Bon-Bon - Edgar Allan Poe - e-kniha

eBook: "Bon-Bon", is a banterous, satirical tale synonymous of Poe's talents. It follows a famed chef and self-styled philosopher Pierre Bon-Bon, on a snowy winters night of solitary drinking, abruptly disturbed by the embodiment of evil itself, the Devil. A surprisingly pleasant house guest, Pierre invites the devil to a night of indulgent drinking in an attempt to extract some potent ethical statements he can publish as his own. This story is characterised by sharp satirical jabs at classical philosophers, genuinely witty exchanges and a healthy dose of euphemism, made all the more impactful by the absurdity of this chance encounter. This tale will leave readers with something to chew on.
