The best minds of the XIX century, among which writers-symbolists Charles Baudelaire and Konstantin Balmont, admired the realism of the soulful sufferers described in the works of the "damned poet" and professionalism with which they balanced between the horror of life and the joy of death. The people who are not deprived of the thinking of the thought of Edgar stated that the name of the Creator was shrouded in the halo of the romantic sufferer in the history of world literature.

Childhood and youth

The future spiritual mentor Howard Lovekraft was born on January 19, 1809 in the Northeast of the United States in the capital of Massachusetts - Boston city. Parents of the poet Elizabet

h Arnold Hopkins and David PO were creatively gifted people. Mother - an English actress emigrated to America, and Father - a student of the Faculty of Law from Baltimore, who preferred a feast of a hysed edition of the lawyer. From the biography of the genius of literary Arabesca, it is known that, in addition to him, two more children were brought up in the family: the elder brother William Henry Leonard (1807-1831) and the younger sister Rosalie (1810-1874).

The head of the family left his wife when Edgar barely fulfilled the year. There is nothing known about the fate of a man for now. In 1811, the mother of the poet died from Chakhotka. All three children officially found adoptive parents. Edgar hit the seven co-owner of a trading company dealing with cotton and tobacco sales, John Allan and his wife Francis. Spouses, being a lot of personalities, had a great influence in Richmond's elite circles, where they lived before departure to England.

In the house of Allanov, no warmth, neither the boy found a care that he was so lacking. Francis Soul did not chase in Edgar and did not give up a child who considered his relatives. John did not share his wife's delight. The man did not understand why his beloved preferred adoption by the natural process of childbearing. Despite some misunderstanding, the merchant also indulged the adoptive son. As a child, Edgar was at his disposal all he was pleased. Price restriction on whims and needs Parents did not put at that time.

Edgar early showed the ability to study, and in 5 years he was given to school. In 1815, the Allanov family went to the UK to earn money. There are a harsh climate and no less severe customs of English educational institutions. In America, he returned to her strengthen, not by the years developed adolescent. The knowledge gained by the future poet in the Old World made it possible to do without much difficulty in 1820 to a local college. However, the financial difficulties faced by the family on returning to their homeland, and periodically arising between Francis and John conflicts had a negative impact on software.

The once cheerful guy became increasingly retired in his room, preferring the society of books to the noisy companies of peers. In the period of voluntary maternity, the interest of Edgar to poe

try was manifested. Allan did not understand the new hobbies of the young man. According to the devoid of creative thinking of a man, the best occupation for Edgar would be a diligent work in a family store, where in the future could achieve the right to share in the case. During the quarrel, the reason for which were different life priorities, John constantly reminded the receiving son that his life was entirely depends on the guardian.

Being a college student, without memory fell in love with his friend's mother Jane Steard. Communication of the solid age of ladies and a fermented young man was reduced to the hoodie meetings and conversations at night. Subsequently, Edgar devoted his beloved poem "Elena" (so prose called the chosen). The first time in life was happy. True, the pretters of mutual love Proser enjoyed not long.

In 1824, Jane became infected with meningitis, lost his mind and died. Killed Mount Edgar began to torment nightmares. Most young people scared when it seemed to him in the pitch night darkness that someone's hand was going on his face. A well-working imagination repeatedly drawn the terrible face of an unknown resistivity of the creature from the predestous twilight.

According to biographers, it was at that time that the first symptoms of the mental disorder of the writer began to appear, which were subsequently transformed into a frequently arising apathetic state, the persecution and thought of suicide. In the spring of the 1825th, graduate of the writer received $ 7

50 thousand from his redeemed uncle and turned into one of the richest people of Richmond. I decided to take advantage of the case and persuaded Allan to pay training at the University of Virgin. True, he decided to save John for old age to save money. Instead of the required payment of $ 350, he gave the young man only $ 110.

Upon arrival in an educational institution, founded by Thomas Jefferson, Edgar was in a foreign bourgeois medium. In the society of wealthy young men and girls, in vain, tried to fit them, but the reels that the guardian sent was enough only to pay for housing. Edgar decided to earn money by playing cards, aggravating the and without adhesive state of affairs. In December 1826, John Allan received numerous accounts from Edgar

creditors. In a terrible anger, the trader came to Charlotusville and told the adopted son that his university epic did not have time to begin to begin.

Despite the obvious success of the training and prosperous exams, the young man could no longer stay at the university and after the end of the school year, December 21, 1826 left him. A beginner poet sharply experienced his shame. We stepmate to pour oil into the fire and every day accused the former student in irresponsibility, and after the next quarrel was kicked out of the house.

It is worth noting that in the work of Allan, the main place was always occupied by the nearest genre. Novels can be divided into several thematic groups: psychological ("Black Cat", "Laiaiya", "Amontilled Barrel", "Oval Portrait"), Logic ("Golden Beetle", "Murder on Morg Street", "Mystery Marie Roger "," Abducted letter "), humorous (" glasses "," without breathing "," Thousand second tale of Sherryzada ") and science fiction (" Unusual adventure of some Hans Pfaal "," Sphinx "," History with an air balloon ") .

An elderly woman considered otherwise: she from the very beginning of a progress in Edgar Geniya and knew that her best party for her daughter would not be found.

Virginia became a guide star of the life of the software that inspired him to create outstanding creations. The young lady loved her Eddie so much, which was put up with a poverty, which stubbornly did not let their family, and with a severe nature of the writer.
