Murders in the Rue Morgue (selected translation masterworks)

"e;USA witnessed two great writers, Edgar Allan Poe and Mark Twain."e; Bernard Shaw has made this judgment. Thus we can see the pivotal position of Allan Poe and American literature on the world stage of literature. He set a good example of mystery novels though the representative works including The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Roget, The Purloined Letter and The Gold-Bug. By describing "e;beauty of death"e;, "e;death of beauty"e;, extreme physical and mental sickness, decay and death, together with his deliberate pursuit of horrific effects, he had its unique status in the literary world, and paved the way for future horror fictions. The Murders in the Rue Morgue is selected as a most representative work among Allan Poe's novels of various themes, which is his only full-length (unfinished) one, offering a relatively precise and appropriate anthology for readers who are unable to read all his works.
