A case of identity: The adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Arthur Conan Doyle Collection)

Arthur Conan Doyle

The story revolves around the case of Miss Mary Sutherland, a woman with a substantial income from the interest on a fund set up for her. She is engaged to a quiet Londoner who has recently disappeared. Sherlock Holmes's detective powers are barely challenged as this turns out to be quite an elementary case for him, much as it puzzles Watson. The fiance, Mr. Hosmer Angel, is a peculiar character, rather quiet, and rather secretive about his life. Miss Sutherland only knows that he works in an office in Leadenhall Street, but nothing more specific than that. All his letters to her are typewritten, even the signature, and he insists that she write back to him through the local Post Office. The climax of the sad liaison comes when Mr. Angel abandons Miss Sutherland at the altar on their wedding day."

Appunti dall'ignoto

Arthur Conan Doyle

In pochi sanno che Arthur Conan Doyle nei suoi ultimi anni di vita nutrì una vera e propria ossessione per l'occulto. Terrorizzato e affascinato al tempo stesso dal sottile confine che separa il inondo dei vivi da quello dei morti, diede alle stampe, pochi giorni prima di morire, quella che sarebbe poi diventata la sua opera più criptica e controversa: i suoi appunti dall'ignoto. Famoso per non lasciare mai nulla d'inesplorato, in quegli ultimi anni si trovò a fare i conti con il desiderio di indagare lo spiritismo e il paranormale, cercando di dare risposte razionali a domande impossibili. Saggi, appunti e articoli basati su fatti realmente accaduti, che analizzano fenomeni in apparenza incomprensibili e si muovono attraverso dimensioni pericolose, dove tutto è reale o nulla lo è. Tra storie di fantasmi, misteriose apparizioni e casi di cronaca nera risolti con l'aiuto dell'occulto, compaiono per la prima volta sugli scaffali italiani gli appunti che gettano finalmente luce sul lato più oscuro del padre di Sherlock Holmes.

Arthur Conan Doyle

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is one of those authors whose literary creation is much more famous than the man himself.

Avventura nell'Artico. Sei mesi a bordo della baleniera Hope

Arthur Conan Doyle

Nel 1880 il giovane Arthur Conan Doyle, ancora studente universitario, si imbarca quasi per caso come medico di bordo sulla baleniera Hope, diretta al Polo Nord: i lunghi mesi che seguiranno, tra cacce sanguinose, animali feroci, esplorazioni, tempeste e comiche disavventure, cambieranno la sua vita per sempre. Avventura nell’Artico è il diario in cui Conan Doyle racconta le sue esperienze in quelle regioni remote e sconosciute, un personale romanzo di formazione tra i ghiacci del Polo. E quando non bastano le parole, aggiunge minuziose illustrazioni: disegna barche, marinai, balene, orsi polari, panorami e tramonti tracciati a colori nei momenti di tranquillità, cullato dal rollio placido della nave. Di pagina in pagina, il libro rivela una doppia anima: è un diario di viaggio, che ricostruisce la prassi della caccia alle balene, la quotidiana lotta per la sopravvivenza dei marinai e l’interesse crescente per il mito dell’Artico, ancora tutto da conquistare; ma è anche un’opera già dal sapore letterario, fonte d’ispirazione per romanzi e racconti. Un vero e proprio scrigno di immagini e suggestioni, in cui il futuro inventore di Sherlock Holmes custodirà per sempre la dimensione epica della giovinezza e l’archetipo di ogni avventura: «Dietro di noi il riverbero luccicava debolmente sino a svanire e io avevo visto, probabilmente per l’ultima volta, a parte nei miei sogni, l’oceano di Groenlandia»

Baskervillen koira

Arthur Conan Doyle

"Matala, pitka, valittava ääni kiiri yli nummen. Se täytti koko ilman, mutta oli mahdotonta sanoa mistä se tuli. Alussa se oli kuin kumeaa murinaa, mutta se paisui villiksi karjunnaksi; sitten se vaimeni jälleen, ja vähitellen surullinen, väreilevä ulina hiljeni ja sammui." Salapoliisilegenda Sherlock Holmes matkustaa yhdessä kumppaninsa tohti Watsonin kanssa Englannin maaseudulle loputtomien nummien keskelle ratkaisemaan outoja kuolemantapauksia. Tapauksiin näyttää liittyvän salaperäinen ja kammottava peto, koira suoraan tuonpuoleisesta. Baskervillen koira (1901-2) on Sir Arthur Conan Doylen (1859-1930) tunnetuimpia teoksia. Siinä maailman kuuluisin salapoliisi Sherlock Holmes elää parhaita päiviään; älykkyytensä ja kärsivällisen tutkimustyönsä ansiosta hän on aina askeleen edellä vastustajiaan.

