El retrato oval 1842

by Edgar Allan Poe

Overview

El castillo en el cual mi criado había decidido penetrar, aun cuando fuese por la fuerza, antes que permitirme, hallándome gravemente herido, pasar una noche al raso, era uno de esos grandes edificios, mezcla de melancolía y grandeza, que durante tanto tiempo han erguido su ceñuda frente por entre los Apeninos, no tanto en la realidad como en la fantasía de míster Radcliffe.

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.
