Description:Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Eureka (1848) is a long non-fiction work by the American author Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) who was subtitled "A Poem in Prose", although it has also been subtitled "An Essay on the Material and Spiritual Universe". Adapted from a lecture he had presented, Eureka describes Poe's intuitive conception of the nature of the universe with no history of scientific work done to reach his conclusions. It also talks about man's relationship with God, whom he compares with an author. It is dedicated to the German naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859). Although generally considered a literary work, some of Poe's ideas anticipate the scientific discoveries and theories of the 20th century. In fact, a critical analysis of the scientific content of Eureka reveals a non-causal correspondence with modern cosmology.Due to the assumption of an evolving Universe, but excludes the anachronistic anticipation of relativistic concepts such as black holes. Eureka was poorly received in Poe's day and generally described as absurd, even by friends. Modern critics continue to debate the importance of Eureka, and some doubt its seriousness, in part due to Poe's many incorrect assumptions and his comic descriptions of well-known historical minds.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
