Edgar Allan Poe: Der Rabe / The Raven Gaby von Borstel und Peter Eickmeyer

In the organizer's words:

"Looking gloomily into the dark, I stood long, fixed and gray..."

In 1845, Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" appeared in a newspaper edition of the "Evening Mirror". This poetic tale was his breakthrough. The spectacular recitations of his chilling poem cast a spell over their audience: a cabinet piece of dark, hypnotizing musicality. "The Raven" and its author are on everyone's lips and are celebrated. For a short time, fate seems to have been kind to Edgar Allan Poe, who died only four years later at the age of 40 under unexplained circumstances. Today, Poe's work is part of world literature.

Following the book "Heinrich Heine - eine Lebensfahrt", Gaby von Borstel and Peter Eickmeyer dedicate their illustrated edition of this gruesome classic to another heavyweight of poetry.
