20169781532955235-2025CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform 2016. Hardcover. New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Edgar Allan Poe</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9781532955235</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2016</p><p><strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 42</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> For the most wild yet most homely narrative which I am about to pen I neither expect nor solicit belief. Mad indeed would I be to expect it in a case where my very senses reject their own evidence. Yet mad am I not—and very surely do I not dream. But tomorrow I die and to-day I would unburden my soul. Le personnage principal de l'histoire est depuis son enfance « fou » des animaux. Il possède un chat noir nommé Pluton auquel il est particulièrement attaché. Or le narrateur devient alcoolique et violent avec ses animaux et sa femme mais une considération suffisante l’empêche de battre Pluton. Une nuit alors qu’il rentre chez lui ivre il s’empare de son chat et avec son canif lui sort l’œil de l’orbite. À partir de ce moment-là le chat se met à le fuir avec terreur. Un autre matin le narrateur saisit le chat et le pend à la branche d'un arbre où il le laisse mourir. Pendant la nuit la maison prend feu mystérieusement obligeant le narrateur à s'enfuir avec sa femme et le serviteur. Le lendemain le narrateur retourne visiter les ruines de sa maison où il découvre sur le seul mur qui a échappé à l'incendie la forme d'un chat gigantesque attaché au cou à une corde. Cette image le terrifie. Quelque temps plus tard il trouve un chat similaire dans une taverne. Il a la même taille et la même couleur que l'original et il lui manque aussi un œil. La seule différence est une tache blanche sur la poitrine de l'animal. Le narrateur le prend chez lui mais se met bientôt à le détester et même à éprouver de la peur à son égard. Ce chat ne lui apporte dans sa vie que de l'angoisse. Un jour où le narrateur et sa femme visitent la cave de leur nouvelle maison le narrateur se prend les pieds dans le chat et tombe au bas de l'escalier. Pris de fureur l'homme saisit une hache et tente de tuer le chat mais sa femme l'en empêche. Dans sa colère il tue sa femme en lui transperçant le crâne avec la hache. Pour dissimuler son crime il enlève des briques d’un mur place le corps derrière et rebouche le trou. La police alertée par les voisins vient visiter la cave mais elle ne trouve pas de cadavre. La police est sur le point de partir quand le narrateur se met à parler du mur en vantant sa solidité puis comme pour prouver ses dires il le tape avec sa canne. Tout à coup un bruit se fait entendre comme des gémissements la police alertée par ces bruits arrache les briques pour découvrir d'où ils viennent. Et c'est alors qu'ils découvrent le cadavre. Sur sa tête se trouve le chat que le meurtrier avait emmuré avec sa maîtresse en refermant le trou. Horrifié il explique : « j'avais muré le monstre dans la tombe ! »</p> CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform hardcover
