Sinopse:
Berenice is one of Edgar Allan Poe’s most unsettling early tales, built around illness, fixation, and the collapse of judgment. The narrator, Egaeus, grows up withdrawn and morbidly introspective, while his cousin Berenice appears full of life before disease begins to transform her. As Berenice’s condition worsens, Egaeus’s attention narrows into a destructive obsession. Poe turns monomania into horror, following a mind that cannot stop returning to a single image until thought becomes action and action becomes nightmare. This edition is in English and preserves Poe’s public-domain text. It is a disturbing, compact Gothic story for readers interested in psychological horror, taboo imagery, and Poe’s fascination with the fragile border between contemplation and madness.
