Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of short stories written between 1842 and 1868 that have been considered key pieces in the development of the modern detective story. By collecting accounts of crimes and their subsequent investigation and solution, the author argues that crime and criminality are social products rather than the result of individual personality or moral failing, a radical idea for its time. The author's work is rooted in the 19th-century French realism movement, but its influence extends far beyond this genre. Many of the stories feature murder or other violent crimes, but there is a sense that the author is more interested in revealing the social and cultural contexts of crime than in depicting brutal violence for its own sake. These diverse, exciting, and thought-provoking tales demonstrate how a painstaking process of logical analysis, abetted by powers of astute observation, can be applied to the discovery of truth, and continue to be influential in the detective, crime, and legal genres. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
