Since their first publication in the 1830s and 1840s, Edgar Allan Poe's extraordinary Gothic tales have established themselves as classics of horror fiction and have also created many of the conventions which still dominate the genre of detective fiction. As well as being highly enjoyable, Poe's tales are works of very real intellectual exploration. Attentive to the historical and political dimensions of these very American tales, this new selection places the most popular -- `The Fall of the House of Usher', `The Masque of the Red Death', `The Murders in the Rue Morgue; and `The Purloined Letter' -- alongside less well-known travel narratives, metaphysical essays and political satires.

▶ 어셔가의 몰락(The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe)(1839)은 미국 작가 에드거 앨런 포(Edgar Allan Poe)(1809~1849)가 버튼스 젠틀맨 매거진(Burton's Gentleman's Magazine)(1839)을 통해 최초로 발표한 단편 소설(short story)이자 고딕 소설(Gothic fiction)로 1840년 그로테스크와 아라베스크 이야기(Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque) 컬렉션에 포함된 바 있습니다. 몰락한 저택에서의 고립(isolation)과 광기(madness)에 시달리는 환자, 쌍둥이 남매와 이로 인해 흔들리는 형이상학적 정체성(metaphysical identities)까지……. 짧은 단편이지만, 두려움(feelings of fear)으로 고통 받는 캐릭터, 임박한 운명(impending doom)과 이에 대한 자기 성취적 예언(own self-fulfilling prophecy), 인간으로써 피할 수 없는 죄책감(guilt) 등 작가 포의 정체성(Poe's “totality”)을 두루 갖추고 있는 작품으로 평가됩니다. ▷ 출간된 후 영화 La Chute de la maison Usher(1928)를 비롯해 오페라 La chute de la maison Usher(1988), The Fall of the House of Usher(1991), 단막극 The Fall of the House of Usher(2002), 뮤지컬 Usher(2008), 소설 What Moves the Dead(2022) 등으로 재창조되었습니다. 무려 183년 전의 작품이지만, 지난 2021년 넷플릭스는 동명 원작의 8부작 시리즈를 제작한다고 발표한 바 있습니다. 자, 에드거 앨런 포가 창조한 세계, 어셔가(the House of Usher)로 독자 여러분을 초대합니다!! 테마여행신문 TTN Korea 영어고전(English Classics)과 함께 어제도, 오늘도, 내일도 멋진 문학여행을! B ▶ 어셔가(the House of Usher)가 실존한다구?! : 미국 매사추세츠주 보스턴(Boston, Massachusetts)에 위치한 히즈키야 어셔 하우스(Hezekiah Usher House)에서 밝혀진 기묘한 사건은 에드거 앨런 포에게 영감을 주었으리라 추측되는 강력한 실존 사례로 거론됩니다. 1684년 건축된 저택은 (작가가 21세인) 1830년 철거되었는데, 당시 지하실에서 두 구의 시신이 서로 끌어안은 채 발견되었습니다. 그들은 집주인의 젊은 아내와 어느 선원으로 추정됩니다. ▶ 작품에는 오랜 역사와 막대한 재산을 지니고 있으나, 불과 두 명의 남매만이 남아 있는 어셔가(the House of Usher)가 등장합니다. 오빠 로데릭 오셔(Roderick Usher)은 큰 병에 걸리자 어렸을 적의 친구인 화자를 자신의 집으로 초청하고, 화자 또한 오랜 세월이 지났음에도 불구하고 선뜻 이를 받아들입니다. 