«Le portrait ovale» is a horror short story by Edgar Allan Poe, published by Editions Reflets d'ailleurs in paperback, 28 pages, in French.
A wounded man takes refuge in an abandoned castle and becomes fascinated by the portrait of a young woman; a book found beside him reveals the story of that image. This edition from the Caviardages collection adds a literary game: original text, an already modified version, and space for the reader to create their own by crossing out words.
The story comes from «Nouvelles histoires extraordinaires», in the French translation by Charles Baudelaire; it was published in 1842 as «The Oval Portrait». It is part of the Caviardages collection.
Designed for readers who want to approach the classics playfully, creating their own versions by removing words.
Nineteenth-century American writer, poet and literary critic, master of horror tales and father of modern detective fiction.
