ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The complete anthology of Edgar Allan Poe's stories, as extraordinary today as when they were first published, in a beautiful hardcover edition. From the greedy world, hungry for materialism, Poe has thrown himself into dreams. Smothered by the American atmosphere, he wrote at the head of
Eureka "I offer this book at those who have put their faith in dreams as in the only realities!" Indeed, it was an admirable protest. The author, who, in
The Colloquium of Monos and Una, releases torrents on his contempt and disgust on democracy, progress, and civilization, is the same who--to remove credulity, and delight the idleness of his people--energetically posited human sovereignty and ingeniously crafted ducks most flattering for the pride of modern man.
