About this ebook
« Ardemment je souhaitais le jour – vainement j’avais cherché d’emprunter à mes livres un sursis au chagrin – au chagrin de la Lénore perdue – de la rare et rayonnante jeune fille que les anges nomment Lénore : – de nom pour elle ici, non, jamais plus !
Et de la soie l’incertain et triste bruissement en chaque rideau purpural me traversait – m’emplissait de fantastiques terreurs pas senties encore : si bien que, pour calmer le battement de mon cœur, je demeurais maintenant à répéter "C’est quelque visiteur qui sollicite l’entrée, à la porte de ma chambre – quelque visiteur qui sollicite l’entrée, à la porte de ma chambre ; c’est cela et rien de plus." » (Extrait du Corbeau.)

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5awsome poetry
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The Raven is a narrative poem by Edgar Allan Poe. The poem tells a story about a talking raven that mysteriously visits a man in the night. The man is mourning the lose of his love, Lenore. The raven seems to make this man who is suffering suffer even more by telling him "nevermore". The main theme of this poem is undying devotion. The man starts out being "weak and weary" and ends with him turning into a mad man. I absolutely love this poem. It is a tragic poem about the lose of a loved one. After the poem, the kids could tell you what they think the poems meaning is.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I've read The Raven a few times in the past, but never "properly". Because of the reputation this poem has, I hoped that this was why I didn't appreciate it as much as it seems I should have.I decided to finally sit down and read through it a few times slowly, and think about it properly.And yes, it does get better with repetition, and yes, it is worth spending some time thinking about. Rather than wondering why people really like The Raven, I now really like it myself. I still don't find it exceptional, but it's definitely a thoughtful, emotional piece of writing that I think is not only worth reading, but also worth re-reading and thinking about.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Raven is a classic poem that I expect everyone has heard of. Imagine how you'd feel if you heard a knock at your door, only there was nobody there. Then you hear it again and so you open the window, only to have a raven fly in and perch itself above your door. It then just sits there looking at you and croaking "Nevermore". That's what happens in this poem and it's really very haunting.I loved the way the words flowed so easily in this poem. It almost sounds like a song.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I'm sure this story is chocked full of symbolism and meaning but I didn't see it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A must read for anyone - Poe's genius at play.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Getting a head start, reading some of the shorter works to dispel the boredom in reading through Grimm.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Still creepy! And memorable to my 6yo who was quoting it weeks later. As chance would have it, I was in Charleston a month later, and hearing the ghost story about the little girl who was the "lost love" object of this poem, Poe then being in his 20s and the girl being 12 or 13 when he surreptitiously courted her.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Raven is a legendary poem, but within the other poems included are more words that will ring with great familiarity. Beautifully flowing poetry from an iconic author.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very high quality work from Poe. Possibly among the best work produced by American writers...
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/54.5*Book source ~ Free onlineEdgar Allan Poe’s celebrated poem available and narrated by Christopher Walken.It’s Edgar Allan Poe and Christopher Walken. How bad can it be? As it turns out, not bad at all. There were a few times the background noise was distracting (the guitars for instance), but overall this was wonderful.
