    凄凉怪才 (名探之旅第三站)

      
          埃德加.爱伦.坡是公认的西方推理悬疑小说鼻祖,翻开美国文学史,恐怕再也找不到一位作家像爱伦.坡那样身世凄凉,穷困潦倒的了。坡出生在波士顿一个流浪艺人的家庭,不到三岁的时候,便失去双亲。人世间最温暖的亲情,就这么被命运残忍的剥夺了。之后,他被教父约翰.爱伦收养,并给他改名为爱伦.坡。养父对坡一开始还算不错,可惜养母突然病故,养父重新结婚,生了三个儿子后,便渐渐冷落了坡。坡17岁时进了大学,他生性倔强、叛逆,虽然成绩优秀,但却结识了一些纨绔子弟多次违反校纪。最终与养父闹翻并且辍学,离开了使他并不感到温暖的家,开始了自己的漂泊生涯。

          坡为了生计,当兵两年,后来进入西点军校进修。但是因为生性散漫,时常在点名时缺勤,又被开除出军校。从此,他开始了自己的文学生涯,一开始他在报刊上发表诗文,做做编辑,赚着最低等级的稿费,仅够糊口。
          坡的初恋也在女方父亲的阻挠下失败,眼睁睁的看着心爱的人家给了一个富商。坡27岁时,娶了14岁的表妹为妻。婚后的12年,他终于有了一个属于自己的家庭,写作上全新投入,硕果累累。他的知名作品大多是这一时期所创作。例如《莉姬娅》、《厄谢府邸的倒塌》、《黑猫》、《莫格街凶杀案》、《红死鬼的假面具》等等,(以后逐一介绍)每次回想起来,这些故事在我的脑海里记忆犹新,它们是那么的诡异,离奇,同时又是那么的具有魅力。不料,好景不长,妻子在25岁的时候染上肺结核去世,又一次遭受人生打击的坡,从此一蹶不振。
          妻子去世的两年后,一生坎坷,疲惫不堪的文坛奇才,被人在街头发现时,已经奄奄一息。送到医院四天后与世长辞。时年,坡只有四十岁。
