Varnas ir kiti eilėraščiai
Edgaras Alanas Po (1809-1849) - amerikiečių klasikas, lietuvių skaitytojams labiausiai žinomas kaip siaubo, detektyvo, romantizuotų paslapčių prozos pradininkas ir neblėstanti žvaigždė, kūrybos kelią pradėjo poezija, kuria išliejo mylimosios praradimo skausmą.1827 metais jis anonimiškai išleido knygą „Tamerlanas ir kiti eilėraščiai". Kai kurie vėlesni jo eilėraščiai - „Varnas", „Eldoradas", „Ulalumė", „Anabel Li", „Varpai" - praturtino pasaulio poezijos lobyną ir yra visų laikų geriausių eiliuotų kūrinių dešimtuke.
Mirtis, baimės, antgamtiški pojūčiai susieja Po prozą, poeziją, literatūros apmąstymus straipsniuose „Kūrybos filosofija", „Poetinis principas". Poezijoje jam rūpėjo kalbos muzika, eiliavimo struktūrų įspūdis, būsenų simbolizmas, romantiška dvasia. Be jau minėtų motyvų, poezija tapo mylimosios netekties išgyvenimų kūrybine kalba.
Ši knyga – bandymas pateikti Lietuvos skaitytojams Edgaro Alano Po poezijos visumą. Tokią užduotį sau, kaip svarbųjį gyvenimo darbą, iškėlė Algimantas Zeikus, ilgai mokytojavęs, reiškęsis literatūroje, įsimintas kaip Goethės poemos „Lapinas Reinekis" vertėjas (1997).

About the author
Edgar Allan Poe
10.7k books29.6k followersThe name Poe brings to mind images of murderers and madmen, premature burials, and mysterious women who return from the dead. His works have been in print since 1827 and include such literary classics as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, and The Fall of the House of Usher. This versatile writer’s oeuvre includes short stories, poetry, a novel, a textbook, a book of scientific theory, and hundreds of essays and book reviews. He is widely acknowledged as the inventor of the modern detective story and an innovator in the science fiction genre, but he made his living as America’s first great literary critic and theoretician. Poe’s reputation today rests primarily on his tales of terror as well as on his haunting lyric poetry.
Just as the bizarre characters in Poe’s stories have captured the public imagination so too has Poe himself. He is seen as a morbid, mysterious figure lurking in the shadows of moonlit cemeteries or crumbling castles. This is the Poe of legend. But much of what we know about Poe is wrong, the product of a biography written by one of his enemies in an attempt to defame the author’s name.
The real Poe was born to traveling actors in Boston on January 19, 1809. Edgar was the second of three children. His other brother William Henry Leonard Poe would also become a poet before his early death, and Poe’s sister Rosalie Poe would grow up to teach penmanship at a Richmond girls’ school. Within three years of Poe’s birth both of his parents had died, and he was taken in by the wealthy tobacco merchant John Allan and his wife Frances Valentine Allan in Richmond, Virginia while Poe’s siblings went to live with other families. Mr. Allan would rear Poe to be a businessman and a Virginia gentleman, but Poe had dreams of being a writer in emulation of his childhood hero the British poet Lord Byron. Early poetic verses found written in a young Poe’s handwriting on the backs of Allan’s ledger sheets reveal how little interest Poe had in the tobacco business.

Autoriaus kūryba tikrai sužavėjo, tačiau vertimas atrodo labai netikslus... Eilėraščius turiu ir anglų kalbą ir palyginus juos tikrai pasikeičia ir kūrybos kokybė... Tad nuvylė pats vertimas, o ne Edgar Allan Poe kūriniai..

Norėjau susipažinti su Poe kūryba - bet ne per daugiausiai sužavėjo. Gal ne tas laikas...
"Kai akyse ir sielą pamatau,
Ne nežinau, už ką dėkoti Tau -
Už kilnią dvasią ir gilias mintis
Ar net už jas dar gilesnes akis?"
