El corazón delator/Le coeur révélateur: (Edición bilingüe/Édition bilingue)

by Edgar Allan Poe

Overview

¡Es verdad! Soy nervioso, terriblemente nervioso. Siempre lo he sido y lo soy. Pero, ¿podría decirse que estoy loco? La enfermedad había agudizado mis sentidos, no los había destruido ni apagado. Sobre todo, tenía el sentido del oído agudo. Oía todo sobre el cielo y la tierra. Oía muchas cosas del infierno. Entonces, ¿cómo voy a estar loco? Escuchen y observen con qué tranquilidad, con qué cordura puedo contarles toda la historia.


Vrai ! - je suis très nerveux, épouvantablement nerveux, je l'ai toujours été ; mais pourquoi préten-dez-vous que je suis fou ? La maladie a aiguisé mes sens, - elle ne les a pas détruits, - elle ne les a pas émoussés. Plus que tous les autres, j'avais le sens de l'ouïe très fin. J'ai entendu toutes choses du ciel et de la terre. J'ai entendu bien des choses de l'enfer. Comment donc suis-je fou ? Attention ! Et observez avec quelle santé, - avec quel calme je puis vous raconter toute l'histoire.

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.
