內容簡介

Born to an unfortunate heritage, orphaned, unsympathetically raised, and then abandoned, Edgar Allan Poe struggled for greatness in an adverse social and economic climate -- a setting not improved by his fiery temperament and caustic criticism of others. Poe's melancholy brilliance, his passionate lyricism, and his tormented soul would make him one of the most widely read and original writers in American literature. Here, in one volume, are his classic short works: masterpieces of horror, terror, humor, and adventure -- and the finest lyric and narrative poetry of this ill-fated genius whose influence on both prose and verse continues to this day.

Pocket Books' Enriched Classics present the great works of world literature enhanced for the contemporary reader. This edition of Great Tales And Poems Of Edgar Allan Poe contains the original Pocket Books introduction, first published in 1951, along with an updated selection of critical excerpts, and suggestions for further readings.

作者簡介

Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American writer, poet, editor and literary critic, considered part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective-fiction genre. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.

He was born as Edgar Poe in Boston, Massachusetts; he was orphaned young when his mother died shortly after his father abandoned the family. Poe was taken in by John and Frances Allan, of Richmond, Virginia, but they never formally adopted him. He attended the University of Virginia for one semester but left due to lack of money. After enlisting in the Army and later failing as an officer's cadet at West Point, Poe parted ways with the Allans. Poe's publishing career began humbly, with an anonymous collection of poems, Tamerlane and Other Poems (1827), credited only to "a Bostonian".

Poe switched his focus to prose and spent the next several years working for literary journals and periodicals, becoming known for his own style of literary criticism. His work forced him to move between several cities, including Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City. In Baltimore in 1835, he married Virginia Clemm, his 13-year-old cousin. In January 1845, Poe published his poem "The Raven" to instant success. His wife died of tuberculosis two years later. He began planning to produce his own journal, The Penn (later renamed The Stylus), though he died before it could be produced. On October 7, 1849, at age 40, Poe died in Baltimore; the cause of his death is unknown and has been variously attributed to alcohol, brain congestion, cholera, drugs, heart disease, rabies, suicide, tuberculosis, and other agents.

Poe and his works influenced literature in the United States and around the world, as well as in specialized fields, such as cosmology and cryptography. Poe and his work appear throughout popular culture in literature, music, films, and television. A number of his homes are dedicated museums today.

他一生寫瞭六七十篇短篇小說，雖然隻寫瞭四五篇推理小說，但是舉世公認為推理小說的鼻祖。代錶作《毛格街血案》、《瑪麗·羅傑疑案》、《竊信案》和《金甲蟲》都被奉為這類小說的先河，對後世起瞭很大影響。他在前三篇小說中塑造的業馀偵探杜賓的形象，可以說是柯南道爾筆下的福爾摩斯的前輩。據研究偵探小說的專傢霍華德·海剋雷夫特認為，“這個杜賓也是坡的自我理想化身，因為他自幼聰穎異常，處處想錶現自己的優越，所以就把杜賓寫成具有超人智力、觀察入微、料事如神的理想人物，為瞭襯托他的瞭不起，又藉一個對他無限欽佩、相形見絀的朋友來敘述他的事跡，此外還寫瞭一個頭腦愚鈍、動機雖好而屢犯錯誤的警探作為對比。作案地點一般安排在鎖得嚴嚴密密的暗室；埋藏贓物罪證則用明顯得齣人意外的方法；破案過程則用邏輯嚴謹、設身處地的推理（今稱用心理分析學）；然後有條不紊的迫使罪犯就範歸案；最終再由主人公洋洋自得、滔滔不絕的解釋其全過程。這已成為坡寫偵探小說的模式。”而這一模式在一百四十年來已為全世界各國偵探小說傢競相師法，不少這類作品都是步他後塵，脫不瞭這個窠臼。甚至被稱為偵探小說之父的英國作傢威爾基·柯林斯那部名作《月亮寶石》（1868）裏的偵探剋夫也是在坡的影響下産生的。

標準口袋書，不過跟我想象不太一樣

　　在我不多也不少的讀書記憶中，哥特式的風格在很遙遠的初中時代是讀過造就瞭知名的德古拉伯爵的那一本《德拉庫拉》，當時可能由於自己水平的限製，對這種風格並不以為然，甚至很是失望，小說既沒有相應電影作品所帶來的那一種來自”恐怖”的刺激，而且文字上與其說是”恐怖”不如說是一種欲說還休的”詭異”，也就是說你對他的感覺不是急切知道結果，又怕知道結果的那種不間斷推理的預期，而是一種不停的理解作者在說什麼的睏惑，文字的重點並不在於”邏輯”，而更多的在於營造”氣氛”，當時我並不知道這這種風格就是哥特式（我當時對這種風格的認識僅局限於建築，比如巴黎聖母院，聖彼得大教堂），隻是覺得這種小說過於的陰暗和完全唯心主義似的臆想和癲狂，讓人深感不舒服。

　　在這些文字的描述中還時常冒齣一些讓我驚嘆的哲學警句，很多時候我都即時的抄錄到我的twitter上以作備忘 ，比如下麵這些。
