Meer over het boek
Master of the gothic genre, Poe made fear his quintessential theme and the principal tool for understanding psychological dynamics. Characterized by an unmistakable dreamlike and visionary atmosphere, Poe's tales contain truths that reside beyond appearances: the vision is not real, yet it is true. "Those who dream by day know many things that escape those who dream only at night," he states in "Eleonora." The complex, elusive, and disconcerting world surrounding every man, the mysteries to penetrate in order to understand the essence of things, as well as the radical dismay that this kind of inquiry provokes, are the subjects that obsess the American writer and from which his stories often arise. They still manage to captivatingly engage the attention of readers.
