Synopsis "The mistery of Marie Roget/Le mystère de Marie Roget: (Bilingual edition/Édition bilingue)"

Poe's detective character C. Auguste Dupin and his sidekick the unnamed narrator undertake the unsolved murder of Marie Rogêt in Paris. The body of Rogêt, a perfume shop employee, is found in the Seine River and the press takes a keen interest in the mystery. Dupin remarks that the newspapers "create a sensation ... [rather] than to further the cause of truth". Even so, he uses the newspaper reports to get into the mind of the murderer. Dupin uses his skills of ratiocination to determine that a single murderer was involved who dragged her by the cloth belt around her waist before dumping her body off a boat into the river. Finding the boat, Dupin suggests, will lead the police to the murderer. Le Mystère de Marie Roget est une nouvelle de l'écrivain américain Edgar Allan Poe, parue en trois parties en novembre 1842, décembre 1842 et février 1843 dans le Ladies' Companion et traduite en français par Charles Baudelaire pour le recueil Histoires grotesques et sérieuses. Le nom complet de la nouvelle est Le Mystère de Marie Roget, pour faire suite à Double assassinat dans la rue Morgue: le lien entre les deux nouvelles tient au personnage d'Auguste Dupin qui mène l'enquête sur une affaire qui dépasse les capacités de la police. L'enquête du Mystère de Marie Roget se base sur l'affaire réelle du meurtre de Mary Cecilia Rogers survenu à New York en 1841. Dans la nouvelle, l'action est transposée à Paris au lieu de New York, et la Seine remplace l'Hudson River où le corps de Mary Rogers a été retrouvé. Edgar Allan Poe joue entre fiction et réalité à plusieurs niveaux: son personnage fictif Auguste Dupin essaie d'entrevoir la vérité sur l'affaire en se basant uniquement sur des coupures de presse réelles, mais les noms réels des journaux sont maquillés. Comme pour Double assassinat dans la rue Morgue, le récit est narré par un ami de Dupin dont l'identité reste inconnue.

Edgar Allan Poe (Boston, United States, 1809-1849) was a celebrated American writer, considered a master of the short story and a renovator of Gothic narrative. His work, marked by mystery and terror, includes iconic titles such as The Raven (1845), which immortalized him, and innovative poems and stories that influenced genres like detective fiction and science fiction. In addition to his literary output, Poe stood out as a critic and theorist, especially with his essay The Philosophy of Composition (1846). His legacy remains alive and has inspired literature, cinema, music, and art to this day.
