Paris, J- Early this morning, cries of terror were heard in the western part of the city. An old woman and her daughter, living alone in an old house in the Rue Morgue, had been killed in the middle of the night. We read in the newspaper about a terrible killing. One morning, in the heat of the summer, Dupin showed me once again his special mental power. Sometimes Dupin seemed to be not one, but two people - one who coldly put things together, and another who just as coldly took them apart. He seemed to look right through a person and uncover their deepest thoughts. It was in Paris in the summer of 1840 that I met August Dupin.ĭupin was a strangely interesting young man with a busy, forceful mind. The story was originally adapted and recorded by VOA Learning English. We present the second of five parts of the short story "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," by Edgar Allen Poe.
