Between 1841 and 1844, Edgar Allan Poe invented the genre of detective fiction with three mesmerizing stories of a young French eccentric named C. Auguste Dupin. Introducing to literature the concept of applying reason to solving crime, these tales brought Poe fame and fortune. 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. 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".-------------------------------------------------------Siendo el primer detective verdadero de ficción, el personaje de Dupin estableció muchos dispositivos literarios que se usarían en futuros detectives ficticios, incluidos Sherlock Holmes y Hercule Poirot.
