Download Edgar Allan Poe: The Fever Called Living AudioBook Free
A view into the tumultuous and creative life of Edgar Allan Poe. Today the name Edgar Allan Poe invokes a tragic genius whose mastery of horror seems inexorably tied to his tormented life. But in his own time, Poe was most importantly a craftsman-an editor and reviewer frantically trying to make a living by transmuting the untamed ephemera of early on Victorianism into improvements in research fiction, horror, and detective books. Indeed, the criminal offenses thriller would not exist without Poe's sleuth Dupin, the deductive genius of "Murders in the Rue Morgue" and "The Purloined Notice." With brilliant scholarship and storytelling verve, Paul Collins delves into Poe's life and his professional world, from his stormy marriage with his rich adoptive dad and affinity for cryptograms to hits such as "The Raven" and flops like Eureka, his late-career crank books outing. Edgar Allan Poe can be an educational and supremely entertaining account of 1 of the very most singular skills in American characters.
