This is in an excellent pamphlet edition by Helios House Press for the Miskatonic Literary Society for the H.P.L.H.S. Nice typography and black-and-white illustrations by Hester Aspland. A classic tale and one almost every schoolchild in the U.S.A. has to read in English class at some point. I thought it cool when I first read it years ago, and so here again. Poe's prose is tight and he draws his characters so well. A rightly justified classic. I had to read this story for my English I class, and I believe my teacher hyped this story up too much before we began reading. They said that this story was going to be page-turning and suspenseful. To me, this book was only slightly page-turning and not very suspenseful. Of course, I blame this more on my teacher rather than Edgar Allan Poe. This book was slightly hard to understand, especially towards the end. All in all, I believe that it was just ok. I recently read this for the first time in decades as a buddy read in advance of a group visit to the Poe Museum in Richmond. I will confess that although it didn't frighten me as much as it did when I was in my teens, I am still in awe of Poe's ability to create atmosphere. And if you happen to be in Richmond, I recommend a visit to the museum. Seeing the artifacts of his life added to my appreciation of what was behind his writing.

La fiesta del carnaval será el momento ideal para que Fortunato se encuentre con Montresor y le pida que lo ayude a saber si un barril de un exquisito vino que le están por vender es auténtico. Fortunato, entusiasmado por la propuesta, se deja llevar por Montresor a unas húmedas y oscuras catacumbas donde, poco a poco, irá embriagándose con copas de vino sin imaginar cómo acabará el destino de su borrachera. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
