Ideal for intermediate learners of English looking to improve or practise their English. The book is filled with useful vocabulary that is carefully graded and easy to understand, it also comes with audio, so that you can listen to the story at the same time as reading. The human mind is a dark, bottomless pit, and sometimes it works in strange and frightening ways. That sound in the night ... is it a door banging in the wind, or a murdered man knocking inside his coffin? The face in the mirror ... is it yours, or the face of someone standing behind you, who is never there when you turn round?These famous short stories by Edgar Allan Poe, that master of horror, explore the dark world of the imagination, where the dead live and speak, where fear lies in every shadow of the mind ...
Edgar Allan Poe nasqué a Boston el 1809 i morí a Baltimore el 1849. Ben aviat fou reconegut i enaltit per figures de gran talla, entre les quals Charles Baudelaire, que es convertí en el seu traductor al francès. A Catalunya, Carles Riba s?afegeix a la llista de traductors il·lustres de l?escriptor americà, realitzant-ne unes versions que han esdevingut ja clàssiques.