Cuentos góticos completos (1880-1922)

Arthur Conan Doyle

Aunque fue sin duda Sherlock Holmes quien le dio su fama y su lugar en la historia de la literatura, Arthur Conan Doyle se sentía un poco molesto por esa identificación tan absoluta con el relato detectivesco: de hecho, él siempre quiso que se le recordara como novelista histórico. Pero fue el género gótico el que quizá ocupó más ampliamente su imaginación. Darryl Jones ha reunido en este volumen sus Cuentos góticos completos, treinta y cuatro piezas que, de 1880 a 1922, revelan la original contribución a ese género que acabó sacando a la luz algunas de las obsesiones y tensiones no resueltas de la cultura victoriana: la posibilidad de que lo familiar se convierta en monstruoso, el temor a una venganza colonial que destruya el Imperio británico, la existencia de espíritus más allá de la muerte que se comunican con los vivos, la duda –en fin− de que el pensamiento científico y racional sobre el que se asiente la sociedad pueda explicarlo todo. O quizá lo siniestro y lo infame formen parte de la misma naturaleza. Con prudencia, casi con la seguridad de que no van a ser creídos, muchos de los narradores de estos cuentos exponen su testimonio de misteriosas desapariciones, malignas influencias hipnóticas, llamadas irresistibles al suicidio y a la muerte, animales grotescos, unicornios furiosos, momias que vuelven a la vida, objetos que conservan escenas truculentas del pasado que ciertos espíritus sensibles pueden reconstruir… Una colección extraordinaria de personajes y tramas de la mano de uno de los escritores más imaginativos de la literatura británica.

Danger! e altre storie

Arthur Conan Doyle

"DANGER! and other stories" è una raccolta di racconti ad opera di Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, pubblicata per la prima volta in Inghilterra nel 1918 dall’editore John Murray. Essa è composta da quattordici short stories di varia natura (dal fantastico all’horror, dal mistero al sovrannaturale, dalla guerra alla vita di tutti i giorni) apparse in anni diversi su differenti periodici e raccolte; il tutto è preceduto dalla Preface, una prefazione che l’autore scrive per introdurre il primo racconto, Danger!, che dà anche il nome all’intera raccolta. Questo testo iniziale ha lo scopo di volgere l’attenzione inglese verso le cause che hanno scatenato il primo grande conflitto mondiale e su come lo stesso governo britannico avrebbe potuto agire meglio in merito, se avesse dato ascolto a coloro che a gran voce cercavano di metterlo in guardia dall’enorme pericolo proveniente dall’esterno, con Doyle in prima linea.

Die Abenteuer des Sherlock Holmes (German Edition)

Arthur Conan Doyle

Sherlock Holmes ist eine vom britischen Schriftsteller Sir Arthur Conan Doyle geschaffene Kunstfigur, die in seinen im späten 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert spielenden Romanen als Detektiv tätig ist. Besondere Bedeutung für die Kriminalliteratur erlangten Doyles Werke durch die beschriebene forensische Arbeitsmethode, die auf detailgenauer Beobachtung und nüchterner Schlussfolgerung beruht. Holmes gilt bis heute weithin als Symbol des erfolgreichen, analytisch-rationalen Denkers und als Stereotyp des Privatdetektivs. Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) war ein britischer Arzt und Schriftsteller. Inhalt: • Skandalgeschichte im Fürstentum O… • Der Bund der Rothaarigen • Ein Fall geschickter Täuschung • Der Mord im Tale von Bascombe • Fünf Apfelsinenkerne • Der Mann mit der Schramme • Der Daumen des Ingenieurs • Die Geschichte des blauen Karfunkels • Die verschwundene Braut • Die Geschichte des Beryll-Kopfschmuckes • Das Landhaus in Hamshire

Die Abenteuer von Sherlock Holmes / Die Memoiren von Sherlock Holmes

Arthur Conan Doyle

From “A Scandal in Bohemia,” in which Sherlock Holmes is famously outwitted by a woman, the captivating Irene Adler, to “The Five Orange Pips,” in which the master detective is pitted against the Ku Klux Klan, to “The Final Problem,” in which Holmes and his archenemy, Professor Moriarty, face each other in a showdown at the Reichenbach Falls, the stories that appear in The Adventures and Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes bear witness to the flowering of author Arthur Conan Doyle’s genius. “The plain fact,” the celebrated mystery writer Vincent Starrett asserted, “is that Sherlock Holmes is still a more commanding figure in the world than most of the warriors and statesmen in whose present existence we are invited to believe.”

El gos dels Baskerville

Arthur Conan Doyle

El gos dels Baskerville és la quarta i última novel·la, i també la història més coherent, de Sherlock Holmes. Es tracta d'un cas gens difícil de resoldre, en el qual es revela la identitat de l'assassí un cop recorreguts uns dos terços de l'obra. En ella es fa palesa la grapa de Sir Arthur Conan Doyle per fer sentir tot el terror i la solitud dels erms de Devon, revelats a través dels controbats sentiments del metge abstemi. A partir d’aquesta novel·la, Conan Doyle ja no escriuria més contes o narracions breus, però la parella formada per Holmes i el seu amic el doctor Watson encara perviuran en la seva literatura, fins i tot un sic a contracor del propi autor, que es veurà impel·lit a fer-los protagonistes de múltiples misteris i aventures.

