A master of the macabre, Poe exhibits his literary prowess in these classic short stories. Contained within this volume are the following: The Gold-Bug, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Balloon-Hoax, The Purloined Letter, A Descent into the Maelstrom, The Black Cat, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Masque of the Red Death, The Cask of Amontillado, The Pit and the Pendulum, and The Tell-Tale Heart."

    Based on the Geschichte der Philosophie this edition has continued to interest scholars due to the insight it affords into Hegel's view of the history of philosophy, for an understanding of his own theory, and in itself, as the first philosophical history of philosophy.
