Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To speak of the detective story is to speak of Edgar Allan Poe, who invented the genre." - Jorge Luis Borges Before Sherlock Holmes there was C. Auguste Dupin, the brilliant Parisian detective whose unique powers of observation and deduction allowed him to solve the most mysterious of crimes. "The Detective Stories of Edgar Allan Poe" brings together all three stories featuring Dupin: "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," "The Mystery of Marie Roget," and "The Purloined Letter." In these pages lie the very origins of the detective story, a genre Poe not only invented but mastered. As Arthur Conan Doyle acknowledged, Poe "was father of the detective tale, and covered its limits so completely I fail to see how his followers can find ground to call their own."

This book was released on 2017-12-23 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1841 and 1844, Edgar Allan Poe invented the genre of detective fiction with three mesmerizing stories of a young French eccentric named C. Auguste Dupin. Introducing to literature the concept of applying reason to solving crime, these tales brought Poe fame and fortune. "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham's Magazine in 1841. It has been claimed as the first detective story; Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination". As the first true detective in fiction, the Dupin character established many literary devices which would be used in future 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 Rog�t", and "The Purloined Letter"."The Mystery of Marie Rog�t", often subtitled A Sequel to "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" was written in 1842. This is the first murder mystery based on the details of a real crime. It first appeared in Snowden's Ladies' Companion in three installments, November and December 1842 and February 1843. "The Purloined Letter" is the third of his three detective stories featuring the fictional C. Auguste Dupin. These stories are considered to be important early forerunners of the modern detective story. It first appeared in the literary annual The Gift for 1845 (1844) and was soon reprinted in numerous journalsand newspapers.

Book Synopsis Auguste Dupin Stories by : Edgar Allan Poe
Download or read book Auguste Dupin Stories written by Edgar Allan Poe and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-12-28 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Auguste Dupin is the character created by Edgar Allan Poe and made his first appearance in Poe's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" (1841), widely considered the first detective fiction story. He reappears in "The Mystery of Marie Roget" (1842) and "The Purloined Letter" (1844), all included in this book. Dupin is not a professional detective and his motivations for solving the mysteries change throughout the three stories. Using what Poe termed "ratiocination," Dupin combines his considerable intellect with creative imagination, even putting himself in the mind of the criminal. His talents are strong enough that he appears able to read the mind of his companion, the unnamed narrator of all three stories. Poe created the Dupin character before the word detective had been coined. The character laid the groundwork for fictitious detectives to come, including Sherlock Holmes, and established most of the common elements of the detective fiction genre."
