The Murders in the Rue Morgue: Edgar Allan Poe, Hörbuch, Digital, 46min

The Murders in the Rue Morgue was first published in Graham's Magazine in 1841. Today, it is considered by many as the first detective story. Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination". C. Auguste Dupin is a Frenchman who decides to solve the mysterious brutal murder of two women in Paris. Numerous witnesses are quoted in the newspaper as having heard a suspect, though the witnesses each think it was a different language. As the first true detective in fiction, the Dupin character established many literary devices which would be used in future fictional detectives including Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot.

Tales for a Winter's Night , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 357min

Tales for a Winter's Night brings together eight Arthur Conan Doyle mystery classics that originally appeared in the Strand magazine between July 1898 and January 1899. When first gathered into one volume in 1908, the book was entitled Round the Fire Stories, since the author recommended that they be read ideally "round the fire" upon a winter's night. According to Barzun & Taylor in A Catalogue of Crime, "As one reads 'The Man with the Watches', 'The Lost Special', 'The Jew's Breastplate', 'The Black Doctor', and the rest, one marvels again at Doyle's natural gift of story-telling and one relishes his ingrained habit of giving clues, even when they serve narrative and are not to be used for ratiocination. The stories are worth reading even around a radiator." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: William Sutherland. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/blak/000989/bk_blak_000989_sample.mp3.

The Murders in the Rue Morgue (Fort Raphael Publishing Company Edition) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 124min

Regarded by many as the world's first detective story, Edgar Allan Poe here creates C. Auguste Dupin, the proto-Sherlock Holmes, investigating the murder of two women and arriving at a startling - and horrifying - conclusion. The Murders in the Rue Morgue was first published in 1841 in Graham's Magazine and is the first of three stories to center around Dupin, who here explains his theory of "ratiocination", where a precise, logical, and unemotional examination of the facts will lead to the solution of a mystery...no matter how bizarre the conclusion. Poe's Dupin had a profound impact on later writers, and his theory of detection is clearly reflected in Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series, as well as the works of Agatha Christie.This edition also features an essay by Poe's contemporary and friend N. P. Willis entitled "The Death of Edgar A. Poe". ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Theis. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/121724/bk_acx0_121724_sample.mp3.

The Deadly Scrolls: Volume 1

Set in modern Jerusalem and among the desert ruins of Qumran, this desperate hunt for an ancient treasure scroll pits a female Israeli intelligence agent against a religious fanatic hell-bent on bringing about the End of Days. An American professor's murder reveals his discovery of a lost Dead Sea Scroll, whose text encodes the secret hiding places of the lost Second Temple Treasures. Israeli intelligence agent Maya Rimon races against time to stop a religious extremist from launching a deadly terrorist attack at the next Blood Moon, triggering the Apocalypse in the holy city of Jerusalem. The story centers around a genuine historical artifact, the so-called Copper Scroll, whose many secrets still remain undeciphered by contemporary scholars and treasure hunters. Despite decades of searching, not a single one of these invaluable treasures has ever been found. Laced with clever spycraft, encrypted electronic files, mysterious ancient puzzles, plastique explosives, car chases, and Sherlockian ratiocination, The Deadly Scrolls explores the timely theme of fanaticism: among Christian millennialists, Jewish messianists, Islamic terrorists, Israeli politicians, Orthodox Jews, conspiracy theorists, devout Zionists-and spies. In other words, it's a Jewish Da Vinci Code!

The Fifth Heart , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1406min

In 1893 Sherlock Holmes and Henry James come to America together to solve the mystery of the 1885 death of Clover Adams, wife of the esteemed historian Henry Adams--a member of the Adams family that has given the United States two presidents. Clover's suicide appears to be more than it at first seemed; the suspected foul play may involve matters of national importance. Holmes is currently on his great hiatus--his three-year absence after Reichenbach Falls, during which time the people of London believe him to be deceased. Holmes has faked his own death because through his powers of ratiocination, the great detective has come to the conclusion that he is a fictional character. This leads to serious complications for James, for if his esteemed fellow investigator is merely a work of fiction, what does that make him? And what can the master storyteller do to fight against the sinister power--possibly named Moriarty--that may or may not be controlling them from the shadows? ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Murders in the Rue Morgue , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 99min

The Murders in the Rue Morgue is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham's Magazine in 1841. It has been recognized as the first modern detective story; Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination". Two works that share some similarities predate Poe's stories, including "Das Fräulein von Scuderi" (1819) by ETA Hoffmann and "Zadig" (1747) by Voltaire. C. Auguste Dupin is a man in Paris who solves the mystery of the brutal murder of two women. Numerous witnesses heard a suspect, though no one agrees on what language was spoken. At the murder scene, Dupin finds a hair that does not appear to be human. As the first fictional detective, Poe's Dupin displays many traits which became literary conventions in subsequent fictional detectives, including Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. Many later characters, for example, follow Poe's model of the brilliant detective, his personal friend who serves as narrator, and the final revelation being presented before the reasoning that leads up to it. Dupin himself reappears in "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt" and "The Purloined Letter". ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Phil Chenevert.

Der erste Detektiv. Die komplette Auguste Dupin-Trilogie, Hörbuch, Digital, 202min

Der erste Detektiv: Die komplette Auguste Dupin-Trilogie von Edgar Allan Poe.Die Mordtat in der Rue Morgue,Das Geheimnis der Marie Rogêt,Der gestohlene Brief.Edgar Allan Poe (19. Januar 1809 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA - 7. Oktober 1849 in Baltimore, Maryland) ist unbestritten der Erfinder der Detektivgeschichte und sein Detektiv Le Chevalier C. Auguste Dupin bereitete die Bühne für exzentrische, logische Privatdetektive wie Sherlock Holmes und Hercule Poirot. Dupin machte seinen ersten Auftritt in Poes Kurzgeschichte "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" (1841), die weithin als der erste Kriminalroman dieses Genres gilt. Er erscheint erneut in "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt" (1842) und "The Purloined Letter" (1844).Dupin ist kein professioneller Detektiv und seine Motivation, die Geheimnisse zu lösen, ändert sich in den drei Geschichten. Mit dem, was Poe "ratiocination" nannte, kombiniert Dupin seinen analytischen Verstand mit kreativer Phantasie und versetzt sich gleichzeitig in die Gedankenwelt des jeweiligen Verbrechers. Seine scharfsinnigen Fähigkeiten sind stark genug, um sogar die Gedanken seines Begleiters, des namenlosen Erzählers aller drei Geschichten, lesen zu können.Edgar Allan Poe schuf den Dupin-Charakter, noch bevor das Wort "Detective" überhaupt geprägt wurde. Dieser Charakter legte den Grundstein für viele nachfolgende fiktive Detektive, darunter Sherlock Holmes, und sein Erfinder etablierte damit die meisten Elemente des bis heute beliebten klassischen Detektiv-Fiction-Genres.Der Sprecher:Richard Heinrich, Jahrgang 1972, Theater/Film Schauspieler, u.a. Deutsches Theater, Thalia Hamburg, Volkstheater Rostock, ist auch als Producer und Regisseur tätig. Seit 2012 arbeitet er vorwiegend in seinem eigenen Studio, den Puppy Studios, ist international für verschiedene Kunden und Verlage ebenso als Sprecher für Hörbücher, Hörspiele, Voiceover, Synchron und Dokumentationen tät deutsch.
