This is an audio recording of Edgar Allen Poe's classic short story The Oval Portrait.
This tale follows a young narrator seeking refuge in an old castle during a stormy night. Intrigued by a portrait of a woman, he uncovers its haunting backstory. The painting depicts the wife of a passionate painter who neglected her for his art. Desperate to capture her essence, he demanded her immobility, leading to her demise. As the painter completed the portrait on the night of her death, he realized his wife had perished in the process. The portrait absorbed her life force. The narrator reflects on the power and destructive nature of art, considering the sacrifices made by the painter's wife. Haunted by the tragic tale, he departs the castle, forever affected by the image of the oval portrait.
Edgar Allen Poe, a 19th Century American writer, poet, and literary critic, is widely regarded as one of the greatest contributors to Gothic and detective fiction. He helped to shape the horror genre in literature and authored iconic works such as The Cask of Amontillado, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Fall of the House of Usher, and The Pit and the Pendulum. Although best known for these short stories, Poe is also a distinguished poet, whose beautifully constructed works such as The Raven, To Helen, and Annabel Lee are said to stand beside the works of other celebrated poets. Despite his enormous success as a writer, Poe lived a relatively short life marked by tragedy, personal struggles and financial insecurity. Yet he remains an iconic artist with immense influence over generations of writers. Named after him, the Edgar Award, one of the most prestigious awards for works in the mystery genre, is offered annually by the Mystery Writers of America.
