La Puto kaj la Pendolo: Rakonto el la Hispana Inkvizicio by Edgar Allan Poe
"La Puto kaj la Pendolo: Rakonto el la Hispana Inkvizicio" by Edgar Allan Poe is a short story first published in 1842. An unnamed prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition faces a series of psychological and physical torments in complete darkness. He discovers a deadly pit, narrowly escapes a descending razor-sharp pendulum, and confronts closing red-hot walls. Through intense sensory detail, Poe creates mounting terror as the narrator struggles to survive increasingly horrific
methods of execution designed by his captors. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
