More about the book
The two stories presented here allow for the exploration of two opposing poles of Poe's writing. In "The Purloined Letter," the reader will discover a thrilling detective story tinged with gentle ironies in the purest style of the American writer, yet it contains a declaration of principles: human affairs represent a mystery to which poetic imagination proves more effective than mathematical reason and the accuracy of its axioms. In "Berenice," we enter the realm of morbid melancholy, the beauty of the macabre, terror, and fascination with monstrous acts during the passage to the beyond.
