Maquiavélico, terrorífico, repugnante, horroroso… estas son pocos ejemplos de cómo podríamos describir las novelas de Edgar Allan Poe, donde, con aire de angustia, nos entrega obras en las que predom

Edgar Allan Poe, nato a Boston il 19 Gennaio 1809 e morto a Baltimora il 7 Ottobre 1849, e stato uno dei maggiori scrittori statunitensi del suo tempo, ma anche un poeta, un critico letterario, un giornalista, un editore e un saggista. Il suo nome e rimasto indissolubilmente legato ai suoi celebri romanzi e racconti dellorrore e del mistero e alla sua derivante fama di autore maledetto, anche se la sua produzione letteraria, piuttosto vasta, ha compreso anche raccolte poetiche, racconti polizieschi, gialli psicologici e storie di fantascienza e di avventura. Fu, insieme al grande scrittore ed esoterista francese Charles Nodier, uno dei principali precursori del Romanticismo e del Simbolismo, ma dovette lottare per buona parte della propria vita, soprattutto dopo la morte della moglie Virginia, con problemi finanziari e personali, con labuso di alcolici e di sostanze stupefacenti, oltre che con lincomprensione del pubblico e della critica dellepoca.Il racconto horror La Maschera della Morte Rossa (The Masque of the Red Death), uno dei piu celebri della produzione letteraria di Edgar Allan Poe, venne pubblicato nel 1842 sul Grahams Magazine ed e stato oggetto di molte edizioni successive e di ben quattro adattamenti cinematografici tra il 1921 e il 1989, lultimo dei quali e stato Masque of the Red Death del regista americano Larry Brand.Una storia angosciante, ad alta tensione narrativa, carica di simboli archetipici e di introspezioni psicologiche, sicuramente molto attuale, poiche evoca e incarna latavica paura umana della morte e i timori irrazionali per veri o presunti nemici invisibili che ben abbiamo visto nelle masse durante la psicodemia 2020-23. La riproponiamo oggi allattenzione dei nostri lettori nella traduzione italiana di Baccio Emanuele Maineri del 1869.

Poes first collection of poems, "Tamerlane and Other Poems," was published in 1827. He went on to write many more poems, including "The Raven," which became one of his most famous works. Poe also wrote numerous short stories, including "The Murders in the Rue Morgue,""The Tell-Tale Heart," and "The Fall of the House of Usher." Today, Poe is regarded as one of the most important figures in American literature, and his works continue to be popular and influential around the world.My father had a massive library in his private studio, filled with books of every genre and level of education. It was there that I discovered Edgar Allan Poes stories among the many books I read. I always dreamed of editing these stories, collecting the ones I enjoyed the most into a book - which is what I am doing now. The edition of "The Raven" which I reprint here was first published in 1884, with the beautiful art of Gustave Dore. I am sure the readers of this book will appreciate the illustrations, which are reproduced in high quality. I also thought it would be nice to add my own prose version of the poem.Giuseppe Guarino

Con los cuentos de terror y misterio que componen esta obra, Allan Poe renovó el relato gótico hasta elevarlo a la categoría de obra maestra. El Dark romanticismo de Poe comparte con el Trascendentalismo estadounidense su actitud de busqueda espiritual de la trascendencia de la realidad aparente del mundo y la vida, pero rechaza su excesivo optimismo, su confianza en el ser humano, su creencia en la sabia divinidad de la naturaleza y su fe en la reforma social. Por el contrario, muestra una postura fatalista ante la vida y presenta el mundo a traves de una luz siniestra que lo vuelve oscuro, decadente, misterioso y encubridor del mal infernal.La fascinacion de Poe por el terror, lo macabro y lo sobrenatural se encarna en individuos proclives al pecado y la autodestruccion, en imagenes del mal antropomorficas, como diablos, fantasmas y vampiros, y en temas como la venganza, la culpa y la auto punicion, el sadismo, la influencia del alcohol, el poder sobrenatural de la voluntad, o todos los relacionados con la muerte, como la descomposicion de cadaveres, el entierro aun en vida o la reanimacion de los muertos.
