Em 1919 a editora londrina George G. Harrap & Co. lançou uma antologia de contos de Edgar Allan Poe, que àquela altura já era reconhecido como o pai das histórias de suspense e mistério. A edição, porém, não se limitava a reproduzir as narrativas: luxuosa, ela foi ilustrada pelo irlandês Harry Clarke (1889-1931). É exatamente essa edição que o selo Tordesilhas lança no Brasil, mas com um precioso acréscimo: posfácio de Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867), primeiro tradutor de Poe para o francês e a reconhecer a genialidade do escritor norte-americano.

Book Details

First Sentence

"Literatura da decadência! — Palavras sem sentido que frequentemente ouvimos cair, com o som enfático de um bocejo, da boca daquelas esfinges sem segredo que velam às santas portas da Estética clássica."
