Precursor of the detective novel and science fiction, an outstanding fantasy novelist, Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was first recognized by French authors such as Baudelaire and Mallarmé, who were his translators. To celebrate the tenth title of the collection, this “Pli” is doubled: 128 pages of suspense and invention wrapped in a black jacket where Poe’s face appears in relief, like the famous stolen letter from the eponymous tale, invisible because it is right in front of our eyes.
