La obra de Edgar Allan Poe ejerció una influencia decisiva en la literatura por muchos motivos. Uno de ellos es haber inventado el género policial, que inicia con las tres narraciones que incluimos en esta edicion. El protagonista de estos cuentos es el celebre Dupin, un detective solitario y excentrico que, sirviendose de la razon pero tambien de la intuicion y de la imaginacion, es capaz de develar los misterios mas indescifrables.
