Información de la editorial

Today, Edgar Allan Poe is best known for his rather macabre Gothic writings, but during his lifetime, he was a respected literary critic who, on the side, wrote brilliant short stories and poetry, and developed the modern detective/mystery genre. Countless authors -- and mystery fans -- owe Poe a great debt for his contributions to American literature. Canterbury Classics is proud to present the stories and collected works of Edgar Allan Poe in this handsome, leather-bound volume. Fans will discover some of his most famous works, including The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Purloined Letter, The Tell-Tale Heart, and The Pit and the Pendulum, as well as some of his notable poems, including The Raven and Lenore. These masterpieces get the royal treatment, and are printed on high quality ivory paper with gilded edges.
