The name Edgar Allan Рое conjures up thoughts of hearts beating long after their owners are dead, of disease and plague amid wealth, and of love that extends beyond the grave. The richness of Poe`s writing, however, includes much more than horror, loss, and death. Poe`s stories teem with irony and black humor, in addition to plot twists and surprise endings. Living by their own rules and charged with passion, Poe`s characters are instantly recognizable— even though we may be appalled by their actions, we understand their motivations. This collection contains eleven of Poe`s best stories. They are "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Pit and the Pendulum," "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Cask of Amontillado," "The Premature Burial,"...

Blood. That’s what Martin Nanther’s great-grandfather Henry was interested in. As Queen Victoria’s favoured physician he became expert in diseases of the blood, particularly the royal disease of haemophilia. But, as Martin discovers whilst researching Henry’s life, he was not just expert – he was obsessed.

The complete 117 images that triggered a religious revolution. Martin Luther`s Bible, published in 1534, was the first complete German Bible and a pivotal event in the history of Christianity. Luther`s revolutionary translation, modern in vernacular and interpretation, made the Bible accessible to laypeople, fueled anger and revulsion toward Rome and the Papacy, and begat a new religion: Protestantism. The most desirable copies came with shockingly graphic and politically-charged illustrations, such as those depicting the Whore of Babylon riding a seven-headed beast while wearing the Papal crown, or the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse led by a Turkish soldier. Taschen is publishing the 117 hand-colored woodcut illustrations, created in...
