Dans cette nouvelle, le détective Auguste Dupin est informé par G..., le préfet de police de Paris, qu'une lettre de la plus haute importance a été volée dans le boudoir royal. Le moment précis du vol et le voleur sont connus du policier, mais celui-ci est dans l'incapacité d'accabler le coupable. Malgré des fouilles extrêmement minutieuses effectuées au domicile du voleur, G... n'a en effet pas pu retrouver la lettre.
By late accounts from Rotterdam, that city seems to be in a high state of philosophical excitement. Indeed, phenomena have there occurred of a nature so completely unexpected-so entirely novel-so utterly at variance with preconceived opinions-as to leave no doubt on my mind that long ere this all Europe is in an uproar, all physics in a ferment, all reason and astronomy together by the ears. D'après les nouvelles les plus récentes de Rotterdam, il paraît que cette ville est dans un singulier état d'effervescence philosophique. En réalité, il s'y est produit des phénomènes d'un genre si complètement inattendu, si entièrement nouveau, si absolument en contradiction avec toutes les opinions reçues, que je ne doute pas qu'avant peu toute l'Europe ne soit sens dessus dessous, toute la physique en fermentation, et que la raison et l'astronomie ne se prennent aux cheveux. Il paraît que le... du mois de... (je ne me rappelle pas positivement la date), une foule immense était rassemblée, dans un but qui n'est pas spécifié, sur la grande place de la Bourse de la confortable ville de Rotterdam. La journée était singulièrement chaude pour la saison, - il y avait à peine un souffle d'air, et la foule n'était pas trop fâchée de se trouver de temps à autre aspergée d'une ondée amicale de quelques minutes, qui s'épanchait des vastes masses de nuages blancs abondamment éparpillés à travers la voûte bleue du firmament.
Un joven desarraigado pero de esmerada educación se embarca en un buque de carga en la Isla de Java. El viaje es accidentado y en el transcurso de una tormenta toda la tripulación, salvo el joven y un viejo marino, es arrojada al mar. Más tarde el navío será embestido por otro extraño barco de mucho mayor tonelaje. El joven logra salvarse encaramándose a la cubierta del mismo y se encuentra con una tripulación tan extraña como el propio barco. Éste avanza a toda vela, sin rumbo conocido, hasta que se precipita el fantástico desenlace.
Auguste Dupin is the character created by Edgar Allan Poe and made his first appearance in Poe's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" (1841), widely considered the first detective fiction story. He reappears in "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt" (1842) and "The Purloined Letter" (1844), all included in this book. Dupin is not a professional detective and his motivations for solving the mysteries change throughout the three stories. Using what Poe termed "ratiocination", Dupin combines his considerable intellect with creative imagination, even putting himself in the mind of the criminal. His talents are strong enough that he appears able to read the mind of his companion, the unnamed narrator of all three stories. Poe created the Dupin character before the word detective had been coined. The character laid the groundwork for fictitious detectives to come, including Sherlock Holmes, and established most of the common elements of the detective fiction genre.

The story opens with the delivery to a crowd gathered in Rotterdam of a manuscript detailing the journey of a man named Hans Pfaall. The manuscript, which comprises the majority of the story, sets out in detail how Pfaall contrived to reach the moon by benefit of a revolutionary new balloon and a device which compresses the vacuum of space into breathable air. The journey takes him nineteen days, and the narrative includes descriptions of the Earth from space as well as the descent to its fiery, volcanic satellite. Pfaall withholds most of the information regarding the surface of the moon and its inhabitants in order to negotiate a pardon from the Burgomaster for several murders he committed as he left earth. After reading the manuscript, the city authorities agree that Pfaall should be pardoned, but the messenger who brought them the text (apparently a resident of the moon) has vanished and they are unable to restore communication with him.

THE chateau into which my valet had ventured to make forcible entrance, rather than permit me, in my desperately wounded condition, to pass a night in the open air, was one of those piles of commingled gloom and grandeur which have so long frowned among the Appennines, not less in fact than in the fancy of Mrs. Radcliffe. To all appearance it had been temporarily and very lately abandoned. We established ourselves in one of the smallest and least sumptuously furnished apartments.

Quand on n'a pas de fortune, il ne sert à rien d'être un charmant garçon. Le roman est un privilège des riches et non une profession pour ceux qui n'ont pas d'emploi. Il vaut mieux avoir un revenu fixe que d'être un charmeur. Tels sont les grands axiomes de la vie moderne, et Hughie Erskine ne se les est jamais assimilés. Pauvre Hughie ! Au point de vue intellectuel, nous devons reconnaître qu'il n'était point un phénomène. Jamais il ne lui était arrivé en sa vie de lancer un trait brillant, ni même une rosserie. Cela n'empêche qu'il était étonnamment séduisant, avec sa chevelure frisée, son profil nettement dessiné et ses yeux gris. Il était aussi en faveur auprès des hommes qu'auprès des femmes. Il possédait toutes les sortes de talents, excepté celui de gagner de l'argent.
True! nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses, not destroyed, not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How then am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily, how calmly I can tell you the whole story.
¡Es verdad! Soy nervioso, terriblemente nervioso. Siempre lo he sido y lo soy. Pero, ¿podrÃa decirse que estoy loco? La enfermedad habÃa agudizado mis sentidos, no los habÃa destruido ni apagado. Sobre todo, tenÃa el sentido del oÃdo agudo. OÃa todo sobre el cielo y la tierra. OÃa muchas cosas del infierno. Entonces, ¿cómo voy a estar loco? Escuchen y observen con qué tranquilidad, con qué cordura puedo contarles toda la historia.
Está inspirado por el fenómeno del Maelström, un remolino que se produce en las costas de Noruega, formado por la conjunción de las fuertes corrientes que atraviesan el estrecho de Moskenstraumen y la gran amplitud de las mareas. El relato en sà se trata de una historia dentro de otra historia, contada desde lo alto de un abismo. Está narrada por un anciano que afirma no serlo, pese a su apariencia: "No hizo falta más que un dÃa para transformar mis cabellos negros en canas, debilitar mis miembros y destrozar mis nervios." El narrador cuenta que un dÃa se hizo a la mar con dos de sus hermanos, cuando se desató un terrible huracán, que atrapó el barco en su vórtice. Los dos hermanos murieron, mientras que el narrador caÃa al centro del remolino y se quedaba maravillado ante lo que veÃa. Se arrojó al agua, sujetándose a un barril. Al cabo de un tiempo impreciso, fue izado a la borda de un barco de conocidos suyos que no le reconocieron.

