Abstract

This article discusses the perspective of Ramón Gómez de la Serna, a Spanish writer and journalist, on the genius of Edgar Allan Poe. Gómez de la Serna views Poe as a nonconformist who seeks to express the depths of human experience. The article highlights Gómez de la Serna's book, "Edgar Poe: El genio de América," which explores Poe's ability to capture the essence of what it means to be human through his writing. Gómez de la Serna emphasizes Poe's talent for delving into memory, passion, and the hidden impulses of society through the use of the grotesque and the arabesque in his tales.
