Gli Assassinii Della Rue Morgue

by Edgar Allan Poe

Overview

Le facoltà mentali che si sogliono chiamare analitiche sono, di per se stesse, poco suscettibili di analisi. Le conosciamo soltanto negli effetti. Fra l'altro, sappiamo che, per chi le possiede al piú alto grado, sono sorgente del piú vivo godimento. Come l'uomo forte gode della sua potenza fisica e si compiace degli esercizi che mettono in azione i suoi muscoli, cosí l'analista si gloria di quella attività spirituale che serve a risolvere. E trova piacere anche nelle occupazioni piú comuni purché diano gioco al suo talento. Cosí gli piacciono gli enigmi, i rebus, i geroglifici; e nelle soluzioni dimostra un acume che al discernimento volgare appare soprannaturale.

About the Author

Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) was orphaned at the age of three and adopted by a wealthy Virginia family with whom he had a troubled relationship. He excelled in his studies of language and literature at school, and self-published his first book, Tamerlane and Other Poems, in 1827. In 1830, Poe embarked on a career as a writer and began contributing reviews and essays to popular periodicals. He also wrote sketches and short fiction, and in 1833 published his only completed novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. Over the next five years he established himself as a master of the short story form through the publication of "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Masque of the Red Death," "The Tell-Tale Heart," and other well–known works. In 1841, he wrote "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," generally considered the first modern detective story. The publication of The Raven and Other Poems in 1845 brought him additional fame as a poet.
