So this is my first entry dedicated exactly to the text of the novel By Edgar Allan Poe "The Black Raven". I've already been familiar with Poe's works, covered in mystery and soaked through with the Gothic atmosphere.
Before reading the novel I already predicted that it would be a dark mysterious story with an unexpected end. And it happened so. After reading it, I sat for some time and thought about what I had read. Unpredicted end and deaths of the main characters affected me greatly. As for me I highly appreciate those dark stories, so it was interesting for me to read, though I don't recommend it for reading to those who tremble with fear at hearing strange noises and who are not brave enough to open a book, where cruel murders would be mentioned.
So, for those who are still with me and who are interested in such reading as much as I do and who are eager to follow my steps - I recommend you to read the novel. You can find it using the following link

What's more, if you are curious enough, you can visit the virtual museum of the famous author and get to know some facts of his biography:

Try to solve a quiz on Poe's life and fiction! It is called "Fact or Fiction: A Quiz for Debunking Myths!" Are you intrigued? Frankly speaking, I haven't managed to cope with all the tricky answers and you??
Fortunately or unfortunately I'm not a brave person at all,and as a rule do not read stories of such kind. But your emotions inspired me and I wanted to read it immediately. I will follow your blog with a great pleasure)
ОтветитьУдалитьIt's such a pleasant reply for me! I'm so glad that my emotions can involve smb into the same reading! Hope, that you'll still find smth to your taste in this particular gloomy story))
УдалитьFollowing your posts I start regretting that I haven't chosen this story or at least the author))
ОтветитьУдалитьOh, so sweet) I can still develop an alternative one if you are not short of time)
УдалитьDefinitely a nice choice! Really. I read this one and liked it a lot.
ОтветитьУдалитьLooking forward to your further posts.
It would be interesting to follow your thoughts :)
Recently Poe becomes more and more popular I see... Such a nice tendency))
УдалитьWere you satisfied with the end of the story? Did it live up to your expectations? Personally, despite the fact that I liked the tense atmosphere of the story, I felt unexplainably sorry for the poor cat.
ОтветитьУдалитьThe case with the cat is dubious, the cat appears somehow the main antagonist of the story, don't you think so? This is a tale of cat's insult and immediate revenge. The cat is by all means my favourite character and I was fully satisfied with the end of the story, which lefts much room for consideration.
УдалитьOk.. Somehow I was sure that you would read another story...was I mistaken? Your description is very impressive, but I should admit this vividness still prevents me from reading such sort of literature...I suppose your bright posts will be quite enough for me))
ОтветитьУдалитьI would still turn you into our cult)) Which story do you suggest me to choose and why??
