Arthur Gordon Pyms Äventyr
Edgar Allan Poes enda avslutade roman Arthur Gordon Pyms äventyr (1838) tar sin början på valfångarön Nantucket utanför New Englands kust och slutar bland de skrämmande isbergen på den outforskade Sydpolen. Det beryktade sjöäventyret har gått till historien som en av de mest fasansväckande, gåtfulla och udda romaner som skrivits. Betraktad som ett obscent fiasko när den ursprungligen publicerades, kom romanen - liksom hela Poes författarskap - efter hans död att omvärderas och anses som ett av den västerländska litteraturens ikoniska verk - en klassiker som satt otaliga spår i vår litteratur. Den som läser romanen idag kommer känna igen många av de litterära grepp och teman Poe gjort till sitt signum - den geniala blandningen av vetenskaplig korrekthet och dramatiserade, emotionella scener. Allt framfört på ett musikaliskt språk som å ena sidan kännetecknas av en klinisk precision, å andra sidan svämmar över av stilistiska ornament och egensinniga språkbroderier. Till denna utgåva har författaren och kritikern Gabriella Håkansson skrivit ett djuplodande efterord som belyser ofta förbisedda aspekter hos Poes epokgörande roman, såsom de sociala omständigheterna kring bokens tillkomst, äventyrsromanens plats i det amerikanska nationsbygget, den ideologiska rasismen och Poes grava alkoholism.

Den Svarta Katten
En man lever i stillsam harmoni med sin fru och katt tills något mörkt vaknar inom honom. Driven av alkohol och ett oförklarligt raseri gör han saker han knappt själv förstår. Men ondskan lämnar inte mannen, och när en ny katt dyker upp som en spegelbild av den första, dras han steg för steg djupare in i en mardröm han inte kan fly ifrån.I »Den svarta katten« utforskar Edgar Allan Poe människans mörkaste impulser och det tunna gränslandet mellan förnuft och vansinne. Det är en gastkramande novell om skuld och öde, där det förflutna alltid hittar ett sätt att komma tillbaka.I översättning av Anna Pyk. EDGAR ALLAN POE [1809-1849] var en amerikansk författare, född i Boston. Efter korta försök inom universitetsvärlden och militären blev han biträdande redaktör för tidskriften Southern Literary Messenger i Richmond och började arbeta som litteraturkritiker och författare. Mest känd och beundrad är Edgar Allan Poe för sina många mästerliga noveller, bland dem »Det skvallrande hjärtat« [1843], »Huset Ushers undergång« [1839] och »Den svarta katten« [1843].
