Um apartamento na rua Morgue transformado em um terrível matadouro, com cadáveres destroçados; o assassinato cruel de uma bela balconista; um jogo muito sofisticado de chantagem política de alto risco. Ao criar estas narrativas, entre 1841 e 1844, Edgar Allan Poe foi pioneiro no genero policial. As tres historias tem em comum o protagonista o excentrico e genial Auguste Dupin e o magnifico cenario que e Paris.Ao colocar-se no lugar do criminoso e utilizar a razo e a deduço logica para resolver crimes e misterios aparentemente insoluveis, Dupin se tornou o precursor de grandes detetives da literatura, como Sherlock Holmes, de Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; Hercule Poirot, de Agatha Christie; e Padre Brown, de G.K.

From the pretty villages, rural byways and bustling market towns of Essex come ten of the most dramatic and tragic murder cases in British history. Brutality, passion, jealousy, greed and moments of inexplicable rage have led to violent and horrifying deaths and, sometimes, the killers expiation of the crime on the scaffold.This chilling follow-up to Essex Murders brings together more true cases, dating between 1823 and 1960, that shocked not only the county but also made headline news across the nation. They include the extraordinary events resulting from the obsession of a young farmers daughter with a married man twice her age, the bloody killing of a police sergeant, a murder carried out in the depths of Epping Forest, the Dutch au pair found dead in a ditch, and a case that made criminal history in which the accused said he had strangled the victim while he was asleep.

Paul Celan (192070) stands as one of the greatest post-war European poets, a writer whose painful struggle with the possibilities and limitations of German, his native language, has helped to define the response of poetry in the aftermath of the Holocaust.Celans prose is as thought-provoking as, and less familiar than, his poetry. The writings and aphorisms on poetry and art illuminate the sources of his language: he explores the condition of being a stranger in the world, the necessity and limitation of discourse, enlarging our understanding of the poet and his vocation. A spare and reluctant prose writer, Celan speaks with a quiet authority that insists on the centrality of poetry in the modern world.Rosmarie Waldrops translation remains true to the poetic rhythms of Celans prose; her introduction sets the pieces in context.

Were trying the natural way, Havers once said when asked about children in their queer partnership. What follows is their sparklingly disruptive debut, drawing on inside jokes, ironies and imaginings for new ways of thinking about what we call natural and the ways and paths we choose to get there.From Oscar Wilde to an unlikely pelican, this books wandering way resists the traditional nature poem, instead digging into the muck and rock of queer wilderness. Formally inventive, these poems span the width of the page and draw on mathematics, tablecloth patterns and swimming pools for their structures. Ingenious and funny, Havers debut questions received ideas about inheritance and legacies: what if, it asks, we live outside the familiar, familial archive?

The Poetry Book Society Translation Choice Spring 2026May the stone steps and the deep-sleeping door summon the camellias impossible paradise and your face the impossible key May the window shudder May the notes be blue and the candleflame shake unequivocally (from May the Rain)One of Taiwans most celebrated poets, Chen Yuhong draws on both Western and Asian literary traditions, inflected by her work as a translator of contemporary English-language women poets (Gluck, Oswald, Duffy). This selection makes her art widely available in English for the first time.Her award-winning translators, George OConnell and Diana Shi, carry across the richly metaphorical lexicon of her poems and their uncanny inhabitation of places both real and imagined, conjuring mood, angles of thought or light, animal presence, and the tides of the seasons.In a world where much that seemed united has frayed, Chen Yuhongs finely balanced poems bring us news of other imagined worlds, and acknowledge the unexpected, its capacity to terrify or astonish.
