Убийство на улице Морг

Detective Edgar Allan Poe's father was able to find the marvelous in the everyday. Long before Conan Doyle, the American master invented an entire genre - the investigation of a crime, complete with evidence, suspects, logical chains, and inexplicable situations. He could fill his worlds with magic, or he could tame the supernatural. The stories in this collection are filled with curiosities: invoking an angel, conversing with a mummy, a mysterious letter, a mysterious disappearance, a causative murder, tragic journeys.