El signo de los cuatro (Sherlock Holmes, #2)

Arthur Conan Doyle

Sherlock Holmes alarga la mano para agarrar el frasco de cocaína mientras su leal compañero, el doctor Watson, lo mira con reprobación. Así arranca El signo de los cuatro, la segunda novela escrita por Arthur Conan Doyle protagonizada por su personaje más famoso.A lo largo de sus páginas nos enfrentamos a un misterio que sólo Sherlock Holmes puede desentrañar y que está a punto de derrotarle, un misterio que obligará al detective y a su fiel compañero a recorrer todo Londres (sus calles y plazas, sus puentes y embarcaderos, las mansiones de clase alta y los barrios bajos) mientras siguen las huellas del tesoro de Agra. La caza culminará en una persecución frenética por el Támesis en la que el premio puede ser tanto el tesoro como la muerte.El signo de los cuatro es una de las obras capitales de la novela popular del siglo XIX, imprescindible no sólo para comprender el nacimiento y desarrollo de la literatura de misterio, sino para desentrañar las claves de uno de los principales iconos de la cultura popular.

Gothic Tales

Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle was the greatest genre writer Britain has ever produced. Throughout a long writing career, he drew on his own medical background, his travels, and his increasing interest in spiritualism and the occult to produce a spectacular array of Gothic stories. Many of Doyle's writings are recognized as the very greatest tales of terror. They range from hauntings in the polar wasteland to evil surgeons and malevolent jungle landscapes.This collection brings together over thirty of Conan Doyle's best "Gothic Tales," in a scholarly edition for the first time. Darryl Jones's introduction discusses the contradictions in Conan Doyle's very public life - as a medical doctor who became obsessed with the spirit world, or a British imperialist drawn to support Irish Home Rule - and shows the ways in which these found articulation in that most anxious of all literary forms, the Gothic.

Nessas histórias, que vão do horror nas alturas a um trem misteriosamente desaparecido, passando por técnicas de tortura com água do século 17 e um gato brasileiro sedento de sangue, o autor mostra que também brilha fora do gênero que o consagrou e que é capaz de ir muito além de Sherlock Holmes, trocando influências com outros grandes nomes, como Edgar Allan Poe e H.P. Lovecraft.Embarque na leitura dessas ecléticas e cativantes peças, há muito tempo escondidas e permeadas pelo desconforto reprimido, que unem o estilo elegante e preciso de Doyle a seu melhor momento criativo.

Il vampiro del Sussex e altre storie soprannaturali

Arthur Conan Doyle

Come Mary Shelley o Bram Stoker, anche Arthur Conan Doyle sembra condannato a vivere all'ombra del suo personaggio. "Sono stanco di sentirmi definire come l'autore di Sherlock Holmes" si lamentava il 22 maggio 1930. "Sembra che non abbia scritto altro che polizieschi." La sua non è certo una protesta infondata. Oltre che il creatore del detective più famoso del mondo, infatti, il medico e spiritista Conan Doyle fu un eccellente narratore di storie dell'orrore, ispirate esplicitamente all'opera di Edgar Allan Poe, e pubblicò diverse storie di vampiri prima che il Dracula dell'amico Stoker fissasse le regole del genere. Nove di queste sono raccolte nel presente volume, un'antologia per il pubblico italiano, che dimostra come, se non avesse mai creato Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle verrebbe ricordato come autore ili memorabili racconti soprannaturali.

L'Avventura della casa vuota: Edizione integrale Con testo originale a fronte

Arthur Conan Doyle

Il racconto "L'Avventura della Casa Vuota", del 1903, vede il "ritorno in vita" dell'investigatore più amato di tutti i tempi.Questo racconto, che è la naturale continuazione del racconto "Il problema finale", scritto quasi 10 anni prima, fa risorgere Sherlock Holmes, fatto morire dall'autore nel tentativo di liberarsi della ingombrante presenza del suo personaggio da parte dell'eclettico Arthur Conan Doyle. L'episodio, nato per la forte pressione dei lettori - che noi lettori moderni non possiamo che ringraziare - risponde più che egreggiamente all'esigenza di continuare a divertirsi leggendo le sue affascinanti vicende. "L'Avventura della Casa Vuota" è, inoltre, il secondo ed ultimo racconto in cui si menziona del geniale professor Moriarty, l'unico in possesso di un'intelligenza (per stessa ammissione di Holmes) paragonabile a quella di Sherlock Holmes, chiudendo un piccolo ciclo che potremmo chiamare "Il ciclo di Moriarty".

