书籍简介

在这本诗歌全集中，探索埃德加-爱伦-坡诗歌中的脱俗的统一世界和美。

埃德加-爱伦-坡虽然以短篇小说闻名于世，但他天生就是一位诗人。从精致的抒情诗《致海伦》到不朽的杰作《安娜贝尔-李》、《钟声》和《乌鸦》，坡与英国知名的浪漫主义诗人雪莱、拜伦和济慈齐名，他那缠绵悱恻、感人至深的诗意深深影响了维多利亚时代的巨匠斯温伯恩、丁尼生和罗塞蒂。

如今，他的阴暗面在《闹鬼的宫殿》和《征服者的蠕虫》等诗作中向当代读者娓娓道来，其疯狂和恐怖的形象令人震撼。但是，即使在生命的最后时刻，坡仍向他的艺术寻求安慰和勇气，在《埃尔多拉多》中为我们提供了在黑暗的时刻可以握住的护身符--这是一位伟大的美国作家送给我们的永恒礼物。

包括杰伊-帕里尼的导言 

和 April Bernard 的后记

Explore the transcendent world of unity and ultimate beauty in Edgar Allan Poe’s verse in this complete poetry collection.

Although best known for his short stories, Edgar Allan Poe was by nature and choice a poet. From his exquisite lyric “To Helen,” to his immortal masterpieces, “Annabel Lee,” “The Bells,” and “The Raven,” Poe stands beside the celebrated English romantic poets Shelley, Byron, and Keats, and his haunting, sensuous poetic vision profoundly influenced the Victorian giants Swinburne, Tennyson, and Rossetti.

Today his dark side speaks eloquently to contemporary readers in poems such as “The Haunted Palace” and “The Conqueror Worm,” with their powerful images of madness and the macabre. But even at the end of his life, Poe reached out to his art for comfort and courage, giving us in “Eldorado” a talisman to hold during our darkest moments—a timeless gift from a great American writer.

作者简介

埃德加-爱伦-坡 1809 年出生于波士顿，1811 年成为孤儿，寄居在弗吉尼亚州的一个寄养家庭。寄养家庭与坡的关系并不融洽，坡在弗吉尼亚大学只读了一个学期，阿兰家就取消了对他的资助。他应征入伍，然后短暂就读于西点军校，同时出版了三卷诗集： Tamerlane》（1827 年）、《Al Aaraaf》（1829 年）和《Poems》（1831 年）。1831 年至 1835 年，他与姨妈住在巴尔的摩，尽管他在文学上取得了越来越大的成就，但在那里，他开始了与贫穷和酗酒的终生斗争。1836 年 5 月，他与嫡亲表妹弗吉尼亚-克莱姆（Virginia Clemm）结婚，婚后育有一个 13 岁的孩子。1844 年 4 月，他举家迁往纽约，次年 1 月，他的诗作《乌鸦》出现在《纽约晚报》上，从此他的文学命运发生了转折。一夜之间，他成为美国受关注的文学家。1847 年初，他的妻子死于肺结核，他也进一步酗酒。1849 年 10 月 3 日，他被发现在巴尔的摩街头游荡，神志不清，四天后死于不明原因的酗酒。

Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston in 1809, but was orphaned in 1811 and went to live with a foster family in Virginia. The relationship was conflicted, and the Allans withdrew their financial support after Poe had completed only one semester at the University of Virginia. He enlisted in the Army, then enrolled briefly in West Point, meanwhile publishing three volumes of poetry: Tamerlane (1827), Al Aaraaf (1829), and Poems (1831). From 1831 to 1835, he lived in Baltimore with his aunt, where despite his increasing literary success, he began a lifelong struggle with poverty and addiction to alcohol. In May 1836, he married his first cousin, Virginia Clemm, a child of thirteen. In April 1844, he moved his family to New York, and in January of the following year, his literary fortunes turned when his poem “The Raven” appeared in the New York Evening News. Overnight, he became the most talked-about man of letters in America. Early in 1847 his wife died of tuberculosis and he sank further into alcoholism. On October 3, 1849 he was found wandering the streets of Baltimore, delirious, and died four days later from an unknown cause.
