About The Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe

The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham's Magazine in 1841. It has been recognized as the first modern detective story; Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination". Two works that share some similarities predate Poe's stories, including Das Fräulein von Scuderi (1819) by E. T. A. Hoffmann[3] and Zadig (1747) by Voltaire. C. Auguste Dupin is a man in Paris who solves the mystery of the brutal murder of two women. Numerous witnesses heard a suspect, though no one agrees on what language was spoken. At the murder scene, Dupin finds a hair that does not appear to be human.

Biographie de l'auteur

Edgar Allan Poe (1809 - 1849) was born in Boston, Massachusetts. His parents were both actors, and he was their middle child. After the death of his mother, he was raised by the Allan family, hence his secondary surname. He attended grammar school in England and Scotland, and did not succeed in finishing college. From 1827 to 1829 he served in the U.S. Army, and he was kicked out of the Military Academy at West Point after being court-martialed. His first book, a collection of poems was published in 1827, and he soon after became one of the few American authors to attempt to live by writing alone. In 1835 he married his thirteen-year-old cousin, Virginia Clemm, and he was devastated by her death twelve years later; he took to heavy drinking, and his behavior became increasingly erratic. On October 3rd, 1849, Poe was discovered "in great distress" outside a tavern in Baltimore, Maryland, and died four days later of what was then called "cerebral inflammation." The precise cause of his death remains disputed.