Memorias y aventuras

Arthur Conan Doyle

«Creo que es difícil encontrar una vida más variada que la mía en cuanto a experiencias y aventuras. He conocido la pobreza y cierta prosperidad económica. He departido con muchos de los hombres más notables de mi tiempo. He disfrutado de una larga carrera literaria, tras una formación médica coronada con el doctorado en Edimburgo. He practicado muchos deportes, entre ellos el boxeo, el críquet, el billar, el automovilismo, el fútbol, la aeronáutica y el esquí, y he sido el primero en introducir este último en Suiza para desplazamientos largos. He ejercido de médico en un ballenero durante siete meses en el océano Ártico, y después en un barco comercial por la costa de África Occidental. He participado en tres guerras: la de Sudán, la de Suráfrica y la guerra con Alemania. Mi vida ha estado pespunteada de aventuras de toda suerte. Finalmente, me he visto obligado a dedicar mis últimos años a contar al mundo el resultado de treinta y seis años de estudio del ocultismo, a fin de hacerle ver la trascendental importancia de esta cuestión. Con esta misión he recorrido más de cincuenta mil millas y pronunciado conferencias ante más de trescientas mil personas, además de escribir siete libros sobre el tema. Tal es la vida que cuento detalladamente en mis Memorias y aventuras.» Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Sherlock Holmes: Estudio en escarlata

Arthur Conan Doyle

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's first novel—and the origin story of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson—is reimagined in the first unabridged, fully illustrated version since its debut, by acclaimed and bestselling illustrator Gris Grimly. The year is 1881. The city, London. A man lies dead in an empty house, not a mark upon him, and no clues—save for the word "RACHE" scrawled in blood on the wall above. Elsewhere, two men—a former army doctor called John Watson and a brilliant eccentric called Sherlock Holmes—meet for the first time. These two events set in motion an adventure into the darkest corners of men's hearts as the cold, calculating investigative methods of Mr. Holmes are put to the test in a case that spans decades and continents, rife with danger and intrigue. Originally published in 1887, A Study in Scarlet was the first novel to feature a character whose name would become synonymous with the art of deduction. Today it is completely reimagined with artwork by the modern master of gothic romanticism, Gris Grimly, bringing this thrilling tale of love and revenge to a new generation of readers.

Sherlock Holmes: Misteri Klien yang Masyhur, Misteri Perajurit Berwajah Pucat, Misteri Batu Mazarin & Misteri di Rumah The Three Gables

Arthur Conan Doyle

Misteri Klien yang Masyhur Violet de Merville akan mengahwini Baron Adelbert Gruner, seorang penjenayah Austria yang diketahui telah membunuh ramai orang termasuk isterinya, dan ini merunsingkan ayahnya, Jeneral de Merville. Pelbagai usaha dilakukan untuk memujuk gadis itu, namun gadis itu menganggap semua cerita buruk tentang Baron itu adalah fitnah semata-mata. Seorang klien misteri yang juga risaukan Violet telah meminta Sir James menemui Sherlock Holmes dan Dr. Watson untuk meminta bantuan. Ini adalah kes yang membuatkan Sherlock Holmes seperti tidak berdaya kerana kekuatan logik dan kehebatan mindanya tidak berguna untuk memujuk seorang gadis! Misteri Perajurit Berwajah Pucat Kali ini Sherlock Holmes menulis sendiri kisah penyiasatannya setelah selalu mengkritik gaya penulisan Dr. Watson. Pada Januari 1903, James M. Dodd datang menemuinya untuk meminta bantuan selepas melalui pengalaman yang membingungkan. James mempunyai seorang sahabat baik semasa berkhidmat dalam tentera, bernama Godfrey Emsworth yang telah lama menyepi. Ayah Godfrey telah membalas surat James dan menyatakan Godfrey sedang belayar mengelilingi dunia. Bagaimanapun, James merasakan ada yang tidak kena, lalu dia ke rumah keluarga Godfrey untuk mendapatkan jawapan. Ayah Godfrey melayan James dengan dingin, dan James dapat merasakan seisi rumah itu telah menipunya. Pada malam itu, James tiba-tiba terlihat wajah Godfrey pada tingkap biliknya. Apa yang menakutkannya, wajah Godfrey kelihatan lebih pucat daripada mayat! Apakah yang dilihatnya itu benar-benar Godfrey atau hantunya? Akhirnya Holmes sedar, menulis bukannya mudah. Misteri Batu Mazarin Semasa Dr. Watson tiba di 221B Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes sedang tidur kerana kepenatan menyiasat kes kehilangan batu permata bernilai £100,000. Pembantu rumahnya, Billy menunjukkan sesuatu di tingkap yang membuatkan Watson terkejut, iaitu sebuah patung lilin menyerupai sahabatnya itu. Ini mengingatkan Watson kepada kes Perangkap Rumah Kosong, di mana Holmes menggunakan patung seperti itu untuk mengumpan penembak tepat yang memburunya. Apabila Holmes bangun, dia menceritakan bahawa dia diburu oleh seorang penembak bernama Count Negretto Sylvius, yang juga merupakan pencuri batu permata itu. Kes ini mungkin hampir sama dengan Perangkap Rumah Kosong, namun kali ini permainannya berbeza! Misteri di Rumah The Three Gables Puan Mary Maberley hairan kerana rumah lama yang didudukinya sejak dua tahun lalu tiba-tiba menarik perhatian seorang pembeli misteri yang sudi membayarnya dengan harga yang tinggi. Tambah membingungkan, pembelian itu termasuk semua perabot dan segala apa yang berada di dalam rumah itu, termasuk barang-barang peribadi Puan Maberley! Kerana berasa terlalu pelik, Puan Baberley membatalkan urusan jual beli tersebut. Sherlock Holmes yakin ada sesuatu di dalam rumah The Three Gables yang dimahukan pembeli itu, dan kemungkinan ia ada kaitan dengan perubahan sikap anak Puan Maberley sebelum dia meninggal semasa dalam urusan diplomatik di Rom. Keempat-empat kisah ini telah dimuatkan dalam jilid The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes yang pertama kali diterbitkan pada tahun 1927.

