pioneer in the American literary canon, drew inspiration from his own tumultuous life experiences, which included personal loss, financial struggles, and a deep fascination with the macabre. Born in 1809 and having faced adversity throughout his life, Poe's unique perspective informs his writing, particularly in The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym. His fascination with the unknown and the human psyche, influenced by Romanticism, found an ultimate expression in this novel, intertwining his existential musings with thrilling adventures. This novel is a must-read for anyone intrigued by the darker sides of human nature and the mysteries that engulf us. Poe's exploration of fear, isolation, and the unknown invites readers to confront their own thresholds of adventure, beckoning them into a world of existential inquiry and eerie wonder. Readers of gothic literature, adventure tales, and psychological thrillers will find Pym's journey unforgettable and profoundly reflective. In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience: - An Introduction draws the threads together, discussing why these diverse authors and texts belong in one collection. - Historical Context explores the cultural and intellectual currents that shaped these works, offering insight into the shared (or contrasting) eras that influenced each writer. - A combined Synopsis (Selection) briefly outlines the key plots or arguments of the included pieces, helping readers grasp the anthology's overall scope without giving away essential twists. - A collective Analysis highlights common themes, stylistic variations, and significant crossovers in tone and technique, tying together writers from different backgrounds. - Reflection questions encourage readers to compare the different voices and perspectives within the collection, fostering a richer understanding of the overarching conversation.

"The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is a quick tale through Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham''s Magazine in 1841. It has been claimed because the first detective tale; Poe cited it as one among his "memories of ratiocination". Similar works predate Poe''s stories, which include Das Fräulein von Scuderi (1819) by way of E.T.A. Hoffmann and Zadig (1748) by Voltaire. C. Auguste Dupin is a man in Paris who solves the mysterious brutal homicide of women. Numerous witnesses heard a suspect, although no one has the same opinion on what language changed into spoken. At the homicide scene, Dupin reveals a hair that does not seem like human. As the first actual detective in fiction, the Dupin individual installed many literary gadgets which might be used in future fictional detectives including Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. Many later characters, for example, comply with Poe''s model of the first rate detective, his private pal who serves as narrator, and the final revelation being presented earlier than the reasoning that leads up to it. Dupin himself reappears in "The Mystery of Marie Roget" and "The Purloined Lett

The Philosophy of Composition (1846) is an essay by Edgar Allan Poe. Recognized as a foundational figure of nineteenth century fiction, Poe has inspired generations of readers and writers with his craftsmanship and taste for tragedy and terror. His brief but meteoric career shaped the trajectory of American literature forever, forming a legacy without which science fiction, horror, and detective writing would surely be shells of themselves. Published only three years before his untimely death, the essay appeared in an April 1846 issue of Graham’s American Monthly Magazine of Literature and Art, whose editor had previously made the mistake of turning down “The Raven.” Both influential and controversial, Poe’s essay on craft was intended as a dismissal of the myth of spontaneous art, arguing instead that a true artist depends upon attention to detail and adherence to a logical creative process. Using his own poetic masterpiece as an example, Poe claims that the writer must maintain “unity of effect” throughout the work in order to inspire the intended emotional response in the reader. Once this element has been set in place, the writer may proceed with the more technical aspects of composition, such as characters, setting, and plot. Although Poe’s essay drew the ire of Anglo-American poet T. S. Eliot, it was immensely popular among Poe’s Francophone audience and served as inspiration for such artists as Maurice Ravel and Charles Baudelaire. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Philosophy of Composition is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.

Set on Sullivan''s Island, South Carolina, the plot follows William Legrand, who was recently bitten by a gold-colored bug. His servant Jupiter fears Legrand is going insane and goes to Legrand''s friend, an unnamed narrator who agrees to visit his old friend. Legrand pulls the other two into an adventure after deciphering a secret message that will lead to a buried treasure.

The story follows many traditions of Gothic fiction and is often analyzed as an allegory about the inevitability of death, though some critics advise against an allegorical reading.

"The Cask of Amontillado" is a classic revenge story where an insulted man, Montresor, exacts his vengeance upon the drunk Fortunato. Just like "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Black Cat", Poe offers the perspective to the perpetrator of the vile deed, who descends into madness with every step of his narrative. What begins like a normal wine-tasting journey is about to become a sinister plunge into oblivion, as Montresor’s insulted, yet clearly mad psyche, leads his victim to the very bowels of hell. The story has inspired numerous adaptations in terms of movies, music, stage performances, and even children books. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American poet, author, and literary critic.

Inspired by the developments in cryptography and the gradually emerging detective fiction, "The Gold-Bug" surely got mixed critical reception from the public. Hailed as both "ingenious" and "trashy", the story’s influence cannot be neglected, and surely Robert Louis Stevenson’s "Treasure Island" can vouch for that. What is more, the use of cipher in the story brought to the fore the interest in puzzles and hidden objects that would later be developed into board and video games.

