Una Historia De Las Montanas Ragged Edgar Allan Poe

Publisher Marketing: Durante el otono del ano 1827, cuando yo residia cerca de Charlottesville, Virginia, casualmente conoci al senor Augusto Bedloe. Este joven caballero era notable en todos los aspectos y desperto en mi profundo interes y curiosidad. Halle imposible comprender sus relaciones, tanto morales como fisicas. Nunca averigue de donde venia. Hasta en su edad, aunque le llamo joven gentleman, habia algo que me asombraba en no pequena medida. Ciertamente parecia joven, y no dejaba de hablar de su juventud, pero habia momentos en los cuales yo no habria tenido el menor reparo en imaginarlo de cien anos de edad, pues nada habia tan peculiar como su aspecto exterior."