Pengasuh anak-anaknya, Grace Dunbar pula telah ditahan kerana membunuh. Grace mengaku bertemu dengan majikannya di atas jambatan itu sebelum kematiannya, tetapi tidak mengaku membunuhnya. Bagaimanapun, polis menemui senjata membunuh di dalam almari pakaian pengasuh itu. Senator J. Neil Gibson, pemilik estet itu percaya pengasuh itu telah difitnah. Holmes menyiasat tempat kejadian dan mendapati ada yang tidak kena pada lokasi pembunuhan itu. Holmes yakin, serpihan batu daripada jambatan itu adalah kunci untuk menyelesaikan misteri siapa pembunuh Maria Gibson, manakala Dr. Watson pula mengesyaki senator itu sendiri yang membunuh isterinya kerana dia mempunyai motif. Misteri Lelaki Merangkak Profesor Presbury, berumur 61 tahun mula berkelakuan aneh selepas bertunang dengan seorang wanita muda. Keadaannya ini menimbulkan kerisauan Trevor Bennett, iaitu setiausahanya. Mulanya profesor itu keluar rumah selama dua minggu. Selepas pulang, personaliti profesor itu berubah menjadi bengis dan suka menyendiri. Anjing kesayangannya pun seperti tidak mengenalinya lagi apabila ia bertindak agresif dan mahu menyerangnya. Namun yang paling menakutkan, Trevor melihat profesor itu berjalan dengan cara merangkak dan keluar rumah pada tengah malam. Apakah yang sebenarnya terjadi kepada profesor itu?

Sherlock Holmes: Novelas

Arthur Conan Doyle

Los mejores libros jamás escritos El presente volumen recoge las cuatro novelas protagonizadas por Sherlock Holmes, el emblemático y perspicaz detective del 221 B de Baker Street: Estudio en escarlata (1887), El signo de los cuatro (1890), El perro de los Baskerville (1902) y El valle del miedo (1915). A lo largo de estas páginas, y con la ayuda inestimable del doctor Watson, Holmes recorrerá las calles de un Londres victoriano convertido en un laberinto de pistas falsas, resolverá una intriga originada en la India colonial, desentrañará el misterio oculto tras una antigua maldición familiar en los páramos de Dartmoor y se enfrentará a la organización de Moriarty en uno de sus casos más complejos. Una mezcla explosiva de crimen, suspense y venganza. Esta edición, que se abre con un estudio introductorio de Andreu Jaume, pretende homenajear el empeño editorial de Esther Tusquets, cuyo proyecto de publicar el canon holmesiano quedó interrumpido. Juan Camargo, experto en novela de masas europea y americana, ha completado la labor traductora. «No existe ni ha existido hombre alguno que aportara al descubrimiento del crimen tantos estudios y tanto talento natural como yo.»

Sherlock Holmes obras completas (1887-1892) : Estudio en escarlata, El signo de los cuatro, Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes

Arthur Conan Doyle

Esta edición de las Obras Completas de Sherlock Holmes consta de cuatro volúmenes, este primer volumen contiene las siguientes obras que fueron publicadas en formato libro entre los años 1887-1892: Estudio en escarlata, El signo de los cuatroy Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes. Hay escritores que llegan a ser anulados por sus propios personajes hasta el punto de que todo el mundo llega a saber quién es tal personaje y sus aventuras, pero ignora el nombre completo (e incluso, en algunos casos, desconoce quién es el creador del personaje). Sherlock Holmes adquirió tanta popularidad que llegó a convertirse en un mito literario, un personaje de ficción que oscureció a su propio creador. Conan Doyle se convirtió así para muchos lectores en una especie de anotador de las historias que el médico Watson escribía sobre los extraordinarios casos que Sherlock Holmes resolvía; un Sherlock Holmes cada vez más real y, seguramente, personaje verídico para algunos lectores. Un Sherlock Holmes que ha originado gran cantidad de estudios críticos, como personaje literario, y es probablemente uno de los personajes de ficción que más estudios ha merecido.

