Berenice y otros cuentos de muerte y resurrecion

by Edgar Allan Poe

Overview

Existen personas en esta vida que no están hechas para padecer la luz del día. Estas personalidades nocturnas se maravillan ante lo absoluto de las tinieblas y se esmeran por sondear los misterios que en ella se ocultan. Pero, en el camino, suelen toparse con secretos que se resisten a toda explicación. ¿Es la muerte el final de todo? No lo sabemos, pero hay quienes piensan que el fin de la vida no implica el final de la existencia, que es posible superar las vicisitudes del tiempo y escapar a la sempiterna duda que nos suscita aquello que nos espera después del último suspiro. Desde las profundidades de la tumba y escarbando a través de la tierra para emerger una vez más, nos llegan estos relatos de Edgar Allan Poe, aclamado cuentista estadounidense especialmente reconocido por sus cuentos de terror y por ser el creador del relato policial. En este volumen recopilamos sus más famosos relatos de muerte y resurrección, al igual que los tres cuentos protagonizados por C. Auguste Dupin; el afamado investigador noctámbulo.

About the Author

Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) was orphaned at the age of three and adopted by a wealthy Virginia family with whom he had a troubled relationship. He excelled in his studies of language and literature at school, and self-published his first book, Tamerlane and Other Poems, in 1827. In 1830, Poe embarked on a career as a writer and began contributing reviews and essays to popular periodicals. He also wrote sketches and short fiction, and in 1833 published his only completed novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. Over the next five years he established himself as a master of the short story form through the publication of "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Masque of the Red Death," "The Tell-Tale Heart," and other well–known works. In 1841, he wrote "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," generally considered the first modern detective story. The publication of The Raven and Other Poems in 1845 brought him additional fame as a poet.
