(Extrait: S’y aventurer de nuit était réputé si dangereux...)
Extrait: S’y aventurer de nuit était réputé si dangereux, que les soldats des forts venus à Paris, avec la permission du spectacle, avaient ordre de s’attendre à la barrière et de ne rentrer que par groupes de trois ou quatre. C’est que les terrains vagues, encore nombreux, devenaient, passé minuit, le domaine de cette tourbe de misérables sans aveu et sans asile, qui redoutent jusqu’aux formalités sommaires des plus infâmes garnis. Les vagabonds et les repris de justice s’y donnaient rendez-vous. Si la journée avait été bonne, ils faisaient ripaille avec les comestibles volés aux étalages. Quand le sommeil les gagnait, ils se glissaient sous les hangars des fabriques ou parmi les décombres de maisons abandonnées.

(At about eleven o'clock in the evening of the 20th of Feb...)
At about eleven o'clock in the evening of the 20th of February, 186—, which chanced to be Shrove Sunday, a party of detectives left the police station near the old Barriere d'Italie to the direct south of Paris. Their mission was to explore the district extending on the one hand between the highroad to Fontainebleau and the Seine, and on the other between the outer boulevards and the fortifications. This quarter of the city had at that time anything but an enviable reputation. To venture there at night was considered so dangerous that the soldiers from the outlying forts who came in to Paris with permission to go to the theatre, were ordered to halt at the barriere, and not to pass through the perilous district excepting in parties of three or four. After midnight, these gloomy, narrow streets became the haunt of numerous homeless vagabonds, and escaped criminals and malefactors, moreover, made the quarter their rendezvous. If the day had been a lucky one, they made merry over their spoils, and when sleep overtook them, hid in doorways or among the rubbish in deserted houses. Every effort had been made to dislodge these dangerous guests, but the most energetic measures had failed to prove successful. Watched, hunted, and in imminent danger of arrest though they were, they always returned with idiotic obstinacy, obeying, as one might suppose, some mysterious law of attraction. Hence, the district was for the police an immense trap, constantly baited, and to which the game came of their own accord to be caught.

Là deux hommes sont étendus morts, un troisième ne tarde pas à les rejoindre. Une femme, la cabaretière se cache la tête sous son tablier, un autre homme en travers de la porte d’une petite salle qui offre une issue de secours pointe son pistolet sur les policiers et prononce une phrase étonnante : « Perdu ! C’est les Prussiens qui arrivent. » Pour l’inspecteur Gévrol la chose est simple, c’est un règlement de compte entre coquins. Mais un jeune policier, intrigué par la phrase, ne croit pas les choses si évidentes. Ce jeune policier, c’est Lecoq, qui deviendra monsieur Lecoq...

(Classic Detective Novels - Monsieur Lecoq - by Emile Gabo...)
Classic Detective Novels - Monsieur Lecoq - by Emile Gaboriau - Monsieur Lecoq is the creation of Emile Gaboriau, a 19th-century French writer and journalist. Monsieur Lecoq is a fictional detective employed by the French Surete. The character is one of the pioneers of the genre and a major influence on Sherlock Holmes (who, in A Study in Scarlet, calls him "a miserable bungler"), laying the groundwork for the methodical, scientifically minded detective. In French, "Monsieur" is "Mister" and his surname literally means "The Rooster". In the person of armchair detective Tabaret, nicknamed Pere Tireauclair, (lit. Father Bringer of Light, or "Old man Brings-to-light"), a title Lecoq himself will eventually inherit, Gaboriau also created an older mentor for Lecoq who, like Mycroft Holmes and Nero Wolfe, helps the hero solve particularly challenging puzzles while remaining largely inactive physically. In Tabaret's case, aid is dispensed from the comfort of his bed. One inspiration for the character of Monsieur Lecoq came from a certain Eugene François Vidocq, a real life criminal who later became a policeman and eventually the first director of the Surete. Another influence was a character named Monsieur Lecoq, who appeared in Les Habits Noirs, written by Paul Feval, pere who had been Gaboriau's employer in 1862. Honore de Balzac introduced the notorious Vautrin, also inspired by Vidocq, in Le Pere Goriot in 1834. Also, Alexandre Dumas, pere created the character of Monsieur Jackal, the mysterious head of the Paris Surete in Les Mohicans de Paris (1854–59). Lecoq first appears in L’Affaire Lerouge, published in 1866, in which he is described as "formerly an habitual criminal, now at one with the law, skilful at his job". Lecoq plays only a minor role in this story, much of which is taken up by Mister Tabaret, an amateur sleuth nicknamed "Tirauclair" (French for "clarifier"), whom Lecoq recommends to help solve a murder.

