The Cask of Amontillado Free PDF Download

After enduring many injuries of the noble Fortunato, Montressor executes the perfect revenge. The Cask of Amontillado (sometimes spelled The Casque ..) is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe and first published in the November 1846 issue of Godeys Ladys Book. It is set in a nameless Italian city in an unspecified year (possibly during the eighteenth century) and concerns the revenge taken by the narrator on a friend who he claims has insulted him. Like several of Poes stories, and in keeping with the 19th-century fascination with the subject, the narrative revolves around the possibility of a person being buried alive or enclosed in a small space with not possibility of escape (aka immurement).
