From the publisher:
Edgar A. Poe or "the art of weighing the imponderable" according to Baudelaire. These bewitching tales, whose evil spells are distilled to the ultimate horror, how can they be transposed into images and reveal the unspeakable? We must succeed in resolutely drawing the anguish and defining the threat with a sure line! This is how, in Maître Battaglia's work, each panel haunted by gray, each page lit by shadows is a graphic trap that closes in on us, and suddenly, in view of the melancholic House of Usher "an unbearable sadness penetrates our soul..."
Edgar A. Poe ou " l'art de soupeser l'impondérable " selon Baudelaire. Ces contes envoûtants, dont les sortilèges maléfiques sont distillés crescendo jusqu'à l'horreur ultime, comment les transposer en images et en révéler l'indicible ? Il faut parvenir à dessiner résolument l'angoisse et cerner d'un trait sûr la menace ! C'est ainsi que chez Maître Battaglia, chaque case hantée de gris, chaque planche éclairée d'ombres est un piège graphique qui se referme sur nous, et soudain, en vue de la mélancolique Maison Usher " une insupportable tristesse pénètre notre âme...
