HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. Featuring the last 12 stories ever written about the infamous detective, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes contains some of Conan Doyle's most villainous and unusual characters. The 1920s was a disenchanting era, and the darker mood of many of these stories reflects the environment at the time. Some even felt that the stories showed Conan Doyle exploring Spiritualism as it was an area he was interested in at the time and the mental derangement and physical disfigurements that crop up in many of the stories allude to the horrors of the First World War. The collection includes 'The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire', 'The Adventure of the Creeping Man' and 'The Adventure of the Lion's Mane'.

It is more than a century since the ascetic, gaunt and enigmatic detective, Sherlock Holmes, made his first appearance in A Study in Scarlet. From 1891, beginning with The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the now legendary and pioneering Strand Magazine began serialising Arthur Conan Doyle's matchless tales of detection, featuring the incomparable sleuth patiently assisted by his doggedly loyal and lovably pedantic friend and companion, Dr Watson. The stories are illustrated by the remarkable Sydney Paget from whom our images of Sherlock Holmes and his world derive and who first equipped Holmes with his famous deerstalker hat. The literary cult of Sherlock Holmes shows no sign of fading with time as each new generation comes to love and revere the penetrating mind and ruthless logic which were the undoing of so many Victorian master criminals.

«Sherlock Holmes is the greatest fictional detective in the world. The hero of 56 short stories and four novels, he is so convincing that letters still arrive at 221b Baker Street seeking his help, and when it was thought that he had died in his clash with the evil Professor Moriarty ('the Napoleon of Crime') young men in London wore black armbands. This handsome edition, bound in real cloth, with head and tail bands, a ribbon marker, top edge gilt and a gold-blocked jacket, presents all of the short stories, many illustrated by Sidney Paget, who prepared these drawings for the original publication in «The Strand Magazine». It also contains the four novels: «A Study in Scarlet» in which Holmes and Dr Watson first meet, «The Sign of the Four», «The Valley of Fear» and the chilling masterpiece «The Hound of the Baskervilles». This title features Introduction by David Stuart Davies, former editor of «Sherlock Holmes: The Magazine».»

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes
|

|
Автор: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Издательство: Oxford University Press, 2009 |
PDF, 384 страницы, 11.52 МБ

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes are overshadowed by the event with which they close — the meeting of the great detective and Moriarty, the Napoleon of Crime. Their struggle, seemingly to the death, was to leave many readers desolate at the loss of Holmes, but was also to lead to his immortality as a literary figure. However illogical as a detective story, 'The final Problem' has proved itself an unforgettable tale. The stories that precede it included two narratives from Holmes himself, on a mutiny at sea and a treasure hunt in a Sussex country house, as well as a meeting with his brilliant brother Mycroft, of whom Holmes says, 'If the art of the detective began and ended in reasoning from any armchair, my brother would be the greatest criminal agent that ever lived.'

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it After a harrowing tour in Afghanistan, Dr. Watson returns to London to convalesce at 221B Baker Street, home to the enigmatic Sherlock Holmes. Their lives are irrevocably thrown together by news that a man has been found dead in a grimy 'ill-omened' house, with the word rache — German for revenge — written in blood on the wall. This grisly discovery is complicated further by the look of utter horror on the victim's face, and the complete absence of any wounds on the body or sign of a struggle. First published in 1887, A Study in Scarlet is the remarkable first-outing of one of literature's most famous partnerships.

Pocas veces en la historia de la literatura un personaje de ficción alcanza tal celebridad que incluso oscurece la figura de su propio creador, y el caso de Sherlock Holmes es uno de los más representativos. Primera novela del mítico detective, “Estudio en escarlata” gira en torno a un crimen cometido en Londres y cuya trama se relaciona con la secta mormona y su cuna, el estado de Utah. “El valle del terror” suma a las habituales dosis de intriga y aventura ingredientes tan atractivos como la inquietante sombra del principal adversario del detective, el archicriminal Dr. Moriarty, que planea a lo largo de toda la novela.

«Después de la publicación de su primer caso en «Estudio en escarlata», hubo que esperar tres años para que, en 1890, Sherlock Holmes reanudara su actividad resolviendo el misterio que se le planteaba en «El signo de los cuatro». Novela previa aún a la sucesión de relatos que poco más tarde habrían de catapultar a la celebridad al famoso detective y a su creador, Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), su acción gira en torno a los avatares de un fabuloso tesoro en la India colonial, afirmándose en sus páginas los que habrían de ser ya en adelante los sugerentes y pintorescos rasgos de la personalidad del brillante investigador.»

The Penguin English Library edition. As usual with the Sherlock Holmes stories it is very hard to say which are the best — but there are many stories here which would get the vote — ranging from The Boscombe Valley Mystery to the wonderful Adventure of Silver Blaze, from the Adventure of the Norwood Builder to A Case of Identity, but above to the uniquely strange and macabre Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb.
