Nevermore

«If the very first phrase does not contribute to achieving a unified effect, then the writer has failed from the very beginning,» — wrote Edgar Allan Poe, well-known to the Russian reader in various incarnations: master of horrors, fantasist, and... brilliant poet. In his work, Edgar Poe managed not only to combine important ideas of the era but also to embody them in original forms that remain captivating to this day. It is no coincidence that the American Romantic poet was close to the masters of Russian literature and influenced many of them. A thoughtful approach to fine literature was also close to Valery Bryusov, whose translations formed the basis of this edition. As an appendix, the book is supplemented with versions of both classic and modern translations of Poe's legendary poem «The Raven». In keeping with its creator, «The Raven» remains, to a large extent, a mystery for us — and each reader seeks their key to the secrets of the American master.
