Do you know Edgar Allan Poe?
He was an American author,poet,editor,and literary critic. Today,he is known and loved for his novels by a lot of people,and also his works are translated into many languages.He was good at writing mystery and detective novels and decribing the darkness in people's minds.His famous works were 'The Gold-Bug','The Black Cat' and 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue'.I think that 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' is the one of the most important works because in this novel, Poe introduced C.Auguste Dupin who was the first significant fictional detective.Afterwards,Arthur Conan Doyle who created the Sherlock Homes series and Agatha Christie who wrote Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple followed Poe's works.
'Tale of Mystery and Imagination' is a collection of short stories.'The Gold-Bug' and 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' are in this book.Other stories would be also fascinating and enchanting for you.You should try this book before you die....

Thanks for this suggestion, Daiki. I always enjoy reading detective novels, although I've never read any Edgar Allen Poe. Maybe I should borrow that book from the library too!
ReplyDeleteOK Daiki, I'll add 'reading this book' to my list of things to do before I die!
ReplyDeleteI've always been a fan of Arthur Conan Doyle (I think I get that from my Dad).
We read some of his work at school when I was about 15 and then had to write our own Sherlock Holmes story. That was quite a challenge; working out all the twists and turns of a detective mystery. I also partularly enjoyed illustrating the story with my own drawings of old Victorian streets and hansom cabs. :-)
