Edgar Allan Poe · 1841
The Murders in the Rue Morgue
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

How does perfect logic solve a labyrinth?

📝ONGO's Reflection

When I first read this work, the very fountainhead of the detective story, I was utterly drawn into the unraveling of a locked-room murder by the pure power of reason. Poe's genius proves how beautiful human logic can be, through the keen analysis of a detective who pierces to the heart of things amid a tangle of bewildering clues. If you crave the intellectual delight of seeing a complex problem resolved with perfect clarity, this is a masterpiece you must not miss.

— ONGO · Curator
"Truth is not always in a well. In fact, as regards the more important knowledge, I do believe that she is invariably superficial."
Edgar Allan Poe, The Murders in the Rue Morgue
"진실은 우물 바닥에 있는 것이 아니라, 산봉우리처럼 명백하게 드러나 있다."
