Udvalgte fortællinger

Edgar Allan Poe udgav en enkelt roman og en række digte, men kronen på værket er hans fortællinger. Her samles de bedste i ét bind.

Der er gys og gru, der er spænding og science fiction, og der er krimi og komik. Poe favner bredt og var forbløffende original. Han opfandt og fornyede en lang række genrer, og mange af de 28 titler står centralt i den amerikanske litteraturkanon: fx ‘Hjertet, der sladrede’, ‘Mordene i Rue Morgue’, ‘Amontilladofadet’, ‘Guldbillen’, ‘William Wilson’ og ’Den aflange kasse’.

En del af fortællingerne nåede Poe aldrig selv at se udgivet i bogform. Men de fleste stammer fra samlingerne ‘Groteske og arabeske fortællinger I-II’(1840) og ‘Fortællinger’ (1845).

“Nyoversættelse af høj klasse ... litteratur skrevet på liv og død og lige så vigtig at læse.”
