En la aldea de Orcival, unos pescadores furtivos han descubierto el cadáver de una mujer, la Condesa de Trémorel. No muy lejos de allí, el castillo en el que habitaba la víctima ha sido profusamente registrado, y la policía no halla rastro alguno del Conde de Trémorel, esposo de la víctima.Enviado por la Prefectura de Policía, el agente Lecoq, el más hábil investigador del cuerpo, es capaz de establecer los elementos del terrible crimen.Pero aunque cuenta con un elaborado plan para desentrañar el misterio, Lecoq es consciente de que el resultado de sus pesquisas se presenta preocupantemente incierto.Émile Gaboriau (1832-1873) fue un escritor y periodista francés, considerado uno de los padres del género de la novela policíaca. Nacido en la localidad francesa de Saujon, estudió derecho en París antes de dedicarse a la escritura. Su primer éxito literario llegó con la publicación de su novela El proceso Lerouge en 1866, que introdujo al personaje del policía Lecoq, su detective de cabecera en muchas más obras, y estableció muchos de los elementos que se han convertido en clásicos del género de la novela de misterio.

Inspiré d'une histoire vraie... Considéré comme le père du roman policier français, Émile Gaboriau s´inspire, comme il le fera dans d´autres récits, d´un fait divers dramatique qui défraya la chronique en 1865. Il y relate ainsi la trépidante enquête menée autour de l´assassinat de Célestine Lerouge, sauvagement égorgée dans le quartier de la place d´Italie, à Paris. L´intérêt de l´oeuvre présentée dans cette édition est double. D´une part, il s´agit d´un roman novateur pour son époque, au point qu´il influencera notamment Arthur Conan Doyle et son célèbre Sherlock Holmes. D´une autre, il est aussi question d´une histoire savamment racontée au sein de laquelle l´auteur fait preuve d´un sens aiguisé de l´observation comparable sur le plan méthodologique à celui que l´on retrouve chez les journalistes de terrains ou chez les ethnologues, les moindres détails de l´enquête étant dévoilés avec minutie. Par ailleurs, si le lecteur éprouvera sans nul doute un grand plaisir à lire cette histoire formidablement écrite, il y notera qu´il y est question, comme dans toutes grandes oeuvres littéraires, de porter un regard critique sur son temps, en dénonçant par exemple les travers d´une justice qui reste, cent cinquante années après la première publication des pages qui suivent, largement perfectible.

L'affaire des poisons est une série d'empoissonnements qui secouèrent Paris et sa cour sous le règne de Louis XIV. La marquise de Brinvilliers est accusée d'avoir empoissonné son père et deux de ses frères à l'aide d'un poison d'apothicaire composé d'arsenic et de bave de crapaud. Son long procès, sa condamnation et son exécution défrayent la chronique. Ils seront rapportés par Madame de Sévigné dans sa correspondance (Lettres en annexe de cette édition). Émile Gaboriau, père du roman policier et inspirateur d'Arthur Conan Doyle, se base sur ses faits historiques pour nous livrer l'un de ses plus beaux textes. À sa mort en 1873, ce roman est inachevé, les derniers chapitres furent rédigés par un inconnu pour permettre sa publication en 1881.

Ce roman historique a pour thème la révolution. Ecrit en 1870, alors que les Prussiens sont sous les murs de Paris et moins d'un siècle après par un homme ayant connu des acteurs et des témoins des événements, dont l'environnement n'était pas encore totalement étranger à celui de l'époque, il a le mérite de restituer naturellement l'ordinaire de jours fiévreux et les événements de l'année 1792. Solidement étayé, vivant c'est un livre patriotique qui répond au besoin d'une époque noire. Ce n'est pas une oeuvre d'une grande valeur littéraire, l'excès de patriotisme nuit considérablement à l'esthétique.

There is not in all Paris a house better kept or more inviting-looking than No. 23 in Grange Street. As soon as you enter, you are struck by a minute, extreme neatness, which reminds you of Holland, and almost sets you a-laughing. The neighbors might use the brass plate on the door as a mirror to shave in; the stone floor is polished till it shines; and the woodwork of the staircase is varnished to perfection. In the entrance-hall a number of notices, written in the peculiar style which owners of houses affect, request the tenants to respect the property of others, without regard to the high price they pay for their share. "Clean your feet, if you please," they say to all who come in or go out. "No spitting allowed on the stairs." "Dogs are not allowed in the house." Nevertheless, this admirably-kept house "enjoyed" but a sorry reputation in the neighborhood. Was it worse than other houses, -No. 21, for instance, or No. 25? Probably not; but there is a fate for houses as well as for men. The first story was occupied by the families of two independent gentlemen, whose simplicity of mind was only equalled by that of their mode of life. A collector, who occasionally acted as broker, lived in the second story, and had his offices there. The third story was rented to a very rich man, a baron as people said, who only appeared there at long intervals, preferring, according to his own account, to live on his estates near Saintonge. The whole fourth story was occupied by a man familiarly known as Papa Ravinet, although he was barely fifty years old. He dealt in second-hand merchandise, furniture, curiosities, and toilet articles; and his rooms were filled to overflowing with a medley collection of things which he was in the habit of buying at auctions. The fifth story, finally, was cut up in numerous small rooms and closets, which were occupied by poor families or clerks, who, almost without exception, disappeared early in the morning, and returned only as late as possible at night.

