Revenge turns deadly when the narrator, Montressor, buries his friend, Fortunato, alive as the result of a perceived insult. Like "The Black Cat" and "The Tell-Tale Heart, " "The Cask of Amontillado" is remarkable for being conveyed from the murderer's perspective. A pioneer of the short story genre, Poe's stories typically captured themes of the macabre and included elements of the mysterious. His better-known stories include "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Pit and the Pendulum", "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", "The Masque of the Red Death" and "The Tell-Tale Heart".

The Cask Of Amontillado - Short Story

Nouvelles histoires extraordinaires - Occasion

Le comédien Serge Djen lit trois nouvelles d'Edgar Allan Poe : 
- Le Masque de la Mort Rouge
- Le Démon de la Perversité
- Hop Frog

Durée : 1h00

"La Mort Rouge avait pendant longtemps dépeuplé la contrée. Jamais peste ne fut si fatale, si horrible. Son avatar, c'était le sang, la rougeur et la hideur du sang. C'étaient des douleurs aiguës, un vertige soudain, et puis un suintement abondant par les pores, et la dissolution de l'être. Des taches pourpres sur le corps, et spécialement sur le visage de la victime, la mettaient au ban de l'humanité, et lui fermaient tout secours et toute sympathie. L'invasion, le résultat de la maladie, tout cela était l'affaire d'une demi-heure."

C'est ici dans la fête, la farce et la mascarade qu'Edgar Allan Poe fait naître ses histoires. Et quand arrive le moment, la plainsanterie devient terriblement macabre. Le comédien Serge Djen se sert de tout son art pour nous conter ces trois histoires extraordinaires.

La barrique d'amontillado

"El escarabajo de oro" es uno de los más celebrados relatos de Edgar Allan Poe. Publicado por primera vez en 1843, narra el hallazgo de un tesoro en la isla de Sullivan cerca de Charleston. Maestro en el manejo de elementos fantásticos, inventor de la novela policíaca, ingenioso constructor de ambientes inquietantes en los que se mueven turbadoras presencias, Allan Poe va sumiéndonos gradualmente en el horror inseparable del ser, nos invita a tratar de entender por qué la certeza sólo se encuentra en los sueños.

El escarabajo de oro

Considered to be the first literary detective, C. Auguste Dupin turns his deductive skills to solving two seemingly un-solvable mysteries. In "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" Dupin must deduce the identity of the murderer of Madame L'Espanaye and her daughter despite contradictory witnesses and puzzling evidence. In "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt" Dupin again uses his skills to discover the identity of the murderer of Marie Rogêt, whose body has been discovered in the Seine River. A pioneer of the short story genre, Poe's stories typically captured themes of the macabre and included elements of the mysterious. His better-known stories include "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Pit and the Pendulum", "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", "The Masque of the Red Death" and "The Tell-Tale Heart".

The Murders In The Rue Morgue & The Mystery Of Marie Roget - Short Story

En pleine nuit, des cris effrayants réveillent les habitants de la rue Morgue, à Paris. Ils vont bientôt découvrir les cadavres atrocement mutilés d'une jeune fille et de sa mère. Des meurtres qui auraient pu rester inexplicables, sans la présence d'Auguste Dupin, un jeune et brillant détective amateur...

Double assassinat dans la rue Morgue ; la lettre volée

Poe found the germ of the story he would develop into ARTHUR GORDON PYM in 1836 in a newspaper account of the shipwreck and subsequent rescue of the two men on board. Published in 1838, this rousing sea adventure follows New England boy, Pym, who stows away on a whaling ship with its captain's son, Augustus. The two boys repeatedly find themselves on the brink of death or discovery and witness many terrifying events, including mutiny, cannibalism, and frantic pursuits. Poe imbued this deliberately popular tale with such allegorical richness, biblical imagery, and psychological insights that the tale has come to influence writers as various as Melville, James, Verne and Nabokov.
