Edgar Allan Poe (1809–49) reigned unrivaled in his mastery of mystery during his lifetime and is now widely held to be a central figure of Romanticism and gothic horror in American literature. Born in Boston, he was orphaned at age three, was expelled from West Point for gambling, and later became a well-regarded literary critic and editor. "The Raven," published in 1845, made Poe famous. He died in 1849 under what remain mysterious circumstances and is buried in Baltimore, Maryland.
Horacio Quiroga naît à Salto Oriental en Uruguay en 1878 et se suicide à Buenos Aires en 1937. Il s'installe à San Ignacio en pleine forêt tropicale où il s'essaiera à plusieurs exploitations, dont celle du coton. Fasciné par la forêt, toute son œuvre en porte l'empreinte, celle de la folie et de la violence. Considéré comme le maître de la nouvelle latino-américaine, il est l'égal de Maupassant pour le post-naturalisme et celui de Villiers de l'Isle-Adam pour les inventions cruelles. Le chant de la mélancolie de la mort envahit ses récits, d'une beauté exceptionnelle, où perce la vulnérabilité de l'existence.
Spanish realist (1852-1901) best known for the novel _La regenta_. Alas is also known as Clarín.
