Uno dei più grandi scrittori horror di tutti i tempi, Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49) ha anche composto racconti pionieristici che hanno colto gli sviluppi scientifici di un'epoca segnata da cambiamenti sconvolgenti. In questa raccolta di sedici racconti, esplora temi contemporanei di vasta portata come il galvanismo, il viaggio nel tempo e la resurrezione dei morti. "The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfall" racconta il viaggio in mongolfiera di un uomo sulla luna con una combinazione di precisione scientifica e sorprendente fantasia. Altrove, i confini tra horror e scienza sono elegantemente sfumati in racconti come "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar", mentre il grande saggio "Eureka" delinea l'interpretazione personale dell'universo da parte di Poe. Fortemente influenti su autori successivi tra cui Jules Verne, queste opere sono una lettura essenziale per chiunque desideri tracciare la genealogia della fantascienza o comprendere la complessità della visione creativa di Poe.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. One of the greatest of all horror writers, Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49) also composed pioneering tales that seized upon the scientific developments of an era marked by staggering change. In this collection of sixteen stories, he explores such wide-ranging contemporary themes as galvanism, time travel and resurrection of the dead. 'The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfall' relates a man's balloon journey to the moon with a combination of scientific precision and astonishing fantasy. Elsewhere, the boundaries between horror and science are elegantly blurred in stories such as 'The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar', while the great essay 'Eureka' outlines Poe's own interpretation of the universe. Powerfully influential on later authors including Jules Verne, these works are essential reading for anyone wishing to trace the genealogy of science fiction, or to understand the complexity of Poe's own creative vision. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR001130422
