"The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar" is a short story by American author Edgar Allan Poe about a mesmerist who puts a man in a suspended hypnotic state at the moment of death. An example of a tale of suspense and horror, it is also, to a certain degree, a hoax, as it was published without claiming to be fictional, and many at the time of publication (1845) took it to be a factual account. Poe toyed with this for a while before admitting it was a work of pure fiction in his marginalia. Edgar Allan Poe is also famous for such works as ''The Raven'', "The Cask of Amontillado", "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Masque of the Red Death", "The Pit and the Pendulum", "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Gold-Bug", "The Black Cat", "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar", "Hop-Frog" and many more.

Valdemar is a story by Edgar Allan Poe about a mesmerist who puts a man in a suspended hypnotic state at the moment of death. An example of a tale of suspense and horror, it is also, to a certain degree, a hoax, as it was published without claiming to be fictional, and many at the time of publication (1845) took it to be a factual account. Poe toyed with this for a while before admitting it was a work of pure fiction in his marginalia. Plot Summary: The narrator presents the facts of the extraordinary case of his friend Ernest Valdemar, which have incited public discussion. He is interested in mesmerism, a pseudoscience involving bringing a patient into a hypnagogic state by the influence of magnetism, a process that later developed into hypnotism. He points out that, as far as he knows, no one has ever been mesmerized at the point of death, and he is curious to see what effects mesmerism would have on a dying person. He considers experimenting on Valdemar, an author whom he had previously mesmerized, and who has recently been diagnosed with phthisis (tuberculosis). Valdemar consents to the experiment and informs the narrator by letter that his doctors expect him to die by midnight of the following evening. Valdemar's two physicians inform the narrator of their patient's poor condition. After confirming again that Valdemar is willing to be part of the experiment, the narrator comes back the next night with two nurses and a medical student as witnesses. Again, Valdemar insists he is willing to take part and asks the narrator to hurry, for fear he has "deferred it for too long". Valdemar is quickly mesmerized, just as the two physicians return and serve as additional witnesses. In a trance, he reports first that he is dying -- then that he is dead. The narrator leaves him in a mesmeric state

Valdemar consents to the experiment and informs the narrator by letter that he will probably die in twenty-four hours. Valdemar's two physicians inform the narrator of their patient's poor condition. After confirming again that Valdemar is willing to be part of the experiment, the narrator comes back the next night with two nurses and a medical student as witnesses.

Valdemar is quickly mesmerized, just as the two physicians return and serve as additional witnesses. In a trance, he reports first that he is dying - then that he is dead. The narrator leaves him in a mesmeric state for seven months, checking on him daily. During this time Valdemar is without pulse, heartbeat or perceptible breathing, his skin cold and pale.

A doctor has become fascinated by hypnosis. He was curious to see what would happen to an individual under hypnosis during his dying. Would it stave off death? Would dying make hypnosis impossible? His friend has agreed to be the subject of this experiment. Seven months later, the doctor was called to the dying man's bedside. As the patient's breath and heartbeat were slow, the doctor has successfully hypnotized him. The dying man felt no pain and has responded to questions without rising from his trance. He asked the doctor not to wake him, but let him die without pain. The next day, the patient's eyes have rolled upward, his cheeks have lost their colour, and his mouth has opened. The man had been apparently dead.

The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar tells the tale of a mesmerist who puts a man in a suspended hypnotic state at the moment of death to see if he can communicate with him after he is dead. While a tale of suspense and horror, it was also, at the time of its publication, a bit of a hoax since it was published without claiming to be fictional, and many took it to be a factual. Poe toyed with this for a while before admitting it was a work of pure fiction.

The name Poe brings to mind images of murderers and madmen, premature burials, and mysterious women who return from the dead. His works have been in print since 1827 and include such literary classics as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, and The Fall of the House of Usher. This versatile writer's oeuvre includes short stories, poetry, a novel, a textbook, a book of scientific theory, and hundreds of essays and book reviews. He is widely acknowledged as the inventor of the modern detective story and an innovator in the science fiction genre, but he made his living as America's first great literary critic and theoretician. Poe's reputation today rests primarily on his tales of terror as well as on his haunting lyric poetry.

