Os casos de Auguste Dupin - Coleção Mistério & Suspense

by Edgar Allan Poe

Overview

Quem gosta de histórias de detetive deve tudo a Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) e a C. Auguste Dupin, criador e criatura. O excêntrico Dupin é capaz de desvendar os mais enredados crimes por meio do método que Poe descreveu como "raciocinação" — mistura de raciocínio e imaginação aguçada que, como uma potente máquina cerebral especializada na solução de grandes mistérios, serviu de inspiração para Arthur Conan Doyle e Agatha Christie desenvolverem outros investigadores memoráveis como Sherlock Holmes e Hercule Poirot. Os casos de Auguste Dupin reúne todos os contos de Poe protagonizados pelo personagem — escritos entre 1841 e 1844, antes mesmo de a palavra "detetive" ser cunhada. "Os assassinatos da rua Morgue", "O mistério de Marie Rogêt" e "A carta roubada" são três clássicos absolutos que seguem tão arrebatadores hoje quanto em sua época.

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.
