Résumé

A satirical story with a moral tint, "Never Bet the Devil Your Head" follows a narrator, fashioned after Poe himself, who is attacked by critics for his inability to produce a moral literary piece. To counter his critics, the narrator tells the story of a friend fond for rhetorically invoking the Devil, and his unusual end. A blend of supernatural and the bizarre, make the story a light-hearted, provocatively funny read that is doomed to be loved by anyone.Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) is a titan of literature. Most famous for his poetry, short stories, and tales of the supernatural and macabre, his body of work continues to resonate to this day. Poe is widely regarded as the inventor of the detective genre and a contributor to the emergence of science fiction, dark romanticism, and weird fiction. His most famous works include "The Raven" (1945), "The Black Cat" (1943), and "The Gold-Bug" (1843).

Auteur

Edgar Allan Poe (auteur)

Né à Boston en 1809, orphelin adopté par une famille de Richmond, Edgar Allan Poe est aussi brillant dans les études qu'aberrant dans ses rapports avec autrui et sa vie amoureuse. Alcoolique invétéré, il est à la fois journaliste, poète et le plus singulier des conteurs fantastiques. Il vit tantôt à New York, tantôt à Baltimore, où il meurt en 1849.
