For many readers, the detective is primarily associated with Sherlock Holmes. And it is the stories of an outstanding detective who became the standard of the Victorian detective story. In general, a detective story as a special genre was a product of the nineteenth century. In the same row are three stories by Edgar Allan Poe about detective Dupin, who are considered to be the beginning of a classic detective story. The fact is that the industrial revolution led to the rapid growth of cities, enormous social stratification and unprecedented migrations of the human masses. In this troubled water, almost all types of crimes known today (well, except for hacking, naturally) arose and structured, and a long-term request appeared for the reading audience for the image of a smart, dexterous, intellectually sophisticated and technically savvy detective. In this collection you will find all those textbook works with which detective literature began.
