Mellonta Tauta

Set in the year 2848, this short story unfolds through a series of letters written by a woman during a balloon flight. As she communicates with a friend, she humorously contrasts the science, philosophy, and customs of her time with those of a thousand years earlier, often misinterpreting historical concepts to absurd extremes. Combining humor with insightful commentary, this work showcases Poe's unique style and offers a thought-provoking read. The edition also includes a new biography of the author, enhancing its appeal to fans and collectors alike.
