Edgar Allan Poe is a famous American poet, prose writer, critic, and journalist. A man of dazzling talent and sad fate. Haters and admirers, imitators and followers - all of them, and for more than one century, have been haunted by Poe's legacy. His influence as a writer and poet on world literature is enormous. In the field of poetry, this includes Charles Baudelaire, French symbolism, and almost the entire Russian Silver Age. In this bilingual edition, Poe is presented precisely in the guise of a poet. “The creation of beauty through rhythm” is how Poe, the author of such poetic masterpieces as “The Raven”, “Annabel Lee”, “Ulalyum”, “The Bells”, “Linor”, defined poetry. In his poems, Poe turns away from “life as it is” and creates a different reality, unclear and foggy, the reality of dreams and dreams, which for more than a century has not let go of admirers of the work of the brilliant poet.