He is arguably the most famous fictional detective ever created, and is one of the best known and most universally recognizable literary characters in any genre.Conan Doyle wrote four novels and fifty-six short stories that featured Holmes. All but four stories were narrated by Holmes' friend and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson, two having been narrated by Holmes himself, and two others written in the third person. The first two stories, short novels, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual for 1887 and Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in 1890. The character grew tremendously in popularity with the beginning of the first series of short stories in The Strand Magazine in 1891; further series of short stories and two serialized novels appeared almost right up to Conan Doyle's death in 1930. The stories cover a period from around 1878 up to 1903, with a final case in 1914.This collection contains all the 60 official and the 6 unofficial Sherlock Holmes stories - in total 66 works (the biggest and greatest Sherlock Holmes collection in the eBook world).

Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Novels and Stories: Volumes I and II

Arthur Conan Doyle

Since his first appearance in Beeton’s Christmas Annual in 1887, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes has been one of the most beloved fictional characters ever created. Now, in one eBook, Bantam Classics presents all fifty-six short stories and four novels featuring Conan Doyle’s classic hero—a truly complete collection of Sherlock Holmes’s adventures in crime! Volume I includes the early novel A Study in Scarlet, which introduced the eccentric genius of Sherlock Holmes to the world. This baffling murder mystery, with the cryptic word Rache written in blood, first brought Holmes together with Dr. John Watson. Next, The Sign of Four presents Holmes’s famous “seven percent solution” and the strange puzzle of Mary Morstan in the quintessential locked-room mystery. Also included are Holmes’s feats of extraordinary deception in such famous cases as the chilling “The Adventure of the Speckled Band,” the baffling riddle of “The Musgrave Ritual,” and the ingeniously plotted “The Five Orange Pips.” Volume II begins with The Hound of Baskervilles, a haunting novel of murder on eerie Grimpen Moor, which has rightly earned its reputation as the finest murder mystery ever written. The Valley of Fear matches Holmes against his archenemy, the master of imaginative crime, Professor Moriarty. In addition, the loyal Dr. Watson has faithfully recorded Holmes’s feats of extraordinary detection in such famous cases as the thrilling “The Adventure of the Red Circle,” Holmes’s tragic and fortunately premature farewell in “The Final Problem,” and the twelve baffling adventures from The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes. Conan Doyle’s incomparable tales bring to life a Victorian England of horse-drawn cabs, fogs, and the famous lodgings at 221 B Baker Street, where for more than forty years Sherlock Holmes earned his undisputed reputation as the greatest fictional detective of all time.

Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Stories

Arthur Conan Doyle

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: The Complete works

Arthur Conan Doyle

Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, who first appeared in publication in 1887. He is the creation of Scottish born author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A brilliant London-based detective, Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess, and is renowned for his skillful use of deductive reasoning (somewhat mistakenly - see inductive reasoning) and astute observation to solve difficult cases. He is arguably the most famous fictional detective ever created, and is one of the best known and most universally recognizable literary characters in any genre. Conan Doyle wrote four novels and fifty-six short stories that featured Holmes. All but four stories were narrated by Holmes' friend and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson, two having been narrated by Holmes himself, and two others written in the third person. The first two stories, short novels, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual for 1887 and Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in 1890. The character grew tremendously in popularity with the beginning of the first series of short stories in The Strand Magazine in 1891; further series of short stories and two serialized novels appeared almost right up to Conan Doyle's death in 1930. The stories cover a period from around 1878 up to 1903, with a final case in 1914. This collection contains all the 60 official and the 6 unofficial Sherlock Holmes stories - in total 66 works (the biggest and greatest Sherlock Holmes collection in the eBook world).

But although the very first one was launched in serial published form just like his masked and body-suited successors, it was not in DC or Marvel comic books that he made his appearance; rather it was in the sedate and respectable pages of Mrs Beeton's Christmas Annual in the mid-Victorian year 1887."

Sherlock Holmes: The Novels

Arthur Conan Doyle

All four of Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary Sherlock Holmes novels, collected in a unique Graphic Deluxe edition with an introduction by Michael Dirda In 1886, an unsuccessful ophthalmologist on the southern coast of England decided to try his hand at writing a detective story. Unlike his historical romances, which required the utmost care, this could be dashed off quickly. The first draft, featuring a Mr. Sherrinford Holmes, was a bit rough around the edges, but with a little revision, something astonishing emerged: Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, and A Study in Scarlet. As if with no warning, they sprung forth from their creator's head, fully-formed in a new style so well-defined it felt immediately like an established genre. Their partnership cemented within pages of the book's opening-the sum of their parts accomplishing far more than they could apart. Sporting his signature billowing coat and pipe in hand, the genius investigator Holmes captivated readers with his alluring melancholy and superhuman intuition, while Watson remained ever the perfect foil, a classic Victorian gentleman with brilliant intellect. Collected here are all four Holmes novels-A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and The Valley of Fear-tracing the origins of the pair up through their greatest showdowns with arch-enemy Professor Moriarty. Set in the seductive shadow-world of Victorian London, they are at once an indelible portrait of their time and immortal stories unmarred by passing time. Though endlessly reinterpreted, reinvented and imitated, they have never been surpassed: the stories of Holmes and Watson lives on as immediate and original in our time as in their own.