화자가 어셔가를 방문하면서 왠지 모르게 우울하면서도 음침한 이야기가 시작되지요……. ▶ In this there was much that reminded me of the specious totality of old wood-work which has rotted for long years in some neglected vault, with no disturbance from the breath of the external air. Beyond this indication of extensive decay, however, the fabric gave little token of instability. Perhaps the eye of a scrutinizing observer might have discovered a barely perceptible fissure, which, extending from the roof of the building in front, made its way down the wall in a zigzag direction, until it became lost in the sullen waters of the tarn. ▷ 여기에는 외부 공기의 숨결로 인한 방해 없이 방치된 일부 금고에서 오랜 세월 동안 썩어가던 오래된 목공예품의 거창한 전체성을 상기시키는 것이 많이 있었습니다. 그러나 광범위한 붕괴의 징후를 넘어서는 직물은 불안정성의 징후를 거의 나타내지 않았습니다. 면밀히 관찰하는 관찰자의 눈은 앞 건물의 지붕에서 뻗어 나와 지그재그 방향으로 벽을 따라 내려가 늪의 음산한 물에 빠질 때까지 거의 감지할 수 없는 균열을 발견했을 것입니다. ▶ 화자는 로데릭과 쌍둥이 남매인 마델린(Madeline)의 매장을 도운 후 닥친 폭풍으로 인해 로데릭과 저택에서 함께 시간을 보냅니다. 책을 읽고, 음악을 듣는 것 외에는 별다를 것 없는 일상이지만, 로데릭의 증세는 점차 심각해지기만 하는데...?! 대체 로데릭에게만 들린다는 소음의 정체는 무엇일까요?! 짧은 작품이지만, 작품 내에 로데릭이 노래하는 유령의 궁전(The Haunted Palace)과 작가가 창조한 론슬릿 캐닝 경(Sir Launcelot Canning)의 중세 기사소설 미친 트리스트(Mad Trist)가 교차되며 생동감과 긴박감을 더합니다!! ▶ As if in the superhuman energy of his utterance there had been found the potency of a spell, the huge antique panels to which the speaker pointed threw slowly back, upon the instant, their ponderous and ebony jaws. It was the work of the rushing gust—but then without those doors there did stand the lofty and enshrouded figure of the lady Madeline of Usher. There was blood upon her white robes, and the evidence of some bitter struggle upon every portion of her emaciated frame. For a moment she remained trembling and reeling to and fro upon the threshold—then, with a low moaning cry, fell heavily inward upon the person of her brother, and in her violent and now final death-agonies, bore him to the floor a corpse, and a victim to the terrors he had anticipated. ▷ 마치 그의 발언의 초인적인 에너지에서 주문의 힘이 발견되었듯이, 화자가 가리키는 거대한 골동품 패널은 그 순간 무겁고 흑단색 턱을 천천히 뒤로 던졌습니다. 그것은 돌진하는 돌풍의 작품이었습니다. 하지만 그 문들 없이 어셔의 매들린의 높고 웅장한 모습이 서 있었습니다. 그녀의 하얀 예복에는 피가 묻어 있었고, 그녀의 수척한 몸 구석구석에는 쓰라린 투쟁의 흔적이 있었습니다. 잠시 동안 그녀는 문턱에서 떨고 비틀거리며 남아 있었습니다. 그리고 나서 낮은 신음소리와 함께, 그녀의 오빠의 사람에게 무겁게 안쪽으로 떨어졌고, 그녀의 폭력적이고 이제 마지막 죽음의 고통 속에서, 그는 시체와 그가 예상했던 공포의 희생자가 되었습니다. -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 어셔가의 몰락(The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe)(1839) ▶ 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?)

