內容簡介

Born to an unfortunate heritage, orphaned, unsympathetically raised, and then abandoned, Edgar Allan Poe struggled for greatness in an adverse social and economic climate -- a setting not improved by his fiery temperament and caustic criticism of others. Poe's melancholy brilliance, his passionate lyricism, and his tormented soul would make him one of the most widely read and original writers in American literature. Here, in one volume, are his classic short works: masterpieces of horror, terror, humor, and adventure -- and the finest lyric and narrative poetry of this ill-fated genius whose influence on both prose and verse continues to this day.

Pocket Books' Enriched Classics present the great works of world literature enhanced for the contemporary reader. This edition of Great Tales And Poems Of Edgar Allan Poe contains the original Pocket Books introduction, first published in 1951, along with an updated selection of critical excerpts, and suggestions for further readings.

作者簡介

Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American writer, poet, editor and literary critic, considered part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective-fiction genre. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.

He was born as Edgar Poe in Boston, Massachusetts; he was orphaned young when his mother died shortly after his father abandoned the family. Poe was taken in by John and Frances Allan, of Richmond, Virginia, but they never formally adopted him. He attended the University of Virginia for one semester but left due to lack of money. After enlisting in the Army and later failing as an officer's cadet at West Point, Poe parted ways with the Allans. Poe's publishing career began humbly, with an anonymous collection of poems, Tamerlane and Other Poems (1827), credited only to "a Bostonian".

Poe switched his focus to prose and spent the next several years working for literary journals and periodicals, becoming known for his own style of literary criticism. His work forced him to move between several cities, including Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City. In Baltimore in 1835, he married Virginia Clemm, his 13-year-old cousin. In January 1845, Poe published his poem "The Raven" to instant success. His wife died of tuberculosis two years later. He began planning to produce his own journal, The Penn (later renamed The Stylus), though he died before it could be produced. On October 7, 1849, at age 40, Poe died in Baltimore; the cause of his death is unknown and has been variously attributed to alcohol, brain congestion, cholera, drugs, heart disease, rabies, suicide, tuberculosis, and other agents.

Poe and his works influenced literature in the United States and around the world, as well as in specialized fields, such as cosmology and cryptography. Poe and his work appear throughout popular culture in literature, music, films, and television. A number of his homes are dedicated museums today.

　　這次讀愛倫坡，很快就勾起瞭我上述的那種印象，文風很繁瑣，甚至都感覺有點羅嗦，但是你很快就能靜下心來仔細地品位其中的滋味，很多時候你會猛然發現，這說的不正是自己內心深處最隱秘的，也是最不可思議的意識，那種每個人都經曆過的最抓狂的，在理智邊緣極力控製自己過程中的那種說不清道不明的感覺，作者居然可以用這樣一種筆調，赤裸裸地，誇張地錶現齣來，如此地精準和入木三分，隨後會激起一種讓自己都覺得恐怖的快感，比如《作惡的心魔》裏的那種”莫名其妙地，不可控製地，自己和自己過不去地倔強。”，比如《活葬》裏那種”突然醒來最怕看到某種情況”那一兩秒鍾內的恐懼，這纔是真正的無法用語言錶達的感受（而不是cctv裏那種”無法用語言錶達”的模式，那樣隻會讓人睏惑語文沒學好還是太忸怩作態），而這些文字又是何等地適到好處。

　　在我不多也不少的讀書記憶中，哥特式的風格在很遙遠的初中時代是讀過造就瞭知名的德古拉伯爵的那一本《德拉庫拉》，當時可能由於自己水平的限製，對這種風格並不以為然，甚至很是失望，小說既沒有相應電影作品所帶來的那一種來自”恐怖”的刺激，而且文字上與其說是”恐怖”不如說是一種欲說還休的”詭異”，也就是說你對他的感覺不是急切知道結果，又怕知道結果的那種不間斷推理的預期，而是一種不停的理解作者在說什麼的睏惑，文字的重點並不在於”邏輯”，而更多的在於營造”氣氛”，當時我並不知道這這種風格就是哥特式（我當時對這種風格的認識僅局限於建築，比如巴黎聖母院，聖彼得大教堂），隻是覺得這種小說過於的陰暗和完全唯心主義似的臆想和癲狂，讓人深感不舒服。

為薪金（每星期大概是10美元）和編輯自主權與懷特發生爭執，這導緻瞭他於1837年1月從《南方文學信使》辭職。舉傢遷居紐約另謀生路，但未能找到編輯的職位。剋萊姆太大經營一個寄宿公寓以幫助支撐傢庭。發錶詩歌和小說，其中包括《麗姬婭》（後來坡稱此篇為“我最好的小說”）；重新開始寫已在《南方文學信使》連載過兩部分的《阿瑟·戈登·皮姆》，想把它寫成一部可單獨齣版的長篇。哈珀齣版社於1838年7月齣版《阿·戈·皮姆的故事》。坡舉傢遷費城。繼續當自由撰稿人，可一貧如洗，而且仍舊找不到編輯職位，考慮放棄文學生涯。
