About the Book

Mademoiselle Henriette, fille du comte de la Ville-Handry, est sauvee in-extremis du suicide par le pere Ravinet, brocanteur de son etat. Trop fiere pour se plaindre, isolee par les pudeurs de la pauvrete, la malheureuse qui gisait la, avait du subir bien des angoisses. Ainsi pensait le pere Ravinet, quand une feuille de papier attira ses regards. Il la prit. C'etait comme le testament de la pauvre fille. Qu'on n'accuse personne. Je meurs volontairement. Je prie Madame Chevassat de porter a leur adresse les lettres jointes. Henriette. Touche par son malheur, il decide de l'aider a retrouver fortune, honneur et amour et de chatier les escrocs qui cherchent a la depouiller. Emile Gaboriau, ne le 9 novembre 1832 a Saujon (Charente-Inferieure)et mort le 28 septembre 1873 a Paris (Seine), est un ecrivain francais, considere comme le pere du roman policier. Son personnage, l'enqueteur Lecoq, a influence Conan Doyle pour la creation de Sherlock Holmes. Il a lui-meme ete tres influence par Edgar Allan Poe. Biographie Gaboriau exerca divers metiers: clerc d'avoue, hussard en Afrique, chef d'ecurie. Il s'engagea dans la cavalerie pour sept ans, mais resilia son contrat rapidement pour gagner Paris, ou il redigea des chroniques pour gagner sa vie. Il devint le secretaire de Paul Feval, qui lui fit decouvrir le journalisme.C'est d'ailleurs grace a l'auteur des Mysteres de Paris qu'il sera recu en 1866 au sein de la Societe des gens de lettres. Son premier roman, L'Affaire Lerouge, d'abord publie sans succes sous forme de feuilleton en 1863 dans Le Pays, devint tres populaire en 1866 lorsqu'il est repris dans le journal Le Soleil puis par Le Petit Journal. La cooperation de Gaboriau avec le directeur du quotidien a un sou Moise Polydore Millaud lui permettra de beneficier des rouages de la reclame pour acceder a la notoriete. Dans son premier roman judiciaire, l'auteur met en scene le Pere Tabaret, dit Tirauclair, et introduit l'agent de la securite Lecoq, qui deviendra un commissaire celebre et le personnage principal des romans suivants. Inspire par le chef de la surete Francois Vidocq, deja a l'origine du Vautrin de Balzac, il est le modele du detective ingenieux qui, n'hesitant pas a se travestir, resout des enigmes par ses capacites deductives hors normes. Ce dernier personnage devait inspirer Conan Doyle et Maurice Leblanc. Mais, a la difference de Sherlock Holmes, les enquetes de Lecoq reposent sur des investigations plus realistes, plus proches des progres de la police scientifique de l'epoque. Les romans policiers de Gaboriau font penetrer l'intrigue dans les milieux sociaux, qu'ils decrivent d'une maniere qu'on peut qualifier de naturaliste. En cela, l'influence de Gaboriau sur le roman policier francais reste tres importante. Ses analyses psychologiques tres fines (Le Crime d'Orcival) ont inspire jusqu'a Georges Simenon. Apres le succes de L'Affaire Lerouge, Gaboriau travailla comme feuilletoniste au Petit Journal. Les feuilletons furent par la suite publies en volumes chez Edouard Dentu. En 1872, il ecrivit avec Jules-Emile-Baptiste Holstein une piece de theatre tiree de L'Affaire Lerouge. Gaboriau mourut en 1873."
