Publicado pela primeira vez em 1844, The Angel of The Odd, an Extravaganza, é um conto burlesco-parodístico que revela a veia cômica de Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), o mestre norte-americano das histórias de terror e mistério, autor de um dos poemas mais conhecidos do mundo, The Raven (O corvo), e também considerado um dos criadores do gênero investigativo-policial. Após ler num jornal uma notícia que considera insólita e externar dúvidas quanto a sua veracidade, o narrador tem um encontro inesperado com uma figura muito estranha que se autodenomina Anjo do Estranho. A partir desse encontro, o narrador se vê envolvido em diversas situações que parecem casuais, obras do acaso, mas que nos levam a suspeitar serem provocadas pelo misterioso anjo – que em nada lembra os anjos convencionais –, todas com o objetivo de provar que os “estranhos acidentes”, de cuja existência o narrador duvidava, acontecem, sim, não sendo meras invenções de jornalistas. Esta nova tradução, precedida de uma breve apresentação, procura recriar os elementos estilísticos que marcam esse conto de Allan Poe – em especial o modo de falar do Anjo com seu forte sotaque alemão –, bem como resgatar, em notas de rodapé, referências talvez desconhecidas para o leitor brasileiro contemporâneo. Por se tratar de um conto redigido originalmente há quase 180 anos, procurou-se também manter uma certa “pátina de antiguidade”, como diria Paulo Rónai, com o emprego de recursos vocabulares e sintáticos capazes de remeter o leitor atual à paisagem do período narrado.
