Produktbeschreibung

"Mellonta Tauta" is a satirical short story by Edgar Allan Poe, presented as a letter written in the year 2848 by a woman named Pundita to her friend. While traveling aboard a futuristic hot-air balloon, she offers a series of rambling observations about history, philosophy, politics, and everyday life in her own era. Through her often misguided interpretations of the past, Poe humorously critiques 19th-century society, human vanity, and the cyclical nature of civilization.

Autorenporträt

Edgar Allan Poe (1809 - 1849) was an American writer, editor and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and American literature as a whole and he was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story. Poe is generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.
