Drei Geschichten um Detektiv C. Auguste Dupin vom Altmeister der Kriminal- und Schauerliteratur Edgar Allan Poe.

Der Doppelmord in der Rue Morgue: Dupin untersucht die mysteriösen Morde an zwei Pariser Frauen.

Der entwendete Brief: Dupin wird vom Pariser Polizeipräfekten um Hilfe bei der Suche nach einem Brief gebeten, der einer adligen Dame in erpresserischer Absicht gestohlen wurde.

Das Geheimnis der Marie Rogêt: Dupin befasst sich mit dem spurlosen Verschwinden von Marie Rogêt, Angestellte in einem Parfumgeschäft in Paris.

Drei Detektivgeschichten

Poe found the germ of the story he would develop into ARTHUR GORDON PYM in 1836 in a newspaper account of the shipwreck and subsequent rescue of the two men on board. Published in 1838, this rousing sea adventure follows New England boy, Pym, who stows away on a whaling ship with its captain's son, Augustus. The two boys repeatedly find themselves on the brink of death or discovery and witness many terrifying events, including mutiny, cannibalism, and frantic pursuits. Poe imbued this deliberately popular tale with such allegorical richness, biblical imagery, and psychological insights that the tale has come to influence writers as various as Melville, James, Verne and Nabokov.

Habitations imaginaires

Quatre nouvelles extraites des Histoires extraordinaires d'Edgar Allan Poe : une lettre volée qui met en péril un membre de la famille royale, un homme prisonnier d'un vaisseau fantôme où errent des âmes en peine, un veuf qui voit sa femme morte réincarnée dans sa fille, un gentleman victime de névralgie qui succombe à des événements d'autres temps... Denis Lavant et Roland Giraud distillent, chacun à leur tour, humour noir, mystère et effroi donnant à entendre toute la palette du génial poète, du polar précieux au conte fantastique. Accompagnant la narration, l'étonnante composition de Vincent Bouchot donne corps à des sensations éphémères, dessinent des images à peine évoquées, entraînant l'auditeur vers l'abîme.

Histoires extraordinaires

Born in poverty at Boston, January 19, 1809, dying under painful circumstances at Baltimore, October 7, 1849, his whole literary career of scarcely fifteen years a pitiful struggle for mere subsistence, his memory malignantly misrepresented by his earliest biographer, Griswold, how completely has truth at last routed falsehood and how magnificently has Poe come into his own. For "The Raven, " first published in 1845, and, within a few months, read, recited and parodied wherever the English language was spoken, the half-starved poet received $10! Less than a year later his brother poet, N. P. Willis, issued this touching appeal to the admirers of genius on behalf of the neglected author, his dying wife and her devoted mother, then living under very straitened circumstances in a little cottage at Fordham, N. Y.:

"Here is one of the finest scholars, one of the most original men of genius, and one of the most industrious of the literary profession of our country, whose temporary suspension of labor, from bodily illness, drops him immediately to a level with the common objects of public charity. There is no intermediate stopping-place, no respectful shelter, where, with the delicacy due to genius and culture, he might secure aid, till, with returning health, he would resume his labors, and his unmortified sense of independence."

Edgar Allan Poe Definitive Collection

Manuscrit trouvé dans une bouteille

Baudelaire et Mallarmé ont fait de Poe (1809-1849) un grand auteur français. Un maître du fantastique, un ancêtre de la science-fiction, un poète digne de Valéry. Mais au prix d'un énorme sacrifice, qui consistait à ignorer un tiers des contes, la moitié des poèmes et presque toute l'oeuvre critique.
 Cette édition offre, pour la première fois en France, la totalité des contes et des poèmes, accompagnés d'un choix d'essais critiques. Les traductions de Claude Richard et de Jean-Marie Maguin, jointes à celles de Baudelaire et de Mallarmé, font apparaître un auteur infiniment plus complexe et plus moderne. Poe est d'abord un grand humoriste qui se joue de toutes les modes littéraires, un parodiste qui arrache tous les masques. Un poète, enfin, qui ne cesse de dénoncer l'illusoire pouvoir des mots. Le seul, pourtant, qui nous soit concédé et qui nous aide à vivre. Il fallait enfin rendre Poe à Poe, rétablir les dimensions d'une oeuvre qui, avant d'être française, reste profondément américaine.  Dans les lettres comme dans la politique, disait-il, nous avons besoin d'une Déclaration d'indépendance, et surtout - ce qui serait mieux - d'une déclaration de guerre.  On ne saurait affirmer plus violemment son originalité.
 Robert Kopp.
