'Ligeia und Andere Novellen' Summary
Die Sammlung "Ligeia und Andere Novellen" präsentiert eine Auswahl an Geschichten, die Poe's Meisterhaftigkeit in der Schöpfung von atmosphärischer Spannung und psychologischem Horror demonstrieren. "Ligeia" erzählt von einem Mann, der von der Schönheit und Intelligenz seiner geliebten Frau Ligeia besessen ist, die jedoch frühzeitig stirbt. Er heiratet eine andere Frau, die erschreckend Ähnlichkeiten mit Ligeia aufweist, und findet sich in einer Welt des Wahnsinns wieder. "Morella" schildert die Geschichte eines Mannes, der sich mit dem Tod seiner Frau Morella konfrontiert sieht, die ihm eine Tochter hinterlässt, die erstaunlich ihrem verstorbenen Mutterbildnis gleicht. In "Eleonora" wird die Geschichte eines jungen Mannes erzählt, der mit seiner geliebten Eleonora in einer abgeschiedenen Gegend lebt. Die tiefe Zuneigung des Paares wird durch die Krankheit und den Tod Eleonoras auf die Probe gestellt. Diese Geschichten zeigen die Faszination Poes für die Themen Tod, Trauer und die Grenzen zwischen Leben und Tod. Sie bieten eine einzigartige Mischung aus Romantik, Psychologischem Horror und dem Geheimnis des Jenseits, die den Leser bis zum Schluss fesselt.Book Details