The story follows a man of "a noble descent" who calls himself William Wilson because, although denouncing his profligate past, he does not accept blame[dubious - discuss]for his actions, saying that "man was never thus [...] tempted before". After several paragraphs, the narration then segues into a description of Wilson's boyhood, which was spent in a school "in a misty-looking village of England". William meets another boy in his school who shared the same name, who had roughly the same appearance, and who was even born on exactly the same date (January 19, Poe's own birthday). William's name (he asserts that his actual name is only similar to "William Wilson") embarrasses him because it sounds "plebeian" or common, and he is irked that he must hear the name twice as much on account of the other William. The boy also dresses like William, walks like him, and even looks like him, but he could only speak in a whisper, he imitates that whisper exactly. He begins to give orders to William of an unspecified nature, which he refuses to obey, resenting the boy's "arrogance". One night he stole into the other William's bedroom and saw that the boy's face had suddenly become different. Upon seeing this, William left the academy immediately in horror, and in the same week, the other boy followed him. William eventually attends Eton and Oxford, gradually becoming more debauched and performing what he terms "mischief". For example, he stole from a man by cheating at cards. The other William appeared, his face covered, whispered a few words sufficient to alert others to William's behavior, and leaves with no others seeing his face. In his latest caper, he tries to seduce a married woman but the other William stops him at a ball in Rome; the enraged William drags his "unresisting" double-who was wearing identical clothes-into an antechamber, and stabs him fatally. After William does this, a large mirror suddenly seems to appear. Reflected at him, he sees "mine own image, but with features all pale and dabbled in blood": apparently the dead double, "but he spoke no longer in a whisper". The narrator feels as if he is pronouncing the words: "In me didst thou exist-and in my death, see [...] how utterly thou hast murdered thyself."
The story surrounds the baffling double murder of Madame L'Espanaye and her daughter in the Rue Morgue, a fictional street in Paris. Newspaper accounts of the murder reveal that the mother's throat is so badly cut that her head is barely attached and the daughter, after being strangled, has been stuffed into the chimney. The murder occurs in an inaccessible room on the fourth floor locked from the inside. Neighbors who hear the murder give contradictory accounts, each claiming that he heard the murderer speaking a different language. The speech was unclear, the witnesses say and they admit to not knowing the language they are claiming to have heard.

"The Raven" is a narrative poem by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. First published in January 1845, the poem is often noted for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man's slow fall into madness. The lover, often identified as being a student, is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. Sitting on a bust of Pallas, the raven seems to further instigate his distress with its constant repetition of the word "Nevermore". The poem makes use of a number of folk and classical references. Edgar Allan Poe (born Edgar Poe; January 19, 1809 - October 7, 1849) was an American author, poet, editor and literary critic, considered part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is generally considered the inventor of the American detective fiction genre. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.

El Cuervo es un poema narrativo escrito por Edgar Allan Poe, que fue publicado por primera vez en 1845 y constituye su composición poética más famosa. Son notables su musicalidad, su lenguaje estilizado y su atmósfera sobrenatural. El poema habla de la misteriosa visita de un cuervo parlante a la casa de un amante afligido y del lento descenso hacia la locura de este último. El amante, que a menudo se ha identificado como un estudiante, llora la pérdida de su amada, Leonor. El negro cuervo, posado sobre un busto de Palas, parece azuzar su sufrimiento con la constante repetición de las palabras Nunca mas. En el poema, Poe hace alusión al folklore y a varias obras clásicas.

Le Scarabée d'or est une nouvelle policière et d'aventures d'Edgar Allan Poe, parue en juin 1843 dans le journal de Philadelphie Dollar Newspaper. Poe a gagné un concours organisé par le journal et reçu un prix de 100 dollars, ce qui représente le montant le plus élevé que l'écrivain ait touché pour une nouvelle publiée. C'est également le texte le plus largement lu du vivant de l'auteur. La nouvelle popularisa la cryptographie auprès du grand public tout en établissant la réputation de cryptographe hors pair de l'écrivain aux yeux de ses contemporains3. Elle a été reprise dans de nombreux journaux et publications et fut traduite en français par Charles Baudelaire et publiée dans le recueil des Histoires extraordinaires. Edgar Allan Poe résida à Fort Moultrie de 1827 à 1828 sur l'île Sullivan dans le comté de Charleston (Caroline du Sud) où se déroule l'intrigue. Plusieurs rues portent aujourd'hui le nom de ses nouvelles et poèmes (Raven drive, GoldBug drive...) et la bibliothèque a été nommée en son honneur. La trame romanesque sur laquelle se base la nouvelle continue également de motiver les chasseurs sur les traces d'un trésor enfoui dans la région.
