Her præsenteres i de allerbedste af Edgar Allan Poes fortællinger i en meget flot bogudgivelse. Genremæssigt kommer bogen vidt omkring. Med i udvalget er selvfølgelig fortællingerne, der skabte krimigenren, hvoraf de mest kendte er ‘Mordene i Rue Morgue’ og ‘Det stjålne brev’. Og gyserhistorierne, der var mindst lige så genredefinerende, fx ‘Amontilladofadet’ og ‘Den aflange kasse’. Men Poe var desuden en af de store pionerer inden for science fiction, hvad vi fx får at se i ‘Kendsgerningerne i sagen om M. Valdemar’. Og så var han en stor stilist og humorist, hvad der skinner igennem det meste af, hvad han skrev. I alt giver bogen 30 perler fra mesterens hånd i Hans-Jørgen Birkmoses meget roste danske oversættelse, der fik følgende ros med på vejen, da den udkom første gang i 2007: "Hans-Jørgen Birkmose klarer opgaven mesterligt og genskaber Poe i et levende dansk, der gør fortællingerne indbydende og friske." ***** Per Krogh Hansen, Berlingske Tidende

After reading an 1836 newspaper account of a shipwreck and its two survivors, Edgar Allan Poe penned his only novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, the story of a stowaway on a Nantucket whaleship who finds himself enmeshed in the dark side of life at sea: mutiny, cannibalism, savagery—even death. As Jeffrey Meyers writes in his Introduction: "[Poe] remains contemporary because he appeals to basic human feelings and expresses universal themes common to all men in all languages: dreams, love, loss; grief, mourning, alienation; terror, revenge, murder; insanity, disease, and death.” Within the pages of this novel, we encounter nearly all of them.This Modern Library Paperback Classic reprints the text of the original 1838 American edition.

Edgar Allan Poe er en af amerikansk litteraturs allerstørste. Han er mest kendt som gysets mester og kriminalromanens fader. Men han var også en af science fiction-genrens vigtigste pionerer og en stor humorist. Her foreligger for første gang på dansk hans samlede fortællinger, hvoraf store dele aldrig tidligere har været oversat.Poes fortællinger kunne i hans levetid læses rundt omkring i aviser og blade. Det var hans store ønske at få værkerne samlet og udgivet i bogform, men det lykkedes kun delvist.I første bind af denne tobinds-udgave finder man de samlinger, som han nåede at få udgivet: Groteske og arabeske fortællinger I-II (1840), hvor han veksler mellem det 'groteske' - det absurd morsomme - og det 'arabeske' - de rastløse og dunkle afsøgninger af sindets irgange. Og Fortællinger (1845), hvor C. Auguste Dupin dukker op, mesterdetektiven, som føjede nye alen til Poes berømmelse og blev hans måske mest kendte og elskede figur.I andet bind er samlet alle de fortællinger, Poe aldrig selv opnåede at se udgivet i bogform, heriblandt klassikere som 'Hjertet, der sladrede' og 'Den aflange kasse'. Men også mindre kendte værker, bl.a. 'Morgen på Wissahickon', der først blev genopdaget mange år efter hans død, og den ufuldendte 'Fyrtårnet', som man fandt i manuskriptform blandt hans efterladte papirer.Samlede fortællinger I indeholder:MorellaBerømmelseWilliam WilsonManden som var blevet slagtetUshers faldHertugen af L'OmeletteEt manuskript fundet i en flaskeBon-Bon Mørket - en lignelseDjævelen i klokketårnetLigeiaKong PestHvordan man skriver en gyserNødstedtFire dyr i ét Stilhed - en fabelHvad Hans Phaall oplevede på sin fantastiske rejseEn fortælling fra JerusalemMystifikationÅndeløsMetzengersteinBereniceHvorfor den lille franskmand går med hånden bundet indMødetSamtalen mellem Eiros og CharmionGuldbillenDen sorte katHypnotisk åbenbaringEn nedfart i malstrømmenMonos og Unas drøftelseMordene i Rue MorgueMarie Rogêt-mysterietDet stjålne brevMassemennesket”’Samlede fortællinger I-II’ fra Klim er glimrende nyoversat af Hans-Jørgen Birkemose, og kan på det varmeste anbefales - både til "gamle" kendere og nysgerrige nytilkommere."*****Steen Bech, KultuNaut"Når Poe er bedst, og det er han ofte, bliver det ikke meget bedre."Henrik Queitsch, Ekstra Bladet"beundringsværdigt samlesæt ... flot oversat."Bo Tao Michaëlis, Politiken"Hans-Jørgen Birkmose klarer opgaven mesterligt og genskaber Poe i et levende dansk, der gør fortællingerne indbydende og friske."*****Per Krogh Hansen, Berlingske Tidende"nyoversættelse af høj klasse ... litteratur skrevet på liv og død og lige så vigtig at læse"*****Jakob Levinsen, Jyllands-Posten"Edgar Allan Poes samlede fortællinger står funklende moderne i Hans-Jørgen Birkmoses sublime oversættelse."*****Mogens Rude, Jyske Vestkysten
