Gold-Bug, The

The Gold-Bug
Bok av Edgar Allan Poe
'Dat gold bug was a vicious bug. Massa caught it first but it bit him. I think da bite has made Massa poorly. It has affected him in da head.' William Legrand has found a new type of bug, a golden bug, unusually heavy. His servant, Jupiter, is worried. Why is Legrand behaving so oddly? Has the bug's bite made him mad? When Legrand shows his friend a drawing of the gold bug, it looks more like a skull. What can this mean? The arrival of the gold bug leads the three men on an exciting adventure towards skeletons, a skull and a hunt for buried treasure. Should we believe Jupiter's superstitious fears, or is there a more logical explanation of events? If there is, can you, the reader, discover it?

Mästerverk med mysterier schiffer skattjakt galenskaper insekter samt en skalle i ett träd. Spännande till bristningsgränsen och väldigt underhållande och man vet inte hur det ska sluta. Boken som har allt och är otroligt välskriven. Personligen tycker jag det är hans bästa bok.
Språket är annerledes. Det är old fashion men jag gillar det. Det ger årtalet det handlar om lite extra krydda. Det känns mer autentiskt då. Sen har vi visa ord "n ordet" tex men ja på den tiden sades det så. Intressant bok ända tills i mitten då det kom mycke snack om ett chiffer o det vart mycke siffror osv. Blev rätt långdraget då tyvärr. Helt ok men gilla inte slutet. Velat veta mer ju.
