  • A full unabridged audiobook of the classic gothic story, "The Fall of the House of Usher", by Edgar Allan Poe - complete with sounds and visuals.
    The story concerns the narrator’s visit to a strange mansion owned by his childhood friend, who is behaving increasingly oddly as he and his twin sister dwell within the ‘melancholy’ atmosphere of the house.
    It was first published in 1839 in Burton's Gentleman's Magazine, then included in the collection Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque in 1840.
    Read by Elliot Fitzpatrick.

    … as a German Biologist - 1970…
    In 10 th Grade in our German High School -
    we had an over ambitious English Teacher
    making us read this story.
    It instantly impacted me -
    even with our poor English and ignorance
    The words sound like Music…
    Until this moment…

    I really enjoyed this reading! Good job! I came to listen to this after reading, "The Fall" by Bethany Griffin. I wanted to learn more about the Usher's, and am thoroughly impressed with both authors. I'm a bit disappointed because neither of the tellings had cozy, happy endings but I shouldn't have expected that. Lol. Thanks for reading!

    • @classicaudiobookswithelliot

    Everyone should have read it at least three times before listening to the audiobook. However good interpretation may it be, it never ever paints the picture on the canvas of imagination, as unique perspective of the reader's personal emotions shaped by one's life experience would. We are getting way too lazy.

  • @mamawray
    @mamawray Před měsícem

    Never cared for this tale. I like most of Poe's work but this story is all tone, flat characters and almost no plot. Dull by comparison with Hop-Frog, Mask of the Red Death, Pit and the Pendulum, The Black Cat, Cask of Amontillado and Tell-Tale Heart.
    I appreciate this recording, because I needed to "re-read" the text (I've read it several times over the years) and I don't think I could have forced myself to actually read it yet again.

    • @classicaudiobookswithelliot

    The Netflix series bears no resemblance to Poe’s masterful work. Why can’t they leave the classics alone. Make your own damn stories. What’s next, a cartoon version of the “Red Death?”

    • @Ali-po9le
      @Ali-po9le Před 8 měsíci +1

      I think so far it's done a good job of staying true to the poem while also having its own spin on things. I do agree I hate remakes and such, but some of them are okay. This being one.

    • @Soup_of_goop
      @Soup_of_goop Před 8 měsíci +1

      I actually really like the execution of the Netflix series. It takes ideas from many of Poe's works and wraps them together into this larger story. I personally am not super familiar with Poe's poems except for a couple I read in school. But from what I know almost every major character is named after someone from Poe's stories, and if you know the works going in you could see their fates coming and how they've been changed to fit this setting.

    • @Ali-po9le
      @Ali-po9le Před 8 měsíci +1

      @Soup_of_goop so much from his works were intertwined with the story, the poem Annabelle Lee, lenore dying young. That murders of rue morgue, the black cat, obviously the raven lol. The tell tale heart. Soooo many stories I absolutely loved it. Even the jester is in one of his poems. Perry's name and his whole story. The name of their mom is poes actual moms name the cats name was Pluto, and that was poes cats real name. Arthur pyms expedition... like everything in that whole show was somehow connected to either poe or his works.
