Auguste Dupin. Introducing to literature the concept of applying reason to solving crime, these tales brought Poe fame and fortune. Years later, Dorothy Sayers would describe \"The Murders in the Rue Morgue\" as \"almost a complete manual of detective theory and practice.\" Indeed, Poe's short mysteries inspired the creation of countless literary sleuths, among them Sherlock Holmes. Today, the unique Dupin stories still stand out as utterly engrossing page-turners. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eIncludes a Modern Library Reading Group Guide\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatthew Pearl\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Dante Club, The Poe Shadow, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Last Dickens, The Technologists, The Last Bookaneer, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Dante Chamber, \u003c\/i\u003e and the editor of the Modern Library editions of Dante's \u003ci\u003eInferno\u003c\/i\u003e (translated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow) and Edgar Allan Poe's \u003ci\u003eThe Murders in the Rue Morgue: The Dupin Tales\u003c\/i\u003e.