"The Pit and the Pendulum" is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe and first published in 1842. The story is about the torments endured by a prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition, though Poe skews historical facts. The narrator of the story is deemed guilty for an unnamed crime and put into a completely dark room. He passes out while trying to determine the size of the room. When he wakes up, he realizes there is a large, deep pit in the middle of the room. He loses consciousness again and awakens strapped on his back, unable to move more than his head. He soon realizes there is a large blade-like pendulum hanging above him, slowly getting closer to cutting through his chest. He finds a way to escape but the walls of his prison start to move and close in on him, pushing him closer and closer to falling into the pit.The story is especially effective at inspiring fear in the reader because of its heavy focus on the senses, such as sound, emphasizing its reality, unlike many of Poe''s stories which are aided by the supernatural. The traditional elements established in popular horror tales at the time are followed but critical reception has been mixed.

Plot Summary: The story is introduced with the epigraph "Ce grand malheur, de ne pouvoir être seul" -- a quote taken from The Characters of Man by Jean de La Bruyère. It translates to This great misfortune, of not being able to be alone. This same quote is used in Poe''s earliest tale, "Metzengerstein". After an unnamed illness, the unnamed narrator sits in an unnamed coffee shop in London. Fascinated by the crowd outside the window, he considers how isolated people think they are, despite "the very denseness of the company around". He takes time to categorize the different types of people he sees. As evening falls, the narrator focuses on "a decrepit old man, some sixty-five or seventy years of age", whose face has a peculiar idiosyncrasy, and whose body "was short in stature, very thin, and apparently very feeble" wearing filthy, ragged clothes of a "beautiful texture". The narrator dashes out of the coffee shop to follow the man from afar. The man leads the narrator through bazaars and shops, buying nothing, and into a poorer part of the city, then back into "the heart of the mighty London". This chase lasts through the evening and into the next day. Finally, exhausted, the narrator stands in front of the man, who still does not notice him. The narrator concludes the man is "the type and genius of deep crime" due to his inscrutability and inability to leave the crowds of London.

Unabridged (100% Original content) Font adjustments & biography included Illustrated About The Fall Of The House Of Usher: By Edgar Allan Poe The story begins with the unnamed narrator arriving at the house of his friend, Roderick Usher, having received a letter from him in a distant part of the country complaining of an illness and asking for his help. As he arrives, the narrator notes a thin crack extending from the roof, down the front of the building and into the lake. Although Poe wrote this short story before the invention of modern psychological science, Roderick''s condition can be described according to its terminology. It includes a form of sensory overload known as hyperesthesia (hypersensitivity to textures, light, sounds, smells and tastes), hypochondria (an excessive preoccupation or worry about having a serious illness) and acute anxiety. It is revealed that Roderick''s twin sister, Madeline, is also ill and falls into cataleptic, deathlike trances. The narrator is impressed with Roderick''s paintings, and attempts to cheer him by reading with him and listening to his improvised musical compositions on the guitar. Roderick sings "The Haunted Palace", then tells the narrator that he believes the house he lives in to be alive, and that this sentience arises from the arrangement of the masonry and vegetation surrounding it.

"The Black Cat" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe. It was first published in the August 19, 1843, edition of The Saturday Evening Post. It is a study of the psychology of guilt, often paired in analysis with Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart". In both, a murderer carefully conceals his crime and believes himself unassailable, but eventually breaks down and reveals himself, impelled by a nagging reminder of his guilt.

The narrator explains at length his theory on which he believes causes people to commit acts against their self-interest. This essay-like discussion is presented objectively, though the narrator admits that he is "one of the many uncounted victims of the "Imp of the Perverse". He then explains how his conviction for murder was the result of this. The narrator murders a man using a candle that emits a poisonous vapor. The victim enjoyed reading in bed at night and, using the candle for illumination, dies in his poorly-ventilated room. No evidence is left behind, causing the coroner to believe the man's death is an act of God. The narrator inherits the man's estate and, knowing he can never be caught, enjoys the benefits of his murderous act for many years... (Excerpt from Wikipedia)

The story follows a man of noble descent who calls himself William Wilson because, although denouncing his past, he does not accept responsibilities blame for his actions, saying that "man was never thus [...] tempted before". After several paragraphs, the narration then segues into a description of Wilson's boyhood, which was spent in a school "in a misty-looking village of England." William meets another boy in his school who shared the same name, who had roughly the same appearance, and who was even born on exactly the same date. William's name (he asserts that his actual name is only similar to "William Wilson") embarrasses him because it sounds "plebeian" or common, and he is irked that he must hear the name twice as much on account of the other William...