(A grisly triple murder occurs in a down-and-out quarter o...)
A grisly triple murder occurs in a down-and-out quarter of Paris, and the petty criminal apprehended at the scene of the crime is considered clearly guilty—except by young Monsieur Lecoq. The brilliant but inexperienced young detective digs deeper into the case to discover an affair of family honor involving blackmail, secret identities, and suicide. Outwitted at every turn, Lecoq is compelled to attempt a last-ditch gamble. First published in 1869, Monsieur Lecoq is astonishingly modern and enjoyable. André Gide pronounced author Emile Gaboriau "the father of the modern detective novel," and this is Gaboriau's finest work. Energetic and keenly logical, Lecoq ranks as a significant figure in the history of detective novels; Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself acknowledged the fictional sleuth's influence on his own logical mastermind, Sherlock Holmes.

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.

Anyone who is a fan of Sherlock Holmes would probably enjoy this. Acknowledged by A. C. Doyle as a predecessor to Sherlock by Sherlock himself in A Study in Scarlet, Sherlock probably says it best when he calls Monseiur LeCoq a bumbler. Brilliant, but a bumbler. Let's start at the beginning - of detective fiction, that is. "Monsieur LeCoq" the character is considered among the earliest of fictional detectives, and "Monsieur LeCoq" is perhaps the first book focused entirely on a detective trying to solve a crime. Within the first few pages a triple murder is committed, and even more astonishingly, the murderer is captured. The mystery is this: who is he? If they can't identify him, they can't charge him with the crime. The remaining, and might I say, entertaining, hundreds of pages are a battle of wits between the deductive LeCoq and his mysterious prisoner. To be sure, it is a little dated, but again, it was written 150 years ago. Astonishingly, most modern detective/crime fiction still follows the same pattern. A crime is committed, clues are followed and tension builds until the final revelation. You might as well call this the original CSI, you know "CSI: Paris-1869

Emile Gaboriau, who was Paul Feval's secretary, penned these two masterpieces of early detective novels in 1867: The Orcival Murder: Poachers discover the lifeless body of Countess of Tremorel in the woods near her castle. Her home has been ransacked and her husband has vanished. Despite the myriad of clues left to mislead the police, Monsieur Lecoq of the Surete solves the puzzle -- but at what price? File 113: A bank's safe is robbed. Two men are suspected: one is the bank's owner who lives above the bank, the other is his trusted manager. But what if neither is guilty? Leave it to Monsieur Lecoq, a detective of many disguises and much guile to uncover the devastating truth of deceit, betrayal, lies and murder. These two classics have been retranslated and annotated by Nina Cooper, who holds a Ph. D. in contemporary French literature from the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Cooper has previously translated Gaboriau's masterpiece Monsieur Lecoq for Black Coat Press. She has done work on the plays of Gabriel Marcel and Jean-Paul Sartre, as well as on the short stories of Julien Green."

