About this ebook

While lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore, a man receives a visit from a mysterious and unsettling raven who only utters one word: “Nevermore.”

Despite the fact that his first published works were books of poetry, during his lifetime Edgar Allan Poe was recognized more for his literary criticism and prose than his poetry. However, Poe’s poetic works have since become as well-known as his famous stories, and reflect similar themes of mystery and the macabre. “The Raven” is one of the most well-known American poems and has influenced many modern writers, including Vladimir Nabokov and Ray Bradbury.

Ratings and reviews

I love how this book dealt with words. it tells you of how it looks, down to the innermost possibilities of it being close and what it wills to be without it's chirps. it did not fail to stir thoughts or the ideas of Poe

and for all I've loved, I've loved alone

Excellently a must experience !

About the author

Edgar Allan Poe (1809–49) reigned unrivaled in his mastery of mystery during his lifetime and is now widely held to be a central figure of Romanticism and gothic horror in American literature. Born in Boston, he was orphaned at age three, was expelled from West Point for gambling, and later became a well-regarded literary critic and editor. The Raven, published in 1845, made Poe famous. He died in 1849 under what remain mysterious circumstances and is buried in Baltimore, Maryland.
