Un relato de Poe: Los crímenes de la rue Morgue

by Edgar Allan Poe, Julio Gómez de la Serna (Translator)

Overview

Un abominable crimen en una habitación cerrada pondrá en marcha el aparato policial. Pero será el detective Auguste Dupin, quien, con su fría lógica, logre desentrañar la complicada maraña del crimen. Con este relato Poe inaugura el tema del «recinto cerrado» y la aplicación del método analítico para la resolución de casos policiales que tanta repercusión tendrán en la novela policíaca posterior. Este y otros relatos del autor están recogidos en el libro "Cuentos policíacos" de la colección Tus Libros Selección. [Edición anotada]

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.
