On Cryptography, Literature, and Cats
One of Poe's interests was cryptography, to which he dedicated the article «A Few Words on Cryptography« and laid out his thoughts on code decryption.
Another of Poe's interests was cats, or rather, a cat named Cattarina, who lived with him for almost ten years and inspired the author to write the essay «Instinct vs. Reason – The Black Cat», in which the writer argues that the instinct of animals can be a more powerful force than the human mind.
This collection also includes essays on literature and the prose poem «Eureka», which the writer considered the main work of his entire life.
