‘The Sphinx’ by E. A. Poe - Audiobook (Italian)

Our “Audiobooks” series continues! Ekidna narrates (in Italian) the short story ‘The Sphinx’ by Edgar Allan Poe, published in 1846.

Just as in the Decameron a group of young people takes refuge outside Florence to escape the Black Death, so — because of a cholera outbreak in New York — two friends retreat to a house on the banks of the Hudson, near a hill covered by a landslide. Their peace, however, is disturbed by an unexpected apparition. We recommend this tale to anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge of Edgar Allan Poe’s stories and to lovers of the shiver, as it gives special prominence to the emotion of fear — not to be mistaken for a feeling.
