Overview

La historia narrada en este relato gira en torno al brutal asesinato de Madame l"Espanaye y su hija Mademoiselle Camilla, un crimen cometido en un departamento ubicado en la rue Morgue, una frecuentada calle parisina. En un principio, las investigaciones policiales parecen fracasar, aún cuando las personas que prestaron su testimonio (entre las cuales se encontraba una lavandera, un estanquero, un banquero, un gendarme y un médico) intentaron aportar pistas de interés para esclarecer este macabro episodio que, como era de esperarse, no tardó en convertirse en noticia.

Cabe destacar que, antes de pasar a contar la trama de "Los crímenes de la calle Morgue", Poe dedica varios párrafos a aquellas facultades mentales que suelen considerarse como analíticas y, a partir de entonces, comienza a narrar en primera persona, el primer encuentro en París con Dupin, a quien describe como un joven perteneciente a una ilustre familia que, por diversos motivos, se había sumido en la pobreza.

About the Author

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.