The story follows a female narrator who, accompanied by her tiny poodle and 3-foot-tall servant, comes across a gothic cathedral whilst walking in a city. When she ascends to the top of the steeple, she attempts to look through a small opening with her servant’s aid. Pushing her head through the hole, she realises that she appears to be inside a large clock face, and that she is destined for a rather novel demise. A humorous satire of the popular Gothic tale, this short story is highly recommended or fans of Poe’s comical work, and would make for a fantastic addition to any collection. Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) was an American author, editor, poet, and critic.

Many antiquarian books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive.

Unabridged (100% Original content) Font adjustments & biography included Illustrated The Literary Life of Thingum Bob, Esq. by Edgar Allan Poe The Literary Life of Thingum Bob, Esq. was written in the year 1844 by Edgar Allan Poe. This book is one of the most popular novels of Edgar Allan Poe, and has been translated into several other languages around the world. Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston, Massachusetts on January 19, 1809. In 1827, he enlisted in the United States Army and his first collection of poems, Tamerlane and Other Poems, was published. In 1835, he became the editor of the Southern Literary Messenger. Over the next ten years, Poe would edit a number of literary journals including the Burton's Gentleman's Magazine and Graham's Magazine in Philadelphia and the Broadway Journal in New York City. It was during these years that he established himself as a poet, a short story writer, and an editor. His works include The Fall of the House of Usher, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Roget, A Descent into the Maelstrom, The Masque of the Red Death, and The Raven.

Unabridged (100% Original content) Font adjustments & biography included Illustrated Eureka: A Prose Poem by Edgar Allan Poe Eureka (1848) is a lengthy non-fiction work by American author Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) which he subtitled "A Prose Poem", though it has also been subtitled as "An Essay on the Material and Spiritual Universe". Adapted from a lecture he had presented, Eureka describes Poe's intuitive conception of the nature of the universe with no antecedent scientific work done to reach his conclusions. He also discusses man's relationship with God, whom he compares to an author. It is dedicated to the German naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859). Though it is generally considered a literary work, some of Poe's ideas anticipate 20th century scientific discoveries and theories. Indeed a critical analysis of the scientific content of Eureka reveals a non-causal correspondence with modern cosmology due to the assumption of an evolving Universe, but excludes the anachronistic anticipation of relativistic concepts such as black holes.Eureka was received poorly in Poe's day and generally described as absurd, even by friends. Modern critics continue to debate the significance of Eureka and some doubt its seriousness, in part because of Poe's many incorrect assumptions and his comedic descriptions of well-known historical minds. It is presented as a poem, and many compare it with his fiction work, especially science fiction stories such as "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar". His attempts at discovering the truth also follow his own tradition of "ratiocination", a term used in his detective fiction tales. Poe's suggestion that the soul continues to thrive even after death also parallels with works in which characters reappear from beyond the grave such as "Ligeia". The essay is oddly transcendental, considering Poe's disdain for that movement. He considered it his greatest work and claimed it was more important than the discovery of gravity.

Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Illustrated About Never Bet the Devil Your Head by Edgar Allan Poe "Never Bet the Devil Your Head" is a story by American author Edgar Allan Poe. The satirical tale pokes fun at the notion that all literature should have a moral and spoofs transcendentalism. Plot Summary: The narrator, presented as the author himself, is dismayed by literary critics saying that he has never written a moral tale. The narrator then begins telling the story of his friend Toby Dammit. Dammit is described as a man of many vices, at least in part due to his left-handed mother flogging him with her left hand, which is considered improper. Dammit often made rhetorical bets, becoming fond of the expression "I'll bet the devil my head". Though the narrator tries to break Dammit of bad habits, he fails. Nevertheless, the two remain friends. While traveling one day, they come across a covered bridge. It is gloomy and dark, lacking windows. Dammit, however, is unaffected by its gloom and is in an unusually good mood. As they cross the bridge, they are stopped by a turnstile partway across. Dammit bets the devil his head that he can leap over it. Before the narrator can reply, a cough alerts them to the presence of a little old man. The old man is interested in seeing if Dammit is capable of making such a leap and offers him a good running start. The narrator thinks to himself that it is improper for an old man to push Dammit into making the attempt -- "I don't care who the devil he is", he adds.

"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

This is the first murder mystery based on the details of a real crime. Plot Summary: Poe's detective character C. Auguste Dupin and his sidekick the unnamed narrator undertake the unsolved murder of Marie Roget in Paris. The body of Roget, a perfume shop employee, is found in the Seine River and the press takes a keen interest in the mystery. Dupin remarks that the newspapers "create a sensation, (rather) than to further the cause of truth". Even so, he uses the newspaper reports to get into the mind of the murderer. Dupin uses his skills of ratiocination to determine that a single murderer was involved who dragged her by the cloth belt around her waist at first, then switching to a cloth around her neck, before dumping her body off a boat into the river. Finding the boat, Dupin suggests, will lead the police to the murderer.

