"Histoires grotesques et sérieuses" by Edgar Allan Poe is a collection of short stories written in the mid-19th century. The compilation includes notable tales such as "Le Mystère de Marie Roget," which features the analytical character C. Auguste Dupin. This story delves into the eerie circumstances surrounding the mysterious death of a young woman in Paris and the ensuing investigation, exploring themes of forensic science and societal fascination with crime. The opening of "Le Mystère de Marie Roget" establishes both a philosophical reflection on coincidence and the supernatural elements that surround unsolved crimes. The narrator discusses a previous case solved by Dupin and alludes to a recent murder that has captivated public interest—specifically, the case of Marie Roget, who vanished under suspicious circumstances. This ignites a series of investigations and theories, highlighting Dupin's brilliance as he wades through public speculation and official incompetence to uncover the truth. The narrative sets an ominous tone while introducing various characters connected to Marie, foreshadowing the intricate layers of mystery and deduction that will unfold.
