Английский сводит вас с ума? Сходите с ума вместе с героями Эдгара Аллана По! Безумцы и гениальные детективы, аристократы и морские путешественники ждут, пока вы присоединитесь к их мистическим приключениям. В книгу вошли лучшие рассказы из различных сборников Эдгара Аллана По. Мастер психологической прозы, один из родоначальников жанров мистики, хоррора и детектива, – это тот автор, знакомство с которым вы не хотите упустить. Его рассказы полны напряжения, подобно лучшим фильма Хичкока. Ими вдохновлялись А. Конан Дойль, Г. Ф. Лавкрафт, В. Брюсов и К. Бальмонт. Даже критически настроенный В. Набоков, отвечая на вопрос "Кто из американских писателей ему нравится больше всего?", назвал Эдгара Аллана По. Текст адаптирован для начинающих изучение английского языка (уровень 1 - Beginner (A1-A2)). Книга содержит словарь, подробные комментарии и упражнения для проверки понимания прочитанного. Сложный и витиеватый стиль По стал гораздо доступнее, благодаря адаптации, которую подготовила замечательный лингвист и опытный автор учебных пособий Александра Игоревна Смирнова.
