Il mistero di Marie Rogêt

by Edgar Allan Poe

Overview

Parigi, una grisette di nome Marie Rogêt scompare per due volte. Quando il suo cadavere viene rinvenuto lungo l’argine della Senna, la soluzione dell’enigma sembra facile. Tutto si svolge fra dubbie prove raccolte, la scarsa attendibilità delle testimonianze, teorie più o meno affidabili, l’ansia di una città intera e… una traccia sottovalutata. Ben presto la polizia capisce che la verità potrà venire a galla solo grazie all’aiuto di Auguste Dupin.

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.