Nello aristocratico Hôtel de Crillon, in Place de la Concorde, a Parigi, viene ucciso un vecchio tedesco, tale Wolfgang Kieling, che era in un viaggio organizzato dal Dottor Dietrich che dirige la compagnia Viaggiare con Dietrich. Wolfgang Kieling veniva da Norimberga e con lui viaggiavano la figlia, Frau Bleibtreu, e la nipote, Mareike Bleibtreu. Incaricato delle indagini è il brillante Vincent Dujardin, Ispettore capo della Sûreté nationale. I primi indizi che si presentano a Dujardin sono tre. Il primo: il morto stringe in una mano una chiave. Su un lato della chiave vi è un numero 3260 e sullo altro lato la scritta: Dietrich Sicher e Sperren Unternehmen, Harburg, Baviera. Il secondo è un foglietto ritrovato sul letto del morto e su cui vi è scritta una data: 24 maggio 1935. Il terzo indizio scaturisce dall’osservazione di Dujardin. La stanza del morto e lo stesso letto in cui giace il corpo senza vita, sono troppo in ordine per immaginare che il delitto sia stato commesso in quella stanza. Ed allora il primo interrogativo che si pone Dujardin è: dove è stato strangolato Wolfgang Kieling? Quando, a Livorno, Dujardin durante le sue indagini viene ferito dall’assassino, a prendere le redini delle indagini è Ambra Balsamo, nata Dantès, contessa di Hainaut, che in passato è stata fidanzata con il poliziotto francese. Ambra riuscirà non solo a scoprire il colpevole, ma anche qualcosa di più sconvolgente. Un qualcosa di talmente folle ed incredibile che nessuno le crederà. Un romanzo in cui l’aspetto erotico si fonde con quello poliziesco (preponderante) in cui la costruzione della trama e dello svolgimento dell’azione sono impeccabili. Mi sia consentito dirlo: un piccolo capolavoro nel suo genere. E, non esagero, credetemi. Le avventure del Duca Alberto Balsamo e di sua moglie la Duchessa Ambra Balsamo, nata Dantès, contessa di Hainaut, di nazionalità francese, si svolgono nell’Italia fascista in un periodo temporale che va dal 1925 al 1935. Sono avventure a carattere poliziesco e/o avventuroso e si svolgono nella massima parte a Firenze dove i due coniugi abitano nella villa Peregallo, in località Calenzano. Entrambi anticonformisti sono, per l’epoca in cui vivono, un perenne scandalo in quanto praticano il libero amore e lo scambio di coppia, ma, dato che sono ricchissimi, pur criticati ed esecrati, continuano ad essere ammessi nei migliori salotti della società fiorentina. Amanti del piacere, del gioco, del lusso ma soprattutto dell’avventura e dell’imprevisto, sono caratterizzati da un notevole senso di humor, ironia e audacia. Sono entrambi abili trasformisti, capaci di mimetizzarsi e di travestirsi, secondo le occasioni, in altri personaggi che sanno imitare alla perfezione. Sono ambedue pratici in ogni tipo di sport ma gli studi che hanno praticato (lui ha frequentato il Conservatorio Luigi Cherubini di Firenze diventando, poi, un famoso direttore di orchestra; lei ha frequentato Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique di Parigi, diventando, poi, un’attrice celebre) li hanno portati a possedere una grande cultura sia umanistica che scientifica nonché ad essere grandi intenditori d’arte. Hanno girato il mondo e ciò ha consentito loro di imparare e di poter parlare in modo quasi perfetto, oltre che all’italiano, il francese, il tedesco, l’inglese, il russo, l’arabo e il cinese. Non condividono la cultura fascista e sono, anche se non apertamente, avversari del regime che combattono segretamente in ogni luogo e con ogni mezzo.
