Los Crimenes de la calle Morgue: Spanish Edition

by Edgar Allan Poe

Overview

Es un cuento del género policiaco y de terror del escritor Edgar Allan Poe, publicado por primera vez en 1841. 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 intentaron aportar pistas de interés para esclarecer este macabro episodio que, como era de esperarse, no tardó en convertirse en noticia.

Sin embargo, el panorama desalentador cambia de rumbo una vez que Monsieur C. Auguste Dupin, un detective aficionado, comienza a buscar indicios y a relacionar datos con el fin de develar este misterio

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.
