愛倫坡 (Edgar Allan Poe) 生於1809119日。

在「洩秘的心臟」 (The Tell-Tale Heart) 一書裡,一個男人承認犯了謀殺罪,並且把屍體藏在家裡的地板下。但是,男人開始喪失理智,他聽到受害者的心臟瘋狂的跳著,而且心跳聲越來越響亮。你也可以試著去看「黑貓」 (The Black Cat) 或者是「摩爾格街兇殺案」 (Murders in the Rue Morgue) 這兩本小說。

除了恐怖小說與偵探推理小說之外,愛倫坡也有充滿浪漫的作品,他那首讓人不住縈繞在心的「安娜貝爾.李」 (
Annabel Lee) 一詩,就是一例。

「月亮的每一絲清輝都使我夢見

美麗的安娜貝拉.
群星的每一次升空都令我覺得秋波在閃動
是美麗的安娜貝拉.李」

你能瞭解寫出這些不可思議作品之作者的生活是怎麼樣的嗎?

In"The Tell-Tale Heart," a man commits a murder and hides the body under the floorboards in the house. But, he begins to go mad, hearing the wild beating of his victim's heart getting louder and louder. Try reading "The Black Cat," or "Murders in the Rue Morgue."

Poe also wrote romance, like his haunting poem "Annabel Lee:"
"For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee
And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee"

What do you know about the life of the man who wrote these strange tales?
