Manuscrito hallado en una botella

by Edgar Allan Poe

Overview

Dejando de lado toda idea romántica que puede llevar en sí un manuscrito hallado en el mar, Poe presenta en este caso el doble naufragio del autor del manuscrito.
En este relato corto encontramos una invitación a navegar junto con el narrador de esta obra, personaje nervioso y suspicaz que nos lleva hacia los mares de Asia.
Perseguido por el mal presentimiento, el narrador crea el ambiente perfecto de suspenso para relatarnos el primer naufragio de su nave, luego al entrar en la segunda embarcación, es como si se abriera la puerta a una dimensión paralela. Lo que mantiene real esta historia es que el personaje principal percibe las extrañezas de esta historia tal como lo haríamos nosotros si nos encontráramos en esa situación. Pero el no ser percibido por la tripulación de este segundo navío se convierte en una paradoja de su propia descripción.

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.
