Summary/Abstract: This research follows how the tragic destiny of the American poet and novelist Edgar Allan Poe puts his mark on his writings. In the policeman's literature he is the first author to deliberately enforce by the appearance of the three short storiesThe Murders in the rue Morgue (1841), The Mystery of Marie Roget (1842-1843), The Purloined Letter (1845), and not just the famous C.AugusteDupin, which became the amateur detective's archetype. Enigmas are solved with the help of reasoning and practical observations, the proof of a perfect analytical spirit.
