Edgar Allan Poe

El Cottage De Landor Edgar Allan Poe

Publisher Marketing: Durante una excursion a pie, que realice el pasado verano a traves de uno o dos de los condados riberenos de Nueva York, me encontre, al caer el dia, un tanto desorientado acerca del camino que debia seguir. La tierra se ondulaba de un modo considerable y durante la ultima hora mi senda habia dado vueltas y mas vueltas de aqui para alla, tan confusamente en su esfuerzo por mantenerse dentro de los valles, que no tarde mucho en ignorar en que direccion quedaba la bonita aldea de B..., donde habia decidido pernoctar. El sol casi no habia brillado durante el dia -en el mas estricto sentido de la palabra-, a pesar de lo cual habia estado desagradablemente caluroso. Una niebla humeante, parecida a la del verano indio, envolvia todas las cosas y, desde luego, contribuia a mi incertidumbre. Contributor Bio:  Poe, Edgar Allan Author, poet, and literary critic, Edgar Allan Poe is credited with pioneering the short story genre, inventing detective fiction, and contributing to the development of science fiction. However, Poe is best known for his works of the macabre, including such infamous titles as "The Raven," "The Pit and the Pendulum," "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," "Lenore," and "The Fall of the House of Usher." Part of the American Romantic Movement, Poe was one of the first writers to make his living exclusively through his writing, working for literary journals and becoming known as a literary critic. His works have been widely adapted in film. Edgar Allan Poe died of a mysterious illness in 1849 at the age of 40.
