Sumary
in their strange atmosphere and the fantastic events they describe, the four stories in this collection are typical of Edgar Allan Poe’s tales: part horror story, part romantic poetry. In ‘The Black Cat’, one of Poe’s most famous stories, the evil done by an originally good man comes back to him in the terrible revenge of his once-loved cat. In ‘The Oval Portrait’, a traveller comes across a remarkably life-like painting of a woman in a mountain castle. He also finds a book, which tells him the portrait’s horrible secret. ‘Berenice’ is the weird story of a strange man’s proposal of marriage to his cousin, and her terrible fate at his hands. In ‘The Mask of the Red Death’, another famous story, a prince tries to escape a horrible epidemic by locking the doors of his castle - but of course fails.

Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston, on January 19, 1809. His grandfather, David Poe participated in the War of Independence, and his father (also named David Poe) fell in love with British actress Elisabeth Arnold, marrying her. Edgar Allan Poe had two brothers and his parents died shortly after the birth of Rosalie, the youngest daughter of the couple. However, they were not helpless and were adopted by the wealthy couple John and Frances Allan Keeling Allan. Poe studied in London at Stoke-Newington, some time later continued his studies back to Richmond, the University Charlotteville. Allan Poe, though very clever was also very temperamental, and this earned him the expulsion of the university.