First published in January 1845, the poem is often noted for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man's slow fall into madness. The lover, often identified as being a student, is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. Sitting on a bust of Pallas, the raven seems to further instigate his distress with its constant repetition of the word "Nevermore". The poem makes use of a number of folk, mythological, religious, and classical references. Poe claimed to have written the poem very logically and methodically, intending to create a poem that would appeal to both critical and popular tastes, as he explained in his 1846 follow-up essay, "The Philosophy of Composition". The poem was inspired in part by a talking raven in the novel Barnaby Rudge: A Tale of the Riots of 'Eighty by Charles Dickens. Poe borrows the complex rhythm and meter of Elizabeth Barrett's poem "Lady Geraldine's Courtship", and makes use of internal rhyme as well as alliteration throughout.

Valdemar is a story by Edgar Allan Poe about a mesmerist who puts a man in a suspended hypnotic state at the moment of death. An example of a tale of suspense and horror, it is also, to a certain degree, a hoax, as it was published without claiming to be fictional, and many at the time of publication (1845) took it to be a factual account. Poe toyed with this for a while before admitting it was a work of pure fiction in his marginalia. Plot Summary: The narrator presents the facts of the extraordinary case of his friend Ernest Valdemar, which have incited public discussion. He is interested in mesmerism, a pseudoscience involving bringing a patient into a hypnagogic state by the influence of magnetism, a process that later developed into hypnotism. He points out that, as far as he knows, no one has ever been mesmerized at the point of death, and he is curious to see what effects mesmerism would have on a dying person. He considers experimenting on Valdemar, an author whom he had previously mesmerized, and who has recently been diagnosed with phthisis (tuberculosis). Valdemar consents to the experiment and informs the narrator by letter that his doctors expect him to die by midnight of the following evening. Valdemar's two physicians inform the narrator of their patient's poor condition. After confirming again that Valdemar is willing to be part of the experiment, the narrator comes back the next night with two nurses and a medical student as witnesses. Again, Valdemar insists he is willing to take part and asks the narrator to hurry, for fear he has "deferred it for too long". Valdemar is quickly mesmerized, just as the two physicians return and serve as additional witnesses. In a trance, he reports first that he is dying -- then that he is dead. The narrator leaves him in a mesmeric state for seven months, checking on him daily with the help of physicians and friends. During this time Valdemar is without pulse, heartbeat or perceptible breathing, his skin cold and pale.

Unabridged (100% Original content) Font adjustments & biography included Illustrated Metzengerstein by Edgar Allan Poe Metzengerstein was the first story by American writer and poet Edgar Allan Poe. Metzengerstein follows many conventions of Gothic fiction and, to some, exaggerates those conventions. Consequently, critics and scholars debate if Poe intended the story to be taken seriously or considered a satire of Gothic stories. Regardless, many elements introduced in "Metzengerstein" would become common in Poe's future writing, including the gloomy castle and the power of evil. Because the story follows an orphan raised in an aristocratic household, some critics suggest an autobiographical connection with its author. Plot Summary: The story, told from an unnamed third-person narrator, takes place in Hungary at an unspecified date. The opening passages describe a centuries-long rivalry between two wealthy families: the Metzengersteins and the Berlifitzings. The bitter enmity between the two families is so old that no one knows how far back it dates. The narrator states that its origin appears to rely on an "ancient" prophecy: "A lofty name shall have a fearful fall when, as the rider over his horse, the mortality of Metzengerstein shall triumph over the immortality of Berlifitzing." Young Frederick, Baron of Metzengerstein, was orphaned at a young age and, thus, inherited the family fortune at age 18. Equipped with enormous wealth and power, he begins to exhibit particularly cruel behavior. "The behavior of the heir out-heroded Herod". Four days after he receives his inheritance, the stables of the rival family Berlifitzing catch fire. The neighborhood "instantaneously" attributed the act of arson to Frederick Metzengerstein.

"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. Including..
