Regarded by many as the world's first detective story, Edgar Allan Poe here creates C. Auguste Dupin, the proto-Sherlock Holmes, investigating the murder of two women and arriving at a startling - and horrifying - conclusion. "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" was first published in 1841 in Graham's Magazine and is the first of three stories to center around Dupin, who here explains his theory of "ratiocination," where a precise, logical and unemotional examination of the facts will lead to the solution of a mystery...no matter how bizarre the conclusion. Poe's Dupin had a profound impact on later writers and his theory of detection is clearly reflected in Arthur Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes" series as well as the works of Agatha Christie. This edition also features an essay by Poe's contemporary and friend N.P. Willis entitled "The Death of Edgar A. Poe."

Die großen Detektive: Le Chevalier C. Auguste Dupin und Sherlock Holmes 15 Kriminalgeschichten von Edgar Allan Poe und Sir Arthur Canon Doyle, gelesen von Richard Heinrich und Alex Bolte. Wenn es um das Genre der Kriminalerzählung geht, kommt man am Namen Sherlock Holmes nicht vorbei. Dabei wurde die Figur des genialen, exzentrischen Detektivs bereits viel früher von niemand Geringerem geprägt als dem Meister des Schaurigen und Mysteriösen: Edgar Allan Poe. Mit seinen Geschichten um C. Auguste Dupin legte Poe den Grundstein für das gesamte Kriminalgeschichtengenre. Kaum ein Autor des 19. Jahrhunderts dürfte die Literatur der Moderne so nachhaltig beeinflusst haben wie Edgar Allan Poe. Er gilt als der Vater der Short Story, sein Detektiv Auguste Dupin – obwohl Protagonist von nur drei Geschichten, war der erste seiner Art und nahm Einfluss auf ganze Heerscharen von Detektiven, denen deduktive Logik die Hauptwaffe im Kampf gegen das Verbrechen ist. Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot oder Nero Wolfe dürften ihm und seinem Schöpfer jederzeit ein Denkmal errichten. Dupin trat erstmals 1841 in der Erzählung "Der Doppelmord in der Rue Morgue" auf und wird dort als Detektiv eingeführt, der kriminalistische Untersuchungen nur zur persönlichen Unterhaltung durchführt, um die Unschuld eines Verdächtigen zu beweisen und ohne finanziell entlohnt zu werden. Mit seinem Intellekt und seiner Einbildungskraft versucht er, sich in das Denken des Mörders zu versetzen, sich mit ihm zu identifizieren. Ähnlich ist die Vorgehensweise von C. Auguste Dupin mit denen Sherlock Holmes, denn beide lösen ihre Fälle immer mit Hilfe ihres messerscharf arbeitenden Verstandes. Unterschiedlich ist jedoch der Weg, wie beide zu ihren jeweiligen Schlussfolgerungen gelangen. C. Auguste Dupin zerlegt den Tathergang zunächst in seine unzähligen Einzelteile. Im Anschluss daran unterzieht er jedes Einzelteil für sich einer genauen Analyse und setzt diese sodann wieder zu einem Ganzen zusammen. Im Gegensatz dazu ist Sherlock Holmes ein genialer Beobachter und auf Grund der bei seinen Beobachtungen gesammelten Erkenntnissen zieht Holmes daraus seine Schlüsse. Mit diesem Hörbuch haben Sie als Hörer die Möglichkeit, beide Meisterdetektive näher kennenzulernen und ihre Ermittlungsmethoden miteinander zu vergleichen. Ich wünsche Ihnen über 16 Stunden spannendste Unterhaltung. 1. Die Mordtat in der Rue Morgue (»The Murders in the Rue Morgue«) 2. Ein Skandal in Böhmen (»A Scandal in Bohemia«) 3.

The story was first published in Strand Magazine in March 1892. Dr. Watson notes that this is one of only two cases which he personally brought to the attention of Sherlock Holmes.The story, set in 1889, mainly consists of a young London consultant hydraulic engineer, Mr. Victor Hatherley, recounting strange happenings of the night before, first to Dr. Watson, who dresses the stump where Mr. Hatherley's thumb has been cut off, and then to Sherlock Holmes himself.Hatherley had been visited in his office by a man who identified himself as Colonel Lysander Stark. He offered Hatherley a commission at a country house, to examine a hydraulic press used, as Stark explains, to compress fuller's earth into bricks. Stark warned Hatherley to keep the job confidential, offering him 50 guineas (£52 10s, an enormous sum at the time, worth over £4000 today). Hatherley felt compelled to take this work, despite his misgivings, as his business was newly established and he had very little work.Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle's: "A Study in Scarlet", "Silver Blaze", "The Hound of the Baskervilles", "The Yellow Face", "A Scandal in Bohemia", "The Red-Headed League", A Case of Identity", "The Boscombe Valley Mystery", "The Five Orange Pips", "The Man with the Twisted Lip", "The Blue Carbuncle", "The Speckled Band", "The Engineer's Thumb", "The Noble Bachelor", "The Beryl Coronet", "The Copper Beeches" and many more.