IT WAS A THURSDAY EVENING, THE FIFTEENTH OF OCTOBER; AND ALTHOUGH ONLY HALF-PAST SIX O'CLOCK, IT HAD BEEN DARK FOR SOME TIME ALREADY. THE WEATHER WAS COLD, AND THE SKY WAS AS BLACK AS INK, WHILE THE WIND BLEW TEMPESTUOUSLY, AND THE RAIN FELL IN TORRENTS. THE SERVANTS AT THE HOTEL DE CHALUSSE, ONE OF THE MOST MAGNIFICENT MANSIONS IN THE RUE DE COURCELLES IN PARIS, WERE ASSEMBLED IN THE PORTER'S LODGE, A LITTLE BUILDING COMPRISING A COUPLE OF ROOMS STANDING ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE GREAT GATEWAY. HERE, AS IN ALL LARGE MANSIONS, THE "CONCIERGE" OR PORTER, M. BOURIGEAU, WAS A PERSON OF IMMENSE IMPORTANCE, ALWAYS ABLE AND DISPOSED TO MAKE ANY ONE WHO WAS INCLINED TO DOUBT HIS AUTHORITY, FEEL IT IN CRUEL FASHION. AS COULD BE EASILY SEEN, HE HELD ALL THE OTHER SERVANTS IN HIS POWER. HE COULD LET THEM ABSENT THEMSELVES WITHOUT LEAVE, IF HE CHOSE, AND CONCEAL ALL RETURNS LATE AT NIGHT AFTER THE CLOSING OF PUBLIC BALLS AND WINE-SHOPS. THUS, IT IS NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT M. BOURIGEAU AND HIS WIFE WERE TREATED BY THEIR FELLOW-SERVANTS WITH THE MOST SERVILE ADULATION.

On the first Sunday in the month of August, 1815, at ten o'clock precisely-as on every Sunday morning-the sacristan of the parish church at Sairmeuse sounded the three strokes of the bell which warn the faithful that the priest is ascending the steps of the altar to celebrate high mass. The church was already more than half full, and from every side little groups of peasants were hurrying into the church-yard. The women were all in their bravest attire, with cunning little fichus crossed upon their breasts, broad-striped, brightly colored skirts, and large white coifs.

Le 20 février 18.., un dimanche, qui se trouvait être le dimanche gras, sur les onze heures du soir, une ronde d'agents du service de la sûreté sortait du poste de police de l'ancienne barrière d'Italie. La mission de cette ronde était d'explorer ce vaste quartier qui s'étend de la route de Fontainebleau à la Seine, depuis les boulevards extérieurs jusqu'aux fortifications.

Le premier dimanche du mois d'août 1815, à dix heures précises, -comme tous les dimanches, -le sacristain de la paroisse de Sairmeuse sonna les trois coups, qui annoncent aux fidèles que le prêtre monte à l'autel pour la grand'messe. L'église était plus d'à-moitié pleine, et de tous côtés arrivaient en se hâtant des groupes de paysans et de paysannes. Les femmes étaient en grande toilette, avec leurs fichus de cou bien tirés à quatre épingles, leurs jupes à larges rayures et leurs grandes coiffes blanches. Seulement, économes autant que coquettes, elles allaient les pieds nus, tenant à la main leurs souliers, que respectueusement elles chaussaient avant d'entrer dans la maison de Dieu.

The traveller who wishes to go from Poitiers to London by the shortest route will find that the simplest way is to take a seat in the stage-coach which runs to Saumur; and when you book your place, the polite clerk tells you that you must take your seat punctually at six o'clock. The next morning, therefore, the traveller has to rise from his bed at a very early hour, and make a hurried and incomplete toilet, and on arriving, flushed and panting, at the office, discover that there was no occasion for such extreme haste.

"One would really suppose that I had suggested some questionable act to you. Your reply, Paul, plainly proves to me that you are one of those who, for want of determination, fall, helpless, by the wayside in the journey of life. They flaunt their rags and tatters in the eyes of the world, and with saddened hearts and empty stomachs utter the boast, 'I am an honest man.' Do you think that, in order to be rich, you must perforce be a rogue? This is simple imbecility." She uttered this tirade in clear and vibrant accents, and her eyes gleamed with the fire of savage resolution. Her nature was one of those cruel and energetic ones, which lead a woman to hurl a man from the brink of the abyss to which she had conducted him, and to forget him before he has ever reached the bottom.
