Legacy: Despite his relatively short career, Poe's literary contributions had a significant impact on American and world literature. He is widely considered one of the greatest and most influential writers in the horror and detective genres. His works continue to be celebrated and adapted in various forms, from films to TV series to theatrical productions. Okay, "the tales part", well... The Fall of House of Usher is my favorite; I could relate a lot to how the narrator feels toward this creepy, gloomy dark house, which makes me wonder if the House of Usher is not a mere house, but maybe a state of being, like some sort of heavy weight pressing down one's chest. From the very start of the story, the narrator describes the way he feels as well as the things he observes while approaching the house, Poe uses such poetic, complex, deep words to describe this. Take a look; When divorced from his single-minded prosody, Poe's mastery of the language elegantly serves the needs of mood, characterization, and action. This is not always the case: his Ligeia retains his poetic narrowness, but his detective stories have a gentleness and wit found nowhere else in his oeuvre.

The stolen letter has been concealed, but all logicał attempts to locate it have failed. Dupin comes to the conclusion that, “to conceal the letter, the Minister had resorted to the comprehensive and sagacious expedient of not attempting to conceal it at all.”

The Raven and Other Poems" - A collection of Poe's most famous poems, including "The Raven,""Annabel Lee," and "The Bells." M-a ZĂPĂCIT!!! Nuvela asta este, par excellence, o metaforă!!! Nici n-am cuvinte să o descriu! E prima scriere-metaforă pe care o citesc! "Ochelarii", auzi?! am rămas complet buimăcit! I’ve been reading this book for almost three years and it feels so good to finally have finished it! Cred că e prima opera prin excelenţă romantică ce aparţine lui Poe pe care eu o citesc. Personaje excepţionale, hipersensibile, în situaţii excepţionale. Condiţia artistului şi moartea pentru causa prima: iubirea! In “The Imp of the Perverse”, the narrator murders a friend, only to be plagued by the temptation to confess his crime. The spirit of the perverse condemns us to do what we should not, even if it threatens our own safety.

The mental features discoursed of as the analytical, are, in themselves, but little susceptible of analysis. We appreciate them only in their effects. We know of them, among other things, that they are always to their possessor, when inordinately possessed, a source of the liveliest enjoyment. As the strong man exults in his physical ability, delighting in such exercises as call his muscles into action, so glories the analyst in that moral activity which disentangles. He derives pleasure from even the most trivial occupations bringing his talent into play. He is fond of enigmas, of conundrums, of hieroglyphics; exhibiting in his solutions of each a degree of acumen which appears to the ordinary apprehension preternatural. His results, brought about by the very soul and essence of method, have, in truth, the whole air of intuition.” The Cask of Amontillado and Other Tales" - A collection of Poe's short stories, including "The Cask of Amontillado,""The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar," and "The Oval Portrait." This short story is a marvel. It appears confusing and contradictory, but if you stop and consider who is actually speaking then its true nature is revealed. Admittedly, on my first read I was a little lost, though after a second read I began to see it for what it was. This is not as approachable as some of Poe’s other works, and it really isn’t an advisable starting point for the author. But, the short story is wonderful, truly wonderful. It highlights the working of the mind in a state of sheer depravity; it is disturbing and brilliant.

In truth, while that virtue which consists in the mere avoidance of vice appeals directly to the understanding, and can thus be circumscribed in rule, the loftier virtue, which flames in creation, can be apprehended in its results alone. Rule applies but to the merits of denial - to the excellences which refrain. Beyond these, the critical art can but suggest.” Griswold then convinced Poe’s mother-in-law to sign over the rights to all of Poe’s work to him and published a collected works along with a biography of Poe that was full of outright lies. He invented stories that depicted Poe as a drunkard that preyed on women for sodomy and finacial ruin amonst numerous outlandish claims of immorality and insanity, which was then bolstered by publishing Poe’s personal letters filled with fictional insertions of his own design. People were like wow this scary stories guy was a dangerous loon and overtime this was said less in disgust and more in comical appreciation, because people seem to love the idea that the artists behind inventive art are drug addled and unhinged. So the joke was on Griswold because practically nobody knows who he is and his plans to defame Poe actually solidified him as an iconic household name.

I'm rating it two stars because overall I was underwhelmed, and the other option would be to not rate it at all—how do you rate someone's life's work? You can't. So I'll write down my thoughts on the four sections the book is divided in: Annabel Lee" - A hauntingly beautiful poem about the death of a young woman, believed to be inspired by Poe's wife Virginia.Misterul Mariei Roget" este net inferioară nuvelei "Crimele din Rue Morgue". Ambele îl au ca protagoniste pe legendarul Auguste Dupin, ambele se bazează pe deducţii logice, ambele "anchete" pleacă de la nimic concret şi ajung să fie explicate pe zece căi lăturalnice. Poe had a troubled personal life, marked by financial struggles, alcoholism, and the loss of several loved ones, including his wife Virginia, who died of tuberculosis at a young age. Poe died in mysterious circumstances in Baltimore, Maryland, on October 7, 1849, at the age of 40. The Murders in the Rue Morgue”, a detective story (in which Poe introduces M.Auguste Dupin), focusses on the process of detection, in particular, the role of rational analysis:
