POE.docx1001 CLASSIC SHORT STORIES & TALES THE MAN OF THE CROWD by Edgar Allan Poe There are some people we can understand at a glance. And then there are those who remain an absolute mystery. In THE MAN OF THE CROWD, Edgar Allan Poe takes us onto the crowded streets of London, where an unnamed narrator sits watching the endless procession of humanity outside a coffeehouse. Then one peculiar old man catches his attention. There is something about the stranger he cannot explain, something that compels him to leave his seat and follow the man through the city streets, deeper into the night and deeper into mystery. [interestin...rature.com], [litcharts.com] First published in 1840, THE MAN OF THE CROWD is vintage Poe, but not quite the Poe of haunted houses and premature burials. This is psychological suspense, exploring curiosity, obsession, anonymity, secrets, and the unsettling realization that another human being may ultimately be unknowable. [litcharts.com], [supersummary.com] Who is this strange man? Why does he seem unable to leave the crowds? And why does our narrator become so determined to understand him?
