1Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket

By Edgar Allan Poe

The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket is Edgar Allan Poe’s only complete novel, published in 1838.<br><br>The work relates the tale of the young Arthur Gordon Pym who stows away aboard a whaling ship called Grampus. Various adventures and mis-adventures befall Pym including shipwreck, mutiny and cannibalism. The story starts out as a fairly conventional adventure at sea, but it becomes increasingly strange and hard to classify in later chapters, involving religious symbolism and the Hollow Earth.

2Raven

By Edgar Allan Poe

Perhaps Edgar Allen Poe's most famous poem, the "Raven" is a macabre exploration of a man, his memories of Lenore, and the black bird that interrupts his studies on a dark December night, with tap-tap-tapping at his chamber door. (Summary by Hugh)

Edgar Allan Poe (1809 - 1849) is widely famed as one of the greatest writers of all time. He is best known for his works of horror, such as "The Tell Tale Heart." However, and this is less known, Poe also wrote many love poems. In this collection of forty-eight poems by Edgar Allan Poe we will go through a wide variety of themes, from horror and raw creepiness in "The Raven" to pure love in "A Valentine" to depression in "Alone." Throughout all of his poems Poe kept a very strong meter and rhyme scheme. This is most obvious in "The Bells." (Summary by Shurtagal)

17Raven and Other Poems

By Edgar Allan Poe

"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping — rapping at my chamber door. "Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door — Only this and nothing more."". Those sonorous and somber words of Edgar Allan Poe that begin The Raven are part of most everyone's fond educational memories. Beautiful and haunting to hear and even more fun to read aloud. In this recording I have just attempted to express my enjoyment of the beauty in some favorite Poe poems. Beside The Raven, there are Alone; A Dream Within A Dream; Annabel Lee; City In the Sea; The Bells; A Dream Within a Dream; Annabel Lee; Dreamland; Evening Star; Lenore; Eldorado; A Valentine and "The Happiest Day". Hopefully listeners will enjoy hearing them half as much as I enjoyed the selfish pleasure of recording them. (Summary by Phil Chenevert)

18Six Creepy Stories by Edgar Allan Poe

By Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe has the ability to manipulate language so well that he could engage my imagination and get me terrified even though little was 'done' in the sense of horrible actions described. My imagination, under the power of his creepy words, conjured the atmosphere and did the rest by itself. In this recording I've chosen some of his stories that succeed so well in leaving lingering hair raising memories with me: The Telltale Heart; The Masque of the Red Death; The Black Cat; The Raven, the Casque of Amontillado and Berenice. I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I did reading them. (Summary by phil chenevert)

22Murders in the Rue Morgue (version 2)

By Edgar Allan Poe

"The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is a story by Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham's Magazine in 1841. It has been recognized as the first detective story; Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination".<br /> C. Auguste Dupin is a man in Paris who solves the mystery of the brutal murder of two women. Numerous witnesses heard a suspect, though no one agrees on what language was spoken. At the murder scene, Dupin finds a hair that does not appear to be human.<br /> Writing the first true detective in fiction, Poe's Dupin originated many literary conventions which would be used in future fictional detectives including Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. Many later characters, for example, follow Poe's model of the brilliant detective, his personal friend who serves as narrator, and the final revelation being presented before the reasoning that leads up to it. Dupin himself reappears in "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt" and "The Purloined Letter". (summary from Wikipedia)