Ce livre numérique présente "Toutes les aventures de Monsieur Lecoq (La collection intégrale)" avec une table des matières dynamique et détaillée. Notre édition a été spécialement conçue pour votre tablette/liseuse et le texte a été relu et corrigé soigneusement. Émile Gaboriau (1832-1873) est un écrivain français, considéré comme le père du roman policier. Son personnage, l'enquêteur Lecoq, a influencé Conan Doyle pour la création de Sherlock Holmes. Il a lui-même été très influencé par Edgar Allan Poe. Son premier roman, L'Affaire Lerouge, d'abord publié sans succès sous forme de feuilleton en 1863, devint très populaire en 1866. L'auteur y met en scène le Père Tabaret, dit Tirauclair, et introduit l'agent de la sécurité Lecoq, qui deviendra un commissaire célèbre et le personnage principal des romans suivants. Inspiré par le chef de la sûreté François Vidocq, déjà à l'origine du Vautrin de Balzac, il est le modèle du détective ingénieux qui, n'hésitant pas à se travestir, résout des énigmes par ses capacités déductives hors normes. Ce dernier personnage devait inspirer Conan Doyle et Maurice Leblanc. Mais, à la différence de Sherlock Holmes, les enquêtes de Lecoq reposent sur des investigations plus réalistes, plus proches des progrès de la police scientifique de l'époque. Les romans policiers de Gaboriau font pénétrer l'intrigue dans les milieux sociaux, qu'ils décrivent d'une manière qu'on peut qualifier de “naturaliste”. En cela, l'influence de Gaboriau sur le roman policier français reste très importante. Ses analyses psychologiques très fines (Le Crime d'Orcival) ont inspiré jusqu'à Georges Simenon. Table des matières L'affaire Lerouge - 1870 Le Crime d'Orcival - 1866 Le Dossier no 113 - 1867 Les Esclaves de Paris - 1868 Monsieur Lecoq (I & II) - 1869

Excerpt from Monsieur Lecoq the Honor of the Name:& The Honor of the Name, Vol. 2 When the Duc de Sairtneuse is about to receive a reward for his services, there will be enemies in plenty to remember and repeat my words. He knew this so well that he was greatly agitated, even while his colleagues sneered at my accusation." "It's a great crime to charge a man falsely," murmured Marie-Anne with simple honesty. "No doubt," rejoined Chanlouineau, "but I wish to save the baron, and I can not choose my means. As I knew that the marquis had been wounded, I declared that he was fighting against the troops by my side, and asked that he should be summoned before the tribunal; swearing that I had in my possession unquestionable proofs of his complicity." "Did you say that the Marquis de Sairmeuse had been wounded?" inquired Marie-Anne. Chanlouineau's face wore a look of intense astonishment. "What!" he exclaimed, "don't you know - ?" Then after an instant's reflection: "Fool that I am!" he resumed. "After all, who could have told you what happened? However, you remember that while we were on our way to the Croix d'Arcy, after your father had rode on in advance, Maurice placed himself at the head of one division, and you walked beside him, while your brother Jean and myself stayed behind to urge the laggards forward. We were performing our duty conscientiously enough, when suddenly we heard the gallop of a horse behind us. 'We must know who is coming,' said Jean to me. So we paused. The horse soon reached us; we caught the bridle and held him. Can you guess who the rider was? Why, Martial de Sairmeuse. It would be impossible to describe your brother's fury when he recognized the marquis. 'At last I find you, you wretched noble!' he exclaimed, 'and now we will settle our account! After reducing my father, who had just given you a fortune, to despair and penury, you tried to degrade my sister. I will have my revenge! Down, we must fight!" Marie-Anne could scarcely tell whether she were awake or dreaming. "What, my brother challenged the marquis!" she murmured; "is it possible?" "Brave as the marquis may be," pursued Chanlouineau, "he did not seem inclined to accept the invitation. He stammered out something like this: 'You are mad - you are jesting - haven't we always been friends? What does all this mean?' Jean ground his teeth in rage.

This volume contains, for the first time, the complete collection of MONSIEUR LECOQ adventures. LECOQ, the young and smart police officer, became the most famous detective before Sherlock Holmes. Lecoq solved crimes in a manner similar to Detective Dupin (Edgar Allan Poe’s). As Gaboriau admired Poe, it is not surprising that Lecoq and Dupin share many traits, “they both regard a mysterious puzzle as a challenge to their powers of perception; they reason with mathematical precision and enjoy giving little lectures on ‘algebraic analysis’ to their associates.” The seven novels are (with the original French names and other names under which they have been published): 1.The Lerouge Affair (L'Affaire Lerouge) AKA The Widow Lerouge 2. The Mystery of Orcival (Le Crime d'Orcival) 3. File No. 113 (Le Dossier n° 113) - AKA The Blackmailers The Slaves of Paris (Les Esclaves de Paris) In 2 volumes: 4. Caught in the Net (Le Chantage) 5. The Champdoce Mystery (Le Secret de la Maison de Champdoce) Monsieur Lecoq, in 2 volumes: 6. Monsieur Lecoq (L'Enquête) -AKA The Inquiry or The Detective's Dilemma 7. The Honor of the Name (L'Honneur du nom) AKA The Detective's Triumph

