DESCRIPTION:
Review for book, not contents of book. V. Patel I think Poe's genius hardly needs discussion on this forum. So, I offer a small review on the physical book itself.As another reviewer mentioned, there are no annotations.You will have to translate (or find on the Net) the Latin,the French, etc., yourself, though you can skip them andstill understand the story. I'm no Poe scholar, so I don'tknow which works, if any, were excluded from the book, butall of my favo. lindarabbit said The Gold Bug is a great example of this together with the many darker tales. While Poe is known for his "dark tales" there are some short stories that are truly intriguing (The Gold Bug is an example). He's often considered the father of the "detective story" genreThe Gold Bug is a great example of this together with the many darker tales such as The Black Cat, Tell-Tall Heart, Murders in the Rue Morgue. I haven't read all of the short stories, as I'm busy!A good volume to purchase if yo. Got my kid interested in reading. staffordScott It got my 11 year old reading. He's dislikes reading because of the time it takes to get fro beginning to end for a typical 5th grade story. While Edgar Allen Poe's works are above the 5th grade level, they are short and keep you interested. Perfect selection.