30Cuentos Clásicos del Norte, Primera Serie

By Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe nació en Boston, Massachusetts, el 19 de enero de 1809, durante una permanencia temporal de sus padres, que eran actores, en la ciudad; murió en Báltimore, Máryland, el 7 de octubre de 1869. A la muerte de su madre fué adoptado por John Allan, de Ríchmond, Virginia, quien le hizo educar en un colegio particular de Ríchmond y en la Manor House School, Stoke-Néwington, Inglaterra, hasta 1820, época en que regresó a Ríchmond. En 1826 ingresó a la University of Virginia. Durante su breve permanencia allí hízose famoso por sus temerarias hazañas de jugador y bebedor. Su protector le asoció a sus negocios en diciembre de 1826, pero el joven escapó a Boston donde trató de sostenerse con sus poesías, de las cuales el primer volumen, publicado en 1827, se titula: Tamerlane and Other Poems. Acosado por la necesidad, se alistó como soldado en el ejército regular, bajo el nombre de Édgar A. Perry, siendo nombrado sargento mayor en 1829. No obstante, su padre adoptivo Allan hizo que le dieran de baja y que fuera admitido como cadete en West Point. No agraciándole la escuela, procuró intencionalmente que le despidieran en 1831, y comenzó una vida irregular, vagando de ciudad en ciudad y dedicándose a la literatura. En 1835 contrajo matrimonio con Virginia Clemm, y se hizo cargo de la dirección del Southern Literary Messenger de Richmond. Más tarde fué director de varias revistas, fijando su residencia en Nueva York en 1844. La publicación de The Raven (1845) consagró su fama convirtiéndole en el genio literario de la época. Después de la muerte de su mujer en 1847 comenzó a declinar su carrera, y murió dos años más tarde en el Washington College Hospital en estado de delirio. Sus obras más importantes, en adición a las mencionadas en la Introducción de esta serie, son: Al Warwaf, Tamerlane and Minor Poems (1829); Poems (1831); Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque (1840).

35Raven and The Philosophy Of Composition

By Edgar Allan Poe

Poe’s famous narrative poem and the author’s reflections on its composition. (David Wales)

La ficción detectivesca es un subgénero de la novela negra, y paradójicamente también su antecesor. Básicamente podemos definirla como una historia lineal en donde un investigador, oficial o aficionado, estudia un crimen determinado, a menudo un asesinato. El primer detective reconocido mundialmente fue C. Auguste Dupin, de E.A. Poe. Su perfil definió lo que el lector espera de un investigador: intelectualmente brillante, excéntrico, solitario, sin apegos emocionales de ningún tipo. Algunas décadas después, más precisamente en 1887, aparecería otro ícono del cuento de detectives: Sherlock Holmes, de Arthur Conan Doyle. En el género policíaco los seres y objetos situados en el espacio literario están puestos con algún fin concreto, nada es aleatorio, porque todo va dirigido a un fin determinado que es la resolución del enigma presentado, y, además, todos son signos que deben ser interpretados por el detective y, en el caso de los relatos clásicos, también por el lector. En este sentido, los espacios se presentan en la novela por medio de las sensaciones y consiguientes interpretaciones de los mismos por parte de la mirada subjetiva del narrador —ya sea el acompañante del detective, que se limitará a hablar del caso y de lo relacionado con éste a través de las interpretaciones que el detective comparte con él y de las suyas propias, ya el propio detective, que a través de su mirada nos sumergirá en el mundo narrativo, o bien un narrador heterodiegético omnisciente— y de los personajes. En este sentido, la disposición del espacio en el relato y las relaciones que se establecen entre éste y los personajes da lugar a la percepción subjetiva que se expresa a través de la mirada, que constituirá la sensación más trascendente en la interpretación de la realidad narrativa y de los signos que dan coherencia a la historia. Summary by Phileas Fogg

37Haunted Palace

By Edgar Allan Poe

"The Haunted Palace" originally issued in the Baltimore American Museum for April, 1888, was subsequently embodied in that much admired tale, "The Fall of the House of Usher," and published in it in Burton's Gentleman's Magazine for September, 1839. It reappeared in that as a separate poem in the 1845 edition of Poe's poems. (Note on <i>The Haunted House</i> from <i>The Complete Poetical Works of Edgar Allan Poe</i>)

