The works of Edgar Allan Poe, a widely known author of mystical stories, are presented in the collection in all their genre diversity. The book includes classic examples of horror, detective stories featuring amateur detective C. Auguste Dupin, and light social sketches with moralistic plots and subtle humor. 'The Fall of the House of Usher', which gave the collection its name, is a recognized classic of 'scary stories'. The crack in the building, which becomes the stage for dark events, from the very first lines prepares the reader for a tragic outcome - the destruction of the mansion and the death of its owners. The crack, fracture, loss of harmony - a key image for understanding Edgar Allan Poe's world. In a series of events, there is a sudden malfunction: they lose their natural logic and show life from an unexpected side, exposing its unknowable nature, criminal undercurrent, or the comicality of unforeseen twists of fate. The text has been shortened and adapted. Level B1. Adaptation, abridgment, and vocabulary: Zagorodnyaya I.B.
