Las mujeres de Poe
Las mujeres de Poe es una fascinante antología de relatos que nos presenta a cinco mujeres que esconden un secreto aterrador. Estas cinco inquietantes historias de amor y muerte, exquisitas y tenebrosas, se acompañan de los dos poemas más hermosos del autor: El cuervo y Annabel Lee. De la mano del gran maestro de la literatura fantástica, recorremos un mundo poblado de fantasmas, recuerdos y misterio en el que la locura se entremezcla con la posibilidad, siempre presente, de la existencia de lo sobrenatural. El libro está elegantemente ilustrado por Alberto Sastre, que realza a los melancólicos personajes con un maravilloso juego de luces y sombras, y con texturas de factura impecable.
La obra se ha realizado en lápiz y acrílico con tratamiento digital.
La ilustración de Alberto Sastre refleja magistralmente el ambiente inquietante y fantasmagórico de los relatos de Poe.

About the author
Edgar Allan Poe
10.2k books29.1k followersThe name Poe brings to mind images of murderers and madmen, premature burials, and mysterious women who return from the dead. His works have been in print since 1827 and include such literary classics as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, and The Fall of the House of Usher. This versatile writer’s oeuvre includes short stories, poetry, a novel, a textbook, a book of scientific theory, and hundreds of essays and book reviews. He is widely acknowledged as the inventor of the modern detective story and an innovator in the science fiction genre, but he made his living as America’s first great literary critic and theoretician. Poe’s reputation today rests primarily on his tales of terror as well as on his haunting lyric poetry.
Just as the bizarre characters in Poe’s stories have captured the public imagination so too has Poe himself. He is seen as a morbid, mysterious figure lurking in the shadows of moonlit cemeteries or crumbling castles. This is the Poe of legend. But much of what we know about Poe is wrong, the product of a biography written by one of his enemies in an attempt to defame the author’s name.
The real Poe was born to traveling actors in Boston on January 19, 1809. Edgar was the second of three children. His other brother William Henry Leonard Poe would also become a poet before his early death, and Poe’s sister Rosalie Poe would grow up to teach penmanship at a Richmond girls’ school. Within three years of Poe’s birth both of his parents had died, and he was taken in by the wealthy tobacco merchant John Allan and his wife Frances Valentine Allan in Richmond, Virginia while Poe’s siblings went to live with other families. Mr. Allan would rear Poe to be a businessman and a Virginia gentleman, but Poe had dreams of being a writer in emulation of his childhood hero the British poet Lord Byron. Early poetic verses found written in a young Poe’s handwriting on the backs of Allan’s ledger sheets reveal how little interest Poe had in the tobacco business.

Solo había leído uno de estos cuentos antes, pero no recordaba mucho. Creo que lo más resaltante de Poe es la forma en la que narra, más que lo que narra en sí mismo. Personalmente, los finales, o los giros que tienen los cuentos no me sorprendieron (excepto el de Morella), pero la pluma, los detalles, las comparaciones, son tan bonitas, y lo hacen sentir tan real, que hace que no quieras soltar el libro.
Además, el arte con el que está ilustrado es muy bello, es el atractivo de la editorial lo que en cierta forma me animó a empezarlo, va muy acorde a la esencia de cada uno de los cuentos.

The last two were just wierd.
I think the first one was kind of alright i just didnt get it.. the second one was just no. And the third was wierd, like the woman was in love with the best friend but the best friend was sick and died? Its a tragic story really.
Not good, maybe if i read it in English it wouldnt be bad…
