About the Book

La carta robada, es un cuento de género policial, su historia transcurre en París en los años 1800. Un prefecto de la policía recurre al detective Dupin y a su amigo, el narrador, con el objetivo de resolver el caso de una carta robada en las cámaras reales, la cual, el ladrón usa para obtener poder sobre él con fines políticos. El ladrón, es el Ministro D***, el cual fue visto por la víctima y un tercero, robando la carta. Dupin se niega a tomar el caso, dando consejos al Prefecto de cómo revisar la propiedad del ladrón, a efectos de hallar la carta en cuestión, ya que han sido infructuosas las cuantiosas búsquedas efectuadas. El prefecto procede a realizar una serie de allanamientos en la mansión del ministro D***, inspeccionando con microscopio cada rincón, mueble y objeto posible de la casa, donde la carta podría haber sido escondida, pero sus intentos, tal como la primera vez, fueron en vano. Sin saber qué más hacer o dónde buscar, el Prefecto vuelve por la ayuda de Dupin, ofreciéndole una gran recompensa por resolver el caso. Dupin acepta, para entregarle la carta que él ya había recuperado por sus propios medios, utilizando procedimientos más simples que los del prefecto. Dupin se puso en lugar del ladrón, lo analizó, y dedujo que éste no sería capaz de esconderla en lugares donde posiblemente la policía podría revisar, sino en el sitio más simple y visible, donde, por la naturaleza expuesta del lugar, la carta no sería buscada ni sospechada. Encontró la carta en un tarjetero, muy manchada y arrugada, se hallaba rota, casi en dos, por el medio, como si una primera intención de hacerla pedazos por su nulo valor hubiera sido cambiado y detenido. Dupin robó la carta y la reemplazó fácilmente por otra que había preparado cuidadosamente en casa, imitando el monograma de D***, con mucha facilidad, por medio de un sello de miga de pan... Seh Dans cette nouvelle, le détective Auguste Dupin est informé par G..., le préfet de police de Paris, qu'une lettre de la plus haute importance a été volée dans le boudoir royal. Le moment précis du vol et le voleur, D..., sont connus du policier, mais celui-ci est dans l'incapacité d'accabler le coupable. Malgré des fouilles extrêmement minutieuses effectuées au domicile du voleur, G... n'a en effet pas pu retrouver la lettre. Mettre la main sur cette dernière est pourtant d'une grande importance, car son possesseur se retrouve en mesure d'exercer des pressions sur le membre de la famille royale à qui il l'a dérobée. G... en vient donc à demander l'aide de Dupin. Quelques semaines plus tard, Dupin restitue la lettre au préfet. Il explique alors au narrateur comment certains principes simples lui ont permis de retrouver la lettre. Comme dans Double assassinat dans la rue Morgue, La Lettre volée met en scène Dupin et ses célèbres facultés d'analyse. La réflexion logique est au centre de la nouvelle, et toute une part de l'intrigue s'appuie sur les difficultés à trouver une solution rationnelle à la disparition de la lettre. Lors de sa visite à Dupin, G... explique les raisonnements qui lui ont permis de découvrir l'identité du voleur, D..., et ceux qui lui ont permis de déduire que la lettre était toujours en sa possession, cachée quelque part dans son domicile. En dépit de ses certitudes, G... ne parvient pourtant pas à récupérer l'objet: le mystère se partage donc entre d'une part la possession certaine d'éléments, et de l'autre l'incapacité à obtenir des résultats. Si Dupin réussit, lui, à résoudre cette apparente contradiction, c'est parce qu'il a su raisonner autrement que le policier, dont les déductions, pour justes qu'elles fussent, n'ont pas suffi à résoudre l'affaire. G... a en vain cherché la lettre en la supposant cachée: il a sondé tous les espaces pouvant abriter une lettre qu'on aurait voulu dissimuler.
