In this witty and satirical tale, Edgar Allan Poe presents an aristocrat so obsessed with decadence that his demise is brought on by an exquisite delicacy. The Duc de L'Omelette, a pompous and foppish French nobleman, meets an untimely death when he chokes on a rare bird. But even death cannot dampen his extravagant flair.
Transported to a hellish afterlife, the Duc is greeted by the devil himself, who is ready to claim his soul. However, in true aristocratic fashion, the Duc challenges Satan to a game of cards—a battle of wit and charm where more than just pride is on the line.
A sharp critique of vanity, indulgence, and excess, The Duc de L'Omelette showcases Poe’s brilliant satirical voice, offering readers a blend of humor and dark, supernatural undertones. This short story, originally published in 1832, provides a glimpse into Poe's versatility as a writer and his early experimentation with genre.
Narrated by Marcus Aurelius Green, this audiobook brings Poe's text to life with a voice that captures both the absurdity and elegance of the Duc's character, making this a must-listen for lovers of classic literature and Poe enthusiasts alike.