Tanulmány vérvörösben

Arthur Conan Doyle

„– Azonban, kedves Watson, ön nyilván nem ismeri még Sherlock Holmest. Talán ha ismerné, nem vágyna vele egy fedél alá.” Doktor Watson, a katonaorvos egy háborús baleset és egy betegség után Londonba költözik. Egy ismerőse bemutatja Sherlock Holmesnak, aki éppen lakótársat keres Baker Street 221/B alatti otthonába. Watson doktor hamarosan megtudja, hogy a furcsa figura magándetektívként keresi a kenyerét. Rögtön egy ügy közepébe csöppennek: a rendőrség egy ismeretlen férfi holttestére bukkan egy lakatlan házban, egy bíborvörös szobában. Gyilkos fegyver sehol, nincs külső sérülés, és a falra a titokzatos „rache” szót vésték fel... Segítséget kérnek Holmestól, akiről az a hír járja, hogy nincs olyan ügy, amit ne tudna megoldani.

The Adventure of Black Peter - a Sherlock Holmes Short Story (The Return of Sherlock Holmes, #6)

Arthur Conan Doyle

How about this for an opening? Dr. Watson narrates: "I have never known my friend to be in better form, both mental and physical, than in the year '95. His increasing fame had brought with it an immense practice, and I should be guilty of an indiscretion if I were even to hint at the identity of some of the illustrious clients who crossed our humble threshold in Baker Street. Holmes, however, like all great artists, lived for his art's sake, and, save in the case of the Duke of Holdernesse, I have seldom known him claim any large reward for his inestimable services. So unworldly was he-or so capricious-that he frequently refused his help to the powerful and wealthy where the problem made no appeal to his sympathies, while he would devote weeks of most intense application to the affairs of some humble client whose case presented those strange and dramatic qualities which appealed to his imagination and challenged his ingenuity." And then Watson comes to the "very obscure circumstances which surrounded the death of Captain Peter Carey" - a man who abused and terrified his wife and family, and a man well deserving of the nickname, 'Black Peter.'

The Adventure of the Cardboard Box - a Sherlock Holmes Short Story

Arthur Conan Doyle

It's all about a cardboard box. Or rather, what was in the cardboard box mailed anonymously from Belfast to Miss Susan Cushing, a fifty-year-old "maiden lady" of Cross Street, Croydon. It was filled, almost to the brim, with course salt. The rest of the box was taken up by two, recently-severed, human ears from, obvious after a quick glance, two different people. Inspector Lestrade attended and soon wrote Sherlock Holmes that, "I think this case is very much in your line." Holme's response? "Ring for our boots [Watson] and tell them to order a cab."

The Adventure of the Dancing Men

Arthur Conan Doyle

The Adventure of the Dancing Men Holmes had been seated for some hours in silence with his long, thin back curved over a chemical vessel in which he was brewing a particularly malodorous product. His head was sunk upon his breast, and he looked from my point of view like a strange, lank bird, with dull gray plumage and a black top-knot. "So, Watson," said he, suddenly, "you do not propose to invest in South African securities?" I gave a start of astonishment. Accustomed as I was to Holmes's curious faculties, this sudden intrusion into my most intimate thoughts was utterly inexplicable.

This is not the first time that death and Sherlock Holmes have come close. Do you recall 'The Final Problem' and the story of Reichenbach Falls? In 'The Adventure of the Dying Detective' our favourite genius has caught some strange and deadly disease among the sailors and the filth of the London docks. Holmes' mind may have been affected and he spews insults at Dr. Watson the like of which his readers have never heard before. But there's one glimmer - can Watson locate Mr. Culverton Smith, the world's leading expert on the disease who is presently in London?

The Adventure of the Empty House

Arthur Conan Doyle

I moved my head to look at the cabinet behind me. When I turned again, Sherlock Holmes was standing smiling at me across my study table. I rose to my feet, stared at him for some seconds in utter amazement, and then it appears that I must have fainted for the first and the last time in my life. Certainly a gray mist swirled before my eyes, and when it cleared I found my collar-ends undone and the tingling after-taste of brandy upon my lips. Holmes was bending over my chair, his flask in his hand. "My dear Watson," said the well-remembered voice, "I owe you a thousand apologies. I had no idea that you would be so affected."

The Adventure of the Empty House - a Sherlock Holmes Short Story (The Return of Sherlock Holmes, #1)

Arthur Conan Doyle

Dr. Watson faints for the first and last time in his life when the believed-to-be-dead Sherlock Holmes reappears three years after his apparent death. Readers will recall 'The Final Problem,' which is the last short story in 'The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.' And the fatal incident at Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland. Watson was there. So imagine his surprise when an old man he bumped into on the street, a collector of books, turned out to be his old friend. Watson had taken an interest in the strange case of a young aristocrat found shot to death in a locked room on Park Lane. But the criminal investigation, although of huge interest to the public, was not progressing. Then Holmes returned.

