The Murders in the Rue Morgue
Edgar Allan Poe
"The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham's Magazine in 1841. It has been recognized as the first modern detective story; Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination." Two works that share some similarities predate Poe's stories, including Das Fraulein von Scuderi (1819) by E. T. A. Hoffmann and Zadig (1747) by Voltaire.
C. Auguste Dupin is a man in Paris who solves the mystery of the brutal murder of two women. Numerous witnesses heard a suspect, though no one agrees on what language was spoken. At the murder scene, Dupin finds a hair that does not appear to be human.
As the first fictional detective, Poe's Dupin displays many traits which became literary conventions in subsequent fictional detectives, including Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. Many later characters, for example, follow Poe's model of the brilliant detective, his personal friend who serves as narrator, and the final revelation being presented before the reasoning that leads up to it. Dupin himself reappears in "The Mystery of Marie Roget" and "The Purloined Letter."

Descriere
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MATTHEW PEARLEdgar Allan Poe invented detective fiction with these three mesmerising stories of a young eccentric named C.
Notă biografică
Edgar Poe wurde als Sohn des Schauspieler-Ehepaares Elizabeth Poe und David Poe in Boston in Massachusetts, geboren. Bereits zwei Jahre später war er ein Waisenkind und wurde in Richmond in Virginia vom kinderlosen Tabakhändler John Allan und seiner Ehefrau aufgenommen. Mit ihnen lebte er einige Jahre in Schottland, bis es 1820 nach New York ging.
Weil Edgar Allan Poe - so nannte er sich inzwischen - nicht mit seinem Pflegevater zurechtkam, ging er zur Armee und wandte sich dem Journalismus zu. Ab 1835 war er bei verschiedenen Zeitungen tätig. 1836 heiratete er seine dreizehnjährige Kusine Virginia Clemm. Nach deren Tod im Jahr 1847 versuchte er vergeblich, seine psychischen Probleme durch Alkohol und vermutlich auch Opium zu bekämpfen.
Ab 1838 erschienen seine okkulten Erzählungen. Mit seinen "Detektiv-Dupin"-Geschichten schuf Edgar Allan Poe eine neue, erfolgreiche Gattung von Kriminalstorys und war Wegbereiter der Kurzgeschichte. Wichtige Werke unter anderem: "Die Abenteuer Gordon Pyms" 1838, "Der Doppelmord in der Rue Morgue" 1841, "Phantastische Erzählungen" von 1832 bis 1839. Poes Werk beinhaltet Erzählungen, Lyrik, Essays und komplexe wissenschaftliche Abhandlungen.
Sein Ende war tragisch: Am 7. Oktober 1849 starb er verwahrlost und unter ungeklärten Umständen mit vierzig Jahren in Baltimore in Maryland. Seine letzten Worte waren angeblich: "Gott helfe meiner armen Seele.'
