Wrote The# Vrst Detective Story Thriller M7ritr all over the w,,orla are paying. tribute tliis year to the strange genilis who wrote the first detectiv-e story ,-thriller, "The Murders In The Rue Morgue," the valuable maanuscript of which a few years ego was sold for $25,0l00. Edgar Allan Poe was the man wbo wrote this masterpiece ef logical reaseîlng, in which the rnurderer proves te be an ape. It was fthe forerunner ef ail ether detective stories. Poe is being specially remnemr- bered in '1959 because he was bpx-n t Boston, Massachusetts, 150 yeers age T'he life of this master of the horrifie was as sensational as aîy of hîs bizarre thrillers ,,n d tales ef mystery. Drink, drugs and debt wer'e bis "tbree dogging demons," as oie expert on Poe an-d his works bas eaiied them. They heIped te ruin hlm. Se did bis many- frarttic flir- tations and love affairs, all of which ended unhappily. Talçe a look et this brilliant but strangeiy proportionef mai with the sallow face, the bigh, *bnormý,ally wide forehead, the brooding, deeP-set eyes and the sensitive mouth. It isý easy" te *understand why women found hlm .attractive, He lied a morbid imagination and a teste for the gruesome and the ghastly. Be was irritable and capricious. He wes rebellilous, and while a cadet et the West Point Military Aeademy wag ex- Pelled because hie disobeyed or- ders. But he was capable of in- tense love as he preved wben he married his pretty cousin -Vir- ginle, He was then twetysee and strlying te, becem afaou, writer. She was only feurteen - à cbuid-wîfe. She ha a siim figure, straigbt hair,, candid eyes aid e, pink and white complexion. But she wes delicate. Ber moody, nervous hugband idolized her. They were practieally penni-. less and otten close te starvation. At ené trime their cireumnstances, were se wretched that they were reduced to living in oe little room with ne fire. Their only furniture was a bed of strew with a counterpane aid tweo sheets. On coid dayw?- oe weîfld wrap his frài1 littie wlfe in b1s ever- e-,at and then place their ct on ber to belp lceep lier warm as she lay, slowly dying et consuiuption. Virginia died in Januery, 1847. Se great was the shock of losing bier that Poe sank inte e state of semi-torper. He wished te, die. One niglit a cemetery keeper found hlm moaning pitleously, haif-frozen, on bis wvle's grave. 13y a big effort of will he raI- lied and tried te forget his sor- row in. work. Despite their nmis- ery bis marriage te Virgina had enabled hîm te find some ef the peace he souglit in contrast ta, the sinister nightmare of his thouglits when he draîk too much or tookç opium. Weird, macabre stories con- tiuiued te fiow from his pen in rpite of his recurring fits of de- pression. Be became a niaster ef the art of short-stery wrtin g Se well did lie write that theora are critics to-day who declare stories, 'The Teli-Tale Heaýrt," is a masterpiec et suspense. It des-. cribes how a miad servant mur- ders his egedi master, dismecm-. bers the body and conceals it lie- nenth the floorboards., While police question hlm closely, bis guilty fRfs cause the mnaniac te imagine that lie hears the loud, insistent beating 0f his victin"s heant. This be-. cornes so unlieaable th&t in a final agony of terrer the mur- derer screamns lis confessions. Mystery aid horror themes drew Poe like a mnagnet. Bow lie revelled in writing grim- tales of gbostly-haunted tombs, murder, shipw;ýreck, premnature burial and reveng&e is hnunting poem " Thet Rayon" caused a sensation when it wes fir§t publîshed In January, 1845. It is about a lover who Is lemnenting« his lest mistress when a raven cornes and perches on a bust fi is chemi-br, Be think-. it isý supernatural andi that its frequ,,eytly repeated an s we r "Nýevermore" te liii trantie que.s- lions echees the -voice of bis dead iitress. Son-e readers have dleclared thet the poemn's haunting refrain, ceused them to, have niigltmares in which the reven always ap- peamed. Poe received only $10 for the poemn. Yet when the mnanuscript 'was seld sorme quarter of a ce-- tury mago it fetched $60,000. What inluenced Poe te write so mnucli tht itiakes peopes fîesh creep? Sorne experts wb0 have studied bis terrer tales closely say ail thoe rmurders, tombs and eerie vaults about refleet bis con- stanit 7ioîgiig fer death beceuse ef bis miserable 1f e and lierrow-. ing boybeed, for he -wes Ieft an erphan bc-fore bis third birtbday. Others thinký that the grisly tales ef spooks and graveyards toid bim by sailormen in bis youtb iîspired 1,somne of bis mnost fantastic plots. Exactly bow Poe spent bis lest days is not kuiewn. One story is that while travelling te Balti- more in 1840 lie fei lite the bands of a ,gang of ruffians whe were ini search oef accomplices or victims. "It was an eletioneering day for a nemnber of Congress, and Poe was carried by bis capters i-te an electieneerlng den, where lie was drugged witb whisky, the story runs. "With other victimis ho wvas then dragged f rom polliîg sta- tion te polling station aid forced to vote for a particular> candidate wbose ticket was placed ini bis biand," As a thriller wïriter Poe could .hardly have imagined a m.-ore macabre story than that haIf- th e X-1 5 is de! u intIo la the ond is speeda% As cf _March 31 the most fam- ous poemn in the English tongue on the subjects cf agnosticiîsmr and wine bibbing hadl been in publication for 100 years. On that date, a hands1omeý centennial edi- tbon of Edward FitzGeralcd's "Rubàiyat" vas publishedi by thte Colby College Press in Maine. In 100 y e ars, unnumbered copies of the "Rubaiy at of Omar Khayyam" have beei4 soif - cer- tainly more than a million - and the market is stili boomning. Amnrg leading U.S. publishers of thie poem, Pocket Books re- ported 330,000 sales between 1941 and 1953; Books, Ine., has sold îomne 76,000 copies in eighteen s.uccessive printings, ai-d Double- day has 'sold about 107,000 copies tince 1946. For more than two year atej the poem nfirs4 a ppeared i n g-j lund. in 1859, heralded by onlyl two minuscule advertisements, not a singie copy was so1d. In 1861, a Celtie seholar rnated Whitley Stokes picked up the "Rulbaiyat" on a bookstall and flared with exitement. He pre- sented q copy to the poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who alerted the ~ poets Robert Browning and AI-. gernon Charles Swinburne and lhereby others. Copies reached Ralph Waldô Emerson and James Russell Lowell in America. What aroused the inteirest and admiration of all these men was a wonderfully inventive and musically magical. rEndeprlng of the eleventh -century Persian poet-astronomner. OmLar>s senti- ments were bound to appea tot FitzGerald. A son of Suffolk gentiity, he had gene to Cam- bridge and soon retired to Suf- folk aigain, to a life of warmn friendships, boo-ks, inusie, gar- denings, and depressing religious doumbts. His scholarly friend Ed- ward Çowell described him as 4.a kind of zlumbering giant, or sulent Vesuvitis." It was Cowell who led hlm to Omar, and in 1857 FitzGerald wrete t-hat "Ornar breathes a sort of consola- tion to mre!" Two years later - 2 fuil 29 years after he had left the university - FitzGerald, t 50, offered that consolation tot the English-s-peaking world.
