    About this audiobook

    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.

    "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" has been claimed as the first detective story.

    In Paris geschieht ein grauenhafter Mord an zwei Frauen. Die Polizei ist ratlos, denn es gibt keine Spuren, dafür aber jede Menge widersprüchliche Zeugenaussagen. Allein dem französischen Aristokraten Auguste Dupin gelingt es durch scharfsinnige Analyse, das skurrile, aber rational nachvollziehbare Rätsel zu lösen.

    Die Kurzgeschichte "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" von 1841 ist der Prototyp der Detektivgeschichte. Ein Muss - nicht nur für Ermittler!

    Die GoyaLiT-Reihe "The Sound of the Language" präsentiert die beliebtesten Themen der englischsprachigen Literatur im Original. Englische Schauspieler interpretieren die ungekürzten Texte. Die Sammlung literarischer Perlen ermöglicht lebendiges Fremdsprachenlernen durch Hören. Eine Vokabelliste im Booklet erleichtert das Verständnis.

    Edgar Allan Poe

    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–49) reigned unrivaled in his mastery of mystery during his lifetime and is now widely held to be a central figure of Romanticism and gothic horror in American literature. Born in Boston, he was orphaned at age three, was expelled from West Point for gambling, and later became a well-regarded literary critic and editor. The Raven, published in 1845, made Poe famous. He died in 1849 under what remain mysterious circumstances and is buried in Baltimore, Maryland.
