Eleonora è una giovane ragazza di 15 anni che si innamora del cugino ventenne e vive con lui delle bellissime giornate cariche di passione e dolcezza finché un triste avvenimento non li separerà.
Un brevissimo racconto scritto con una bella prosa che riesce in poche pagine a trasmettere l'amore e la passione che lega i due innamorati.
E' il primo libro di Poe che leggo ma credo sia differente dai suoi libri più famosi visto che non c'è nessuna cosa di cui aver paura, mi incuriosiscono di più i suoi racconti de terrore che prima o poi approfondirò.
"Coloro che sognano a occhi aperti avvertono molte cose che sfuggono a chi sogna soltanto di notte."
