The short story is often viewed as an inferior relation to the Novel. But it is an art in itself. To take a story and distil its essence into fewer pages while keeping character and plot rounded and driven is not an easy task. Many try and many fail. In this series we look at short stories from many of our most accomplished writers. Miniature masterpieces with a lot to say. In this volume we examine some of the short stories of Edgar Allan Poe.

Edgar Allan Poe was one of the most original writers in the history of American letters, a genius who was tragically misunderstood in his lifetime. He was a seminal figure in the development of science fiction and the detective story, and exerted a great influence on Dostoyevsky, Arthur Conan Doyle, Jules Verne, and Charles Baudelaire, who championed him long before Poe was appreciated in his own country. Baudelaire's enthusiasm brought Poe a wide audience in Europe, and his writing came to have enormous importance for modern French literature. This edition includes his most well-known works--"The Raven, " "The Pit and the Pendulum, " "Annabel Lee, " "The Fall of the House of Usher, " "The Murders in the Rue Morgue"--as well as less-familiar stories, poems, and essays.

Está inspirado por el fenómeno del Maelström, un remolino que se produce en las costas de Noruega, formado por la conjunción de las fuertes corrientes que atraviesan el estrecho de Moskenstraumen y la gran amplitud de las mareas. El relato en sí se trata de una historia dentro de otra historia, contada desde lo alto de un abismo. Está narrada por un anciano que afirma no serlo, pese a su apariencia: "No hizo falta más que un día para transformar mis cabellos negros en canas, debilitar mis miembros y destrozar mis nervios." El narrador cuenta que un día se hizo a la mar con dos de sus hermanos, cuando se desató un terrible huracán, que atrapó el barco en su vórtice. Los dos hermanos murieron, mientras que el narrador caía al centro del remolino y se quedaba maravillado ante lo que veía. Se arrojó al agua, sujetándose a un barril. Al cabo de un tiempo impreciso, fue izado a la borda de un barco de conocidos suyos que no le reconocieron. Inspired by the Moskstraumen, it is couched as a story within a story, a tale told at the summit of a mountain climb in Lofoten, Norway. The story is told by an old man who reveals that he only appears old-"You suppose me a very old man," he says, "but I am not. It took less than a single day to change these hairs from a jetty black to white, to weaken my limbs, and to unstring my nerves." The narrator, convinced by the power of the whirlpools he sees in the ocean beyond, is then told of the "old" man's fishing trip with his two brothers a few years ago. Driven by "the most terrible hurricane that ever came out of the heavens", their ship was caught in the vortex. One brother was pulled into the waves; the other was driven mad by the horror of the spectacle, and drowned as the ship was pulled under. At first the narrator only saw hideous terror in the spectacle. In a moment of revelation, he saw that the Maelström is a beautiful and awesome creation. Observing how objects around him were attracted and pulled into it, he deduced that "the larger the bodies, the more rapid their descent" and that spherical-shaped objects were pulled in the fastest. Unlike his brother, he abandoned ship and held on to a cylindrical barrel until he was saved several hours later. The "old" man tells the story to the narrator without any hope that the narrator will believe it.

Se dice que Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) escribió EUREKA en 1847 casi de un tirón, como obedeciendo a un impulso incontenible. Cuando remata su labor, está convencido de haber producido una obra revolucionaria, superior a todas las conjeturas del pasado y del presente acerca del origen y el destino del universo: ninguno de los descubrimientos científicos de la historia de la humanidad se le acerca en importancia. Con todo, como señala Julio Cortázar -prologuista y traductor de esta obra, al igual que de sus "Cuentos", lo que explica la supervivencia y el fascinante atractivo de "Eureka" son sus valores estéticos y espirituales: "Los buenos lectores de este poema cosmogónico son aquellos que aceptan, en un plano poético, el vertiginoso itinerario intuitivo e intelectual que Poe les propone y asumen por un momento ese punto de vista divino desde el cual pretende mirar y medir la creación".

"Larga y sin piedad es la tortura aquí por la sed de sangre inocente, sin saciar, sin alimentar, ahora que la patria está protegida y rota está la gruta fúnebre, la muerte estuvo donde ahora hay vida saludable." El narrador/protagonista comienza el relato, ya agotado, en una oscura celda en donde la inquisición española encierra a las personas que condena, y donde la tortura que esta aplica consiste en la soledad, el abandono, la oscuridad, el frío y el hambre. El torturado protagonista se encuentra atado en casi su totalidad y experimenta la angustia de conocer su próxima muerte pues un péndulo desciende hacia él. Luego de medir el tamaño de su celda, este descubre un profundo pozo con agua ubicado en el centro del sitio. Seguro de que será muerto por la navaja del extremo de tal péndulo, se entretiene con la trayectoria del objeto, pero luego se le ocurre una idea, recordando que tiene a su disposición un poco de carne, comida que compartía con las ratas. Con dificultad logra rociar su cuerpo con un poco del alimento, y los roedores le saltan encima, comiendo y royendo la cuerda que le tiene atado. Ya liberado, de inmediato el péndulo se detiene y razona el hombre en cuestión que está siendo vigilado, y que ya se prepara para él una muerte quizá peor. La habitación calienta su ambiente al rojo vivo y cambia de forma reduciendo su tamaño, haciendo que las paredes se cierren en torno de el protagonista, y empujándolo al borde del ominoso pozo. El narrador se ve en la disyuntiva de morir triturado o de lanzarse al pozo que originalmente iba a ser su "sepultura". Cuando se encuentra sin más espacio para huir, totalmente desesperanzado y a punto de tirarse al pozo, una mano lo sujeta y lo salva. La mano es la de un líder militar francés que había entrado en Toledo durante las Guerras Napoleónicas y descubierto las torturas a las que eran sometidas las víctimas de la inquisición. The story depicts the Spanish Inquisition. An unnamed narrator is brought to trial before sinister judges. Poe provides no explanation of why he is there or what he has been arrested for. Before him are seven tall white candles on a table, and, as they melt, his hopes of survival also diminish. He is condemned to death and finds himself in a pitch black compartment. At first the prisoner thinks that he is locked in a tomb, but then he discovers that he is in a cell. He decides to explore the cell by placing a hem from his robe against a wall so that he can count the paces around the room, but he faints before he can measure the whole perimeter. When he reawakens he discovers food and water nearby. He tries to measure the cell again, and finds that the perimeter measures one hundred steps. While crossing the room he slips on the hem of his robe and discovers that if he had not tripped, he would have walked into a deep pit in the center of the cell, with water at the bottom. After losing consciousness again the narrator discovers that the prison is slightly illuminated and that he is bound to a wooden board by ropes. He looks up to see a painted picture of Father Time on the ceiling. Hanging from the figure is a gigantic pendulum with a crescent razor measuring "one feet from horn to horn," and swinging slowly back and forth. The pendulum is inexorably sliding downwards and will eventually kill him. However, the condemned man is able to attract rats to his bonds with the meat left for him to eat and they start chewing through the ropes. As the pendulum reaches a point inches above his heart, the prisoner breaks free of the ropes and watches as the pendulum is drawn back to the ceiling.
