"Penguin Readers" is a series of simplified novels, film novelizations and original titles that introduce students at all levels to the pleasures of reading in English.

"Penguin Readers" are graded at seven levels of difficulty, from "Easystarts" with a 200-word vocabulary, to Level 6 (Advanced) with a 3000-word vocabulary. In addition, titles fall into one of three sub-categories: "Contemporary", "Classics" or "Originals". At the end of each book there is a section of enjoyable exercises focusing on vocabulary building, comprehension, discussion and writing. Some titles in the series are available with an accompanying audio cassette, or in a book and cassette pack.Additionally, selected titles have free accompanying "Penguin Readers Factsheets" which provide stimulating exercise material for students, as well as suggestions for teachers on how to exploit the Readers in class.

Escrito por Edgar Allan Poe
Boston, (1809-1849). Edgar Allan Poe, poeta, cuentista y crítico estadounidense, consideró la poesía como máxima expresión de la literatura, y a ella dedicó todos sus esfuerzos. Pero la genialidad y la originalidad de Edgar Allan Poe encuentran quizás su mejor expresión en los cuentos, que suelen desarrollarse la mayoría en un ambiente gótico y siniestro, plagado de intervenciones sobrenaturales, representando en buena medida el preludio de la literatura moderna de terror.
