Sinossi

The Complete Works of Edgar Allan Poe encapsulates the entirety of Poe's oeuvre, highlighting his mastery in the realms of poetry, short stories, and critical essays. This collection serves as a foundational text in American literature, showcasing Poe's unique contributions to the Gothic genre and the development of the short story form. With his signature blend of dark romanticism and psychological intensity, Poe's works explore themes of death, madness, and the uncanny, all while employing a richly layered narrative style that combines lyrical prose with meticulous structural precision. Through tales such as "The Tell-Tale Heart" and poems like "The Raven," readers encounter a landscape of human emotion that is both haunting and profound. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was a pioneer of the American literary canon, often credited with establishing the detective fiction genre and introducing elements of horror and Gothic fiction into mainstream literature. His turbulent life, marked by personal tragedy and a constant struggle with addiction, deeply influenced his writing style and thematic preoccupations. Poe's background in literary criticism and his experiences with themes of isolation and despair resonate throughout his works, giving readers a glimpse into his complex psyche. This complete collection is a must-read for anyone interested in the foundations of modern literature. Poe's profound insights into the human condition and his innovative narrative techniques make this work essential for both scholars and casual readers alike. Engaging with Poe's complete works invites an exploration of the darkness within us all, providing both entertainment and profound reflection.

    Ian Fleming was a true visionary, a dualistic individual who spent much time in his early life in a "special" school in Austria. It was here where he learned the sacred ways of the early Gnostics and Occultists and developed the very root of the enigmatic secret and eternal charisma of James Bond. 
     
    Fleming explicitly said that Bond was Manichean, a distinctly Gnostic concept. The Bond books and films are strategically seeded with alchemical and Gnostic references for those with "the eyes to see". Fleming associated with mystics and initiated individuals around the globe. 
     
    In the Bond Code, we shall see how deep this web of the occult truly went. Fleming lived in a fantasy world that led him into a land of sinister and esoteric thought. He created his own alter-ego as a great alchemical work to fulfill his own tumultuous and chaotic mind, and he left behind a set of clues and codes for us to decipher. 
     
    Philip Gardiner finally unravels the secret of James Bond, piece by piece, radically reappraising everything we thought we knew about this secret agent and his creator. 
     
    Join us on this journey in a very special and unique audio book version.
