The Gold-Bug

Edgar Allan Poe 1809 – 1849 — an American writer, poet, and literary critic. His attention to detail, sharp analytical mind, and polished language earned him recognition from readers and critics in America and Europe during his lifetime, despite accusations... of immorality and the abundance of scenes of brutality in his works. Poe's detective stories laid the foundation for the genre, and his anxiety-ridden and tense gothic tales inspired Lovecraft and Hitchcock. The collection includes four famous stories by Poe: "The Gold-Bug" — a tale about the mystery of a golden scarab; "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" — an investigation into the brutal murder of two women; "The Fall of the House of Usher" — a dark gothic tale of illness, madness, and death; and "William Wilson" — a chilling story about a dark doppelgänger. The texts of the stories are presented in English, without omissions or adaptations.