38Poemas

By Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe (19 de enero de 1809 - 7 de octubre de 1849), escritor romántico estadounidense, cuentista, poeta, crítico y editor, unánimemente reconocido como uno de los maestros universales del relato breve. Es considerado el padre del cuento de terror psicológico y del short story en su país. A pesar que Poe es reconocido hasta a la actualidad por sus grandiosas obras de terror psicológico, tiene también entre su basta literatura obras como la presente, en la que contrariamente a lo que reflejaba su natural escritura, nos encontramos con su lado mas sensible, esto es su poesía. Algunas críticas negativas respecto de los poemas de Poe indican que existe una gran diferencia entre este tipo de verso y la narrativa de sus cuentos cortos de terror, sin embargo Poe ha sabido reflejar en sus poemas una hermosa musicalidad, las que se pueden ver reflejada en poemas como Las campanas y Annabel Lee, así mismo, para cerrar con broche de oro, nos narra el poema (que bien pudiera pasar como relato corto) El Cuervo, que sin duda alguna ha sido uno de los mas halagados, en el que se ve reflejado su innato talento para la intriga psicológica. El presente libro consta de 29 poemas. ​ Summary by KendalRigans.

39Eureka: A Prose Poem

By Edgar Allan Poe

Eureka is Poe's attempt at explaining the universe, using his general proposition "Because Nothing was, therefore All Things are". In it, Poe discusses man's relationship to God and the universe or, as he offers at the beginning: "I design to speak of the Physical, Metaphysical and Mathematical – of the Material and Spiritual Universe: of its Essence, its Origin, its Creation, its Present Condition and its Destiny". In keeping with this design, Poe concludes "that space and duration are one" and that matter and spirit are made of the same essence. - Summary by Wikipedia

Cuando todos nos hubimos tranquilizado, nos pusimos a mirar la nave que se alejaba, hasta que se perdió de vista. El tiempo empeoraba y soplaba un ligero viento. En el preciso momento en que el buque desapareció en el horizonte, Parker se volvió hacia mí con una expresión en la cara que me dio escalofríos. Tenía un aire de seguridad y entereza que nunca le había observado. Antes de que despegara los labios, yo tenía el pálpito de lo que iba a decirme. En una palabra, insinuó que uno de nosotros debía morir con el fin de salvar a los demás. - Summary by Wikipedia

43Complete Poetical Works of Edgar Allan Poe

By Edgar Allan Poe

In placing before the public this collection of Edgar Poe's poetical works, it is requisite to point out in what respects it differs from, and is superior to, the numerous collections which have preceded it. Until recently, all editions, whether American or English, of Poe's poems have been verbatim reprints of the first posthumous collection, published at New York in 1850.<br><br>In 1874 I began drawing attention to the fact that unknown and unreprinted poetry by Edgar Poe was in existence. Most, if not all, of the specimens issued in my articles have since been reprinted by different editors and publishers, but the present is the first occasion on which all the pieces referred to have been garnered into one sheaf. Besides the poems thus alluded to, this volume will be found to contain many additional pieces and extra stanzas, nowhere else published or included in Poe's works. Such verses have been gathered from printed or manuscript sources during a research extending over many years.<br><br>In addition to the new poetical matter included in this volume, attention should, also, be solicited on behalf of the notes, which will be found to contain much matter, interesting both from biographical and bibliographical points of view. - Summary by John H.

LibriVox volunteers bring you 27 recordings of The Forest Reverie by Edgar Allan Poe.<br> This was the Weekly Poetry project for January 2, 2022.<br> -----<br> Whilst Edgar Poe was editor of the <i>Broadway Journal</i>, some poems were published over the signature of "A. M. Ide". In order, doubtless, to give a show of variety, Poe was then publishing some of his known works in his journal over noms de plume, and as no other writings whatever can be traced to any person bearing the name of "A. M. Ide," it is not impossible that the poems now republished in this collection may be by the author of "The Raven." Having been published without his usual elaborate revision, Poe may have wished to hide his hasty work under an assumed name. - Summary by John H. Ingram, from the Gutenberg text
