The Raven: Poem
4/5
()
About this ebook
While lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore, a man receives a visit from a mysterious and unsettling raven who only utters one word: “Nevermore.”
Despite the fact that his first published works were books of poetry, during his lifetime Edgar Allan Poe was recognized more for his literary criticism and prose than his poetry. However, Poe’s poetic works have since become as well-known as his famous stories, and reflect similar themes of mystery and the macabre. “The Raven” is one of the most well-known American poems and has influenced many modern writers, including Vladimir Nabokov and Ray Bradbury.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An absolute master of verse and prose
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I love Edgar Allen Poe.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5It was very slow and calm in the beginning not to much excitement. It didn’t have my attention but I read it to see if I would understand it a little more then what I thought about it. I had given up on this book because I wasn’t finding any interest and I didn’t really understand its way of explaining things or what they were doing. Yea, there were some good parts in the book I am not going to lie but not to the point where I wanted to read more about it. It’s a good book for those who are into like poem type readers or those who know how to read in the way they talked back then as like in ‘Romeo and Juliet.’ It has some mystery that is quit interesting. In some moments when I wasn’t reading the book I read the poems in the back of the book to see what they were about. They were long and not to the point. I had to read it a few times before I actually got what he was talking about.