Émile Gaboriau (1832-1873) est un écrivain français, considéré comme le père du roman policier. Son personnage, l’enquêteur Lecoq, a influencé Conan Doyle pour la création de Sherlock Holmes. Il exerça divers métiers: clerc d’avoué, hussard en Afrique, chef d’écurie. Il s’engagea dans la cavalerie pour sept ans mais résilia son contrat rapidement pour gagner Paris où il écrivit des chroniques pour gagner sa vie. Il devint le secrétaire de Paul Féval avec qui il découvrit le journalisme. Son premier roman, L’Affaire Lerouge (1866) connut un immense succès. On y voit l’apparition de Lecoq, agent de la sûreté qui deviendra un commissaire célèbre. Les enquêtes de Lecoq reposent sur des investigations réalistes, proches des progrès de la police scientifique de l’époque. Les romans policiers de Gaboriau font pénétrer l’intrigue dans les milieux sociaux. Il décrit l’environnement d’une manière qui peut être qualifié de “naturaliste”. En cela, son influence sur le roman policier français reste très importante. Après le succès de L’Affaire Lerouge, il travailla comme feuilletoniste au Petit Journal. En 1872, il montera avec Jules-Émile-Baptiste Holstein un drame théâtral tiré de L’Affaire Lerouge.

Emile Gaboriau (1833-1873) is an important figure in the history of detective fiction. A French journalist and novelist, he created the "roman policier" with a series of books involving private detective Monsieur Lecoq, who works logically. Lecoq was based on a real-life thief turned policeman named Francois Vidocq (1775-1857), whose memoirs mixed fiction and fact. Gaboriau's huge following was eclipsed by Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. Interestingly, Holmes may have been at least partly based on another of Gaboriau's characters, consulting detective Father Tabaret, whose methods Monsieur Lecoq adopts in the first Lecoq book.

Sequel to Monsieur Lecoq. Louis XVIII has once again returned to power and the emigres are returing to France to reclaim the lands and fortunes they had relinquished. The Duc de Sairmeuse is returning to his tiny hamlet where the now widowed Lacheneur has been managing his estate for twenty years, so long that he is currently living in the chateau as owner. The duke is a snobbish tyrant of the old school and mortally offends the good Lacheneur who leaves the estate with only his daughter, not even allowing her to collect her clothing and other belongings. The duke's son, Martial, is very attracted to Lacheneur's daughter, Marie-Anne, who is secretly engaged to a baron's son, Maurice.

Gaboriau was born in the small town of Saujon, Charente-Maritime.
He became a secretary to Paul Féval, and after publishing some novels and miscellaneous writings, found his real gift in L"Affaire Lerouge (1866). The book, which was Gaboriau"s first detective novel, introduced an amateur detective. lieutenant also introduced a young police officer named Monsieur Lecoq, who was the hero in three of Gaboriau"s later detective novels.
The character of Lecoq was based on a real-life thief turned police officer, Eugène François Vidocq (1775–1857), whose own memoirs, Les Vrais Mémoires de Vidocq, mixed fiction and fact.
lieutenant may also have been influenced by the villainous Monsieur Lecoq, one of the main protagonists of Féval"s Les Habits Noirs book series. The book was published in "Le Siècle" and at once made his reputation.
Gaboriau gained a huge following, but when Arthur Conan Doyle created Sherlock Holmes, Monsieur Lecoq"s international fame declined. The story was produced on the stage in 1872.
A long series of novels dealing with the annals of the police court followed, and proved very popular.
Gaboriau died in Paris of pulmonary apoplexy. Gaboriau"s books were generally well received. About the Mystery of the Orcival, Harper"s wrote in 1872 "Of its class of romance - French sensational - this is a remarkable and unique specimen".
A film version of Le Dossier n° 113 (File Number 113) was released in 1932.
