EDGAR ALLAN POE NO CLUB DE LECTURA


Hoxe tivemos a segunda reunión do club de lectura. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) vai ser o noso primeiro autor de este curso. So viviu 40 anos e este ano celébrase o bicentenario do seu nacemento.
É un dos grandes clásicos da literatura de misterio e terror. Considerado por algúns como o precursos da novela po
Aquí tedes un corto basado nun conto seu: O corazón delator.

Serviu de inspiración a Lou Reed e tamén a Radio Futura, destes últimos podedes ver un videoclip da sua canción Annabel Lee, basada no último poema completo composto polo escritor.


Vía Biblioteca A3P
A quí tedes a letra da cancion "Edgar Allan Poe" (The Raven) de Lou Reed.

These are the stories of Edgar Allan Poe
not exactly the boy next door
He'll tell you tales of horror
then he'll play with your mind
if you haven't heard of him
you must be deaf or blind

These are the stories of Edgar Allan Poe
not exactly the boy next door

He'll tell you about Usher
whose house burned in his mind
his love for his dear sister
her death would drive him wild
The murder of a stranger
the murder of a friend
the callings from the pits of hell
that never seem to end

These are the stories of Edgar Allan Poe
not exactly the boy next door
These are the stories of Edgar Allan Poe
not exactly the boy next door

The diabolic image of the city and the sea
the chaos and the carnage that reside deep within me
Decapitations, poisonings, hellish not a bore
you won't need 3D glasses to pass beyond this door

Edgar Allan Poe
not exactly the boy next door

No Nosferatu Vincent Price or naked women here
a mind unfurled, a mind unbent is all we have here
Truth, fried orangutans flutter to the stage
leave your expectations home
And listen to the stories of Edgar Allan Poe

We give you the soliloquy the raven at the door
flaming pits the moving walls no equilibrium
No ballast, no bombast
the unvarnished truth we've got
mind swoons guilty
cooking ravings in a pot

Edgar Allan Poe
not exactly the boy next door
Edgar Allan Poe
not exactly the boy next door

Tell-tale heart a rotting cask
a valley of unrest
a conqueror worm devouring souls
keep the best for last
Rings for Annie Lee
as Poe's buried alive
regretting his beloved's death in
all her many guises-a

Aquí, en La máquina del tiempo, podedes ler algún relato en varios idiomas e textos sobre él de diversos autores como Baudelaire ou Borges.
