Produktbeschreibung
In '49 Tales of The Thinking Machine', Jacques Futrelle serves the readers a thought-provoking collection that showcases the extraordinary deductive prowess of his iconic character, Professor Augustus S. F. X. Van Dusen. Known widely as 'The Thinking Machine', Van Dusen's ability to unravel complex mysteries with unyielding logic is legendary.

Featuring a range of enigmatic cases, Futrelle's narrative style is crisp, engaging, and laced with a wit that befits the cerebral Universe of his creation, immersing readers in its logical twists and turns. Jacques Futrelle's creation is deeply rooted in the golden age of detective fiction, reflecting his own fascination with puzzles and the human mind's capacity to solve them.

'The Thinking Machine', his magnum opus, became a symbol of the era's optimism about the power of human thought to overcome any obstacle through sheer reasoning, an ideal that perhaps sprang from Futrelle's own belief in the potential of logic.

Autorenporträt
Jacques Heath Futrelle, born on April 9, 1875, in Pike County, Georgia, was an American journalist and mystery writer famed for his unique and intellectual detective stories, especially those featuring the cerebral detective character known as 'The Thinking Machine'. Before turning to fiction, Futrelle worked as a journalist and theatrical writer, but he eventually became engrossed in the world of detective fiction. His work is typified by the use of intricate, logic-based puzzles, which his hero, Professor Augustus S. F. X. Van Dusen (The Thinking Machine), would unravel in a methodical and scientific manner. Futrelle's legacy as an author is most famously encapsulated in his collection '49 Tales of The Thinking Machine', which showcases his skill in combining complex plots with a rational approach to detective work (Futrelle, 1918). Although Futrelle's literary career was cut short when he perished in the tragic sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912, his contributions to the genre of detective fiction continue to be celebrated for their ingenuity and influence on later detective narratives. His writing style involved an emphasis on the powers of deductive reasoning and logic, aligning with the rising fascination with science and rationality of the early twentieth-century literati. Despite the brevity of his career, Jacques Futrelle remains a distinguished figure in the annals of crime and mystery literature.
