In one version of acharacteristic tale, Hermes, while still an infant, stole the cattle of his half-brother Apollo. To avoid leaving a trail that could be followed, Hermes made shoes from thebark...

Poe’s other masterpieces of horror include “The Pit and the Pendulum” (1842), a spine-tingling tale of cruelty and torture, and “The Cask of Amontillado” (1846), aneerie tale of revenge.

The events in Martin Chuzzlewit become a vehicle for the novel’s theme: selfishne...
