Edgar Allan Poe, proslul\u00fd sv\u00fdmi stra\u0161ideln\u00fdmi p\u0159\u00edb\u011bhy pln\u00fdmi tajemstv\u00ed a makabra, byl tak\u00e9 bystr\u00fdm pozorovatelem v\u011bdeck\u00e9ho sv\u011bta. Jeho d\u00edla odhaluj\u00ed hlubokou fascinaci astronomi\u00ed, geologi\u00ed a dal\u0161\u00edmi p\u0159\u00edrodn\u00edmi jevy.<\/p>\n\n
Jedn\u00edm z nejv\u00fdznamn\u011bj\u0161\u00edch v\u011bdeck\u00fdch vliv\u016f na Poea byla teorie o dut\u00e9 Zemi, kter\u00e1 p\u0159edpokl\u00e1dala, \u017ee Zem\u011b je dut\u00e1 koule s obyvateln\u00fdmi kontinenty a oce\u00e1ny uvnit\u0159. Poe tento koncept za\u010dlenil do sv\u00e9ho rom\u00e1nu “P\u0159\u00edb\u011bh Arthura Gordona Pyma z Nantucket” a pov\u00eddek jako “Rukopis nalezen\u00fd v l\u00e1hvi” a “P\u00e1d do Maelstr\u00f6mu”.<\/p>\n\n
Ve sv\u00e9 b\u00e1sni v pr\u00f3ze “Eureka” se Poe pono\u0159il do \u0159\u00ed\u0161\u00ed fyziky, metafyziky a matematiky a zkoumal povahu vesm\u00edru a jeho p\u016fvod. P\u0159em\u00fd\u0161lel o Olbersov\u011b paradoxu, kter\u00fd zpochyb\u0148oval, pro\u010d no\u010dn\u00ed obloha nen\u00ed tak jasn\u00e1, jak by m\u011bla b\u00fdt, pokud je vesm\u00edr nekone\u010dn\u00fd a pln\u00fd hv\u011bzd.<\/p>\n\n
Poeovy spisy tak\u00e9 uk\u00e1zaly jeho filozofickou ostrost. V “Eurece” p\u0159em\u00fd\u0161lel o omezen\u00edch lidsk\u00e9ho ch\u00e1p\u00e1n\u00ed a hled\u00e1n\u00ed smyslu ve velk\u00e9m a z\u00e1hadn\u00e9m vesm\u00edru.<\/p>\n\n
Poeovy v\u011bdeck\u00e9 z\u00e1jmy prostupovaly jeho liter\u00e1rn\u00edmi d\u00edly a obohacovaly je realistick\u00fdmi detaily a alegorick\u00fdmi v\u00fdznamy. V “P\u0159\u00edb\u011bhu Arthura Gordona Pyma” se cesta hlavn\u00edho hrdiny na Antarktidu st\u00e1v\u00e1 metaforou lidsk\u00e9ho hled\u00e1n\u00ed pozn\u00e1n\u00ed a nebezpe\u010d\u00ed vyd\u00e1v\u00e1n\u00ed se do nezn\u00e1ma.<\/p>\n\n
“Rukopis nalezen\u00fd v l\u00e1hvi” popisuje setk\u00e1n\u00ed ztroskotan\u00e9ho n\u00e1mo\u0159n\u00edka s obrovsk\u00fdm v\u00edrem, \u017eivou reprezentac\u00ed sil p\u0159\u00edrody, kter\u00e9 mohou p\u0159emoci lidsk\u00e9 snahy.<\/p>\n\n
Vliv Edgara Allana Poea na sci-fi a zkoum\u00e1n\u00ed v\u011bdeck\u00fdch t\u00e9mat v literatu\u0159e nelze p\u0159ece\u0148ovat. Jeho spisy neust\u00e1le inspiruj\u00ed a fascinuj\u00ed \u010dten\u00e1\u0159e a p\u0159eklenuj\u00ed propast mezi sv\u011bty v\u011bdy a fantazie.<\/p>\n\n
Poeova fascinace astronomi\u00ed je patrn\u00e1 v jeho pou\u017e\u00edv\u00e1n\u00ed nebesk\u00fdch obraz\u016f a odkaz\u016f na v\u011bdeck\u00e9 teorie. V “Havranovi” hled\u00e1 vyprav\u011b\u010d \u00fat\u011bchu ve hv\u011bzd\u00e1ch, zat\u00edmco v “Ulalume” truchl\u00ed nad svou ztracenou l\u00e1skou pod hv\u011bzdnou oblohou.<\/p>\n\n
Poeova b\u00e1se\u0148 “Eldorado” nar\u00e1\u017e\u00ed na legendu o m\u00fdtick\u00e9m zlat\u00e9m m\u011bst\u011b, kter\u00e9 lze interpretovat jako metaforu pro uchopen\u00ed v\u011bdeck\u00e9ho objevu.<\/p>\n\n
Krom\u011b sv\u00fdch liter\u00e1rn\u00edch \u00fasp\u011bch\u016f p\u0159isp\u011bl Poe tak\u00e9 p\u0159\u00edmo k v\u011bdeck\u00e9mu oboru. Vydal u\u010debnici o sb\u00edr\u00e1n\u00ed mu\u0161l\u00ed, co\u017e dokazuje jeho z\u00e1jem o p\u0159\u00edrodn\u00ed historii. Jeho pozorov\u00e1n\u00ed t\u00fdkaj\u00edc\u00ed se konchologie, studia mu\u0161l\u00ed, p\u0159isp\u011bla k v\u011bdeck\u00e9mu porozum\u011bn\u00ed mo\u0159sk\u00e9ho \u017eivota.<\/p>\n\n
Edgar Allan Poe z\u016fst\u00e1v\u00e1 z\u00e1hadnou postavou, mistrem jak makabra, tak v\u011bdy. Jeho spisy nad\u00e1le upout\u00e1vaj\u00ed \u010dten\u00e1\u0159e sv\u00fdmi znepokojiv\u00fdmi obrazy, filozofickou hloubkou a trvalou relevanc\u00ed pro lidskou p\u0159irozenost.
