Classic Literature. Fiction. Literature. Thriller. Between 1841 and 1844, Edgar Allan Poe invented the detective fiction genre with his mesmerizing stories of a young French eccentric named C. Auguste Dupin. Introducing to literature the concept of applying reason to solving crime, these tales brought Poe fame and fortune. Years later, Dorothy Sayers would describe "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" as "almost a complete manual of detective theory and practice." Indeed, Poe's short mysteries inspired the creation of countless literary sleuths, among them Sherlock Holmes. Today, the Dupin stories still stand out as unique and utterly engrossing. In addition to "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," this collection contains "The Purloined Letter" (also featuring C. Auguste Dupin), "The Thousand-and-Second Tale of Scheherazade," "A Descent into the Maelstrom," "The Raven," and "The Masque of the Red Death.".

A fourth floor room, a door locked with the key inside - no way in, no way out. Edgar Alan Poe is the true grandfather of the murder mystery. Decades before Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot, Poe gave us C. Auguste Dupin, a man able to solve mysteries through observation and deduction. This is fiction noir in the true sense, set in the dark back streets of 1840s Paris. The juxtaposition of Dupin's clear logic, and the insanity of the outside world make this a psychological thriller of the first rank.

A fourth floor room, a door locked with the key inside - no way in, no way out. Edgar Alan Poe is the true grandfather of the murder mystery. Decades before Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot, Poe gave us C. Auguste Dupin, a man able to solve mysteries through observation and deduction.

First published in an 1841 edition of Graham's Magazine, The Murders in the Rue Morgue is often cited as the first modern detective story. The first of three stories to center around C. Auguste Dupin, Poe's fictional detective, The Murders in the Rue Morgue involves Dupin's investigation of two women's murders. Establishing many of the tropes that would later become common to detective fiction, the story begins with an explanation of Dupin's theory of ratiocination, a concept which greatly influenced the creation of detective fiction itself and other great detectives like Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot.

While Edgar Allan Poe was most famous for his eerie tales of murder, ghouls, and suspense, he is also credited with paving the way for the future of detective stories with his character C. Auguste Dupin. Dupin made his first appearance in the murder mystery "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," a tale about the murder of two women. When Dupin questioned witnesses, everyone claimed that the murderer was speaking a different language, yet none of the witnesses could place his accent. Dupin put himself in the mind of the killer and read the faces of witnesses, suspects, and other persons of interest. He also drew inspiration and ideas from outside resources such as newspapers or police reports. As Dupin sought to unravel the mystery, Poe was creating an archetypal character that would be followed by many other great detectives. In the collection "The Murders in the Rue Morgue: The Dupin Tales," Poe allows Dupin's genius to shine in stories like "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," "The Mystery of Marie Roget," and "The Purloined Letter." These tales are not typical Poe stories, but instead all follow the cases that detective Dupin solves after other police and investigators are stumped. Dupin showed that, with a little ingenuity and creativity, even the most difficult case could be solved. Mystery lovers and Poe fans will all enjoy this groundbreaking collection and the intrigue that Poe creates within it.

»Der Doppelmord in der Rue Morgue« (The Murders in the Rue Morgue) war die erste von drei Kriminalgeschichten, die sich um die Figur den scharfsinnig ermittelnden Detektivs C. Auguste Dupin drehte. Diese erstmals im April 1841 in der Zeitschrift Graham's Magazine erschienene Detektivgeschichte war auch eine der ersten Kriminalgeschichten, die sich der Technik des »verschlossenen Raums« bediente. 1842 trat Dupin nochmals als Hauptfigur in der Kriminalerzählung »Das Geheimnis der Marie Rogêt« (The Mystery of Marie Rogêt) und schließlich 1844 in »Der entwendete Brief« (The Purloined Letter) auf. Der vorliegende Band gibt Poes drei berühmte Kriminalge-schichten um den Detektiv C. Auguste Dupin zusammen mit Poes kurzer Kriminalerzählung »Der Mann in der Menge« und seinem berühmten Gedicht »Der Rabe« in der Fassung der im Jahr 1922 von Theodor Etzel herausgegebenen Gesamtausgabe von Poes Erzählungen wieder.

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), ein Meister der Kurzgeschichte, knüpft in seinen Erzählungen mit reicher Fantasie und scharfen Verstand die Handlungsfäden. Es sind teils Detektivgeschichten, die von Poes anatytischen Verstand, seiner kühnen Kombinationsgabe und genauer Beobachtung zeugen, teils sind es Erzählungen, in denen das abenteuerliche oder absonderliche Moment überwiegt.

Nouvelles fantastiques, dont Double assassinat dans la rue Morgue, considéré comme la première histoire policière de la littérature, qui met en scène le détective Auguste Dupin, lequel apparaît également dans La lettre volée et Le mystère de Marie Roget.
