READ BY DAVID SOUL Duration: 2 hours 28 minutes Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49) was an American poet, writer, editor and literary critic. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe’s full-blooded Gothic style influenced generations of writers, filmmakers and musicians, from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Charles Baudelaire to Roger Corman and Lou Reed. The five tales collected here range from the famous to the obscure, but each displays Poe's unique sense of the macabre and his love for the baroque. A victim of the Inquisition finds himself in a nightmarish torture chamber, a castle is besieged by plague, a man becomes obsessed by the evil eye of his fellow lodger, a mesmerist suspends a man's life at the point of death and a jester takes his revenge on his cruel employers.

Tu tío arqueólogo te propone viajar con él este verano. Las opciones son de la selva sudamericana a una mina en África, de las galerías de una tumba egipcia a un volcán en medio de Camboya. ¿En cuál de esos destinos se esconde el mayor de los tesoros? Si quieres descubrirlo, haz la maleta y pasa página. •Llega hasta unas minas escalando un volcán en la página 14 o atravesando un lago lleno de cocodrilos en la página 22. •Dentro de la Gran Pirámide del Sol puedes conseguir la eterna juventud en la página 12 o la riqueza infinita en la 20. •Intenta detener a unos ladrones de tesoros tú solo en la página 63 o con la ayuda de un elefante en la página 107.

Solicitor Jonathan Harker embarks on a journey to the castle of Count Dracula in Transylvania, becomes imprisoned there and experiences a host of horrors until he finds an escape.

In just five stories, Edgar Allan Poe laid down most of the ground rules of detective fiction. In the three tales featuring Auguste Dupin (The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Roget and The Purloined Letter) he created the Great Detective, not to mention the locked-room mystery, the notion of armchair detection and the secret-service story; The Gold Bug revolved around the use of cyphers; and Thou Art the Man made use of false clues and the least likely suspect.
