El cottage de landor: (low cost). Edición limitada

by Edgar Allan Poe

Overview

Durante una excursión a pie, que realicé el pasado verano a través de uno o dos de los condados ribereños de Nueva York, me encontré, al caer el día, un tanto desorientado acerca del camino que debía seguir. La tierra se ondulaba de un modo considerable y durante la última hora mi senda había dado vueltas y más vueltas de aquí para allá, tan confusamente en su esfuerzo por mantenerse dentro de los valles, que no tardé mucho en ignorar en qué dirección quedaba la bonita aldea de B..., donde había decidido pernoctar. El sol casi no había brillado durante el día -en el más estricto sentido de la palabra-, a pesar de lo cual había estado desagradablemente caluroso. Una niebla humeante, parecida a la del verano indio, envolvía todas las cosas y, desde luego, contribuía a mi incertidumbre.

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.
