Про автора
Émile Gaboriau (1833–1873) was a pioneer of the detective fiction genre, renowned for introducing the methodical crime-solving detective Monsieur Lecoq, a character who remarkably influenced the creation of other iconic sleuths in literary history. Born in the small town of Saujon, Charente-Maritime, France, Gaboriau’s early career tread through the arenas of clerking and journalism before he found his true calling in the world of literature. In a literary career that blossomed in the midst of the 19th century, Gaboriau crafted stories that intricately wove elements of mystery and justice, capturing the intrigue of a society increasingly fascinated by crime and forensic science. His best-known works include ‘L’Affaire Lerouge’ (1866), where Monsieur Lecoq first appeared, and the subsequent books that cemented the detective’s reputation such as ‘Le Dossier No. 113’ (1867), ‘Les Esclaves de Paris’ (1868), and ‘Le Crime d’Orcival’ (1867). Though Gaboriau’s writing would be overshadowed by the later success of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, his contributions to the genre were crucial in shaping detective fiction’s formative structure. Gaboriau’s attention to detail and the logical deduction was an inspiration for the literature that followed, and his legacy persists in the nuanced, problem-solving heroes of crime stories today. His collected works, often found in anthologies such as the ‘ÉMILE GABORIAU Ultimate Collection: Murder Mysteries, Crime Thrillers & Detective Novels’, continue to be studied and enjoyed by aficionados of the genre for their innovative take on criminal investigation and the complexities of human nature.
