Edgar Allan Poe or the Ambiguity of Death

Thus, Giuseppe Cafiero offers us an analysis of Poe's disturbing writing in the light of conversations with the characters who marked his life and who live in the painful and dark pages of his work. Also, of the friendships and enmities that contributed to the frustrating and delirious restlessness of the great writer.