The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb

Arthur Conan Doyle

Of all the problems which have been submitted to my friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, for solution during the years of our intimacy, there were only two which I was the means of introducing to his notice-that of Mr. Hatherley's thumb, and that of Colonel Warburton's madness. Of these the latter may have afforded a finer field for an acute and original observer, but the other was so strange in its inception and so dramatic in its details that it may be the more worthy of being placed upon record, even if it gave my friend fewer openings for those deductive methods of reasoning by which he achieved such remarkable results. The story has, I believe, been told more than once in the newspapers, but, like all such narratives, its effect is much less striking when set forth en bloc in a single half-column of print than when the facts slowly evolve before your own eyes, and the mystery clears gradually away as each new discovery furnishes a step which leads on to the complete truth. At the time the circumstances made a deep impression upon me, and the lapse of two years has hardly served to weaken the effect. It was in the summer of '89, not long after my marriage, that the events occurred which I am now about to summarise. I had returned to civil practice and had finally abandoned Holmes in his Baker Street rooms, although I continually visited him and occasionally even persuaded him to forgo his Bohemian habits so far as to come and visit us. My practice had steadily increased, and as I happened to live at no very great distance from Paddington Station, I got a few patients from among the officials. One of these, whom I had cured of a painful and lingering disease, was never weary of advertising my virtues and of endeavouring to send me on every sufferer over whom he might have any influence. One morning, at a little before seven o'clock, I was awakened by the maid tapping at the door to announce that two men had come from Paddington and were waiting in the consulting-room. I dressed hurriedly, for I knew by experience that railway cases were seldom trivial, and hastened downstairs. As I descended, my old ally, the guard, came out of the room and closed the door tightly behind him.

The Adventure of the Gloria Scott (Annotated) - a Sherlock Holmes short story

Arthur Conan Doyle

"The Adventure of the 'Gloria Scott'” is a detective short story written by Arthur Conan Doyle (1865-1930). First published in 1893, it tells one of the best-known and most intriguing adventures of Sherlock Holmes. It is also one of the earliest tales in the life of Holmes. The case relates to his friend, Victor Trevor. "He was the only friend I made during the two years I was at college." Victor had invited Sherlock to his family home in Norfolk for the college holidays, and it was there that our soon-to-be detective heard the tragic story of the sailing ship, a freight-carrying barque, the "Gloria Scott." This edition also contains a choice of Conan Doyle’s best aphorisms and an essay on the invention of the Sherlock Holmes’ character written by Harold Emery Jones (1875-1909) in 1904.

The Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez

Arthur Conan Doyle

When I look at the three massive manuscript volumes which contain our work for the year 1894 I confess that it is very difficult for me, out of such a wealth of material, to select the cases which are most interesting in themselves and at the same time most conducive to a display of those peculiar powers for which my friend was famous. As I turn over the pages I see my notes upon the repulsive story of the red leech and the terrible death of Crosby the banker. Here also I find an account of the Addleton tragedy and the singular contents of the ancient British barrow. The famous Smith-Mortimer succession case comes also within this period, and so does the tracking and arrest of Huret, the Boulevard assassin—an exploit which won for Holmes an autograph letter of thanks from the French President and the Order of the Legion of Honour. Each of these would furnish a narrative, but on the whole I am of opinion that none of them unite so many singular points of interest as the episode of Yoxley Old Place, which includes not only the lamentable death of young Willoughby Smith, but also those subsequent developments which threw so curious a light upon the causes of the crime. It was a wild, tempestuous night towards the close of November. Holmes and I sat together in silence all the evening, he engaged with a powerful lens deciphering the remains of the original inscription upon a palimpsest, I deep in a recent treatise upon surgery. Outside the wind howled down Baker Street, while the rain beat fiercely against the windows. It was strange there in the very depths of the town, with ten miles of man’s handiwork on every side of us, to feel the iron grip of Nature, and to be conscious that to the huge elemental forces all London was no more than the molehills that dot the fields. I walked to the window and looked out on the deserted street. The occasional lamps gleamed on the expanse of muddy road and shining pavement. A single cab was splashing its way from the Oxford Street end. “Well, Watson, it’s as well we have not to turn out to-night,” said Holmes, laying aside his lens and rolling up the palimpsest. “I’ve done enough for one sitting. It is trying work for the eyes. So far as I can make out it is nothing more exciting than an Abbey’s accounts dating from the second half of the fifteenth century. Halloa! halloa! halloa! What’s this?” Amid the droning of the wind there had come the stamping of a horse’s hoofs and the long grind of a wheel as it rasped against the kerb. The cab which I had seen had pulled up at our door

Il racconto surreale di un interprete greco li mette sulla buona strada. Si troveranno alle prese con la crudeltà di infidi figuri senza morale e senza pietà che non si fermano davanti a nulla. Ha le tinte cupe e i risvolti inquietanti di un horror l’audioBook di quest’insolita indagine di Sherlock Holmes ed è valorizzato dalla sceneggiatura, dall’interpretazione di diversi attori e dal sound design. L’esperienza d’ascolto è cinematografica.

The Adventure of the Missing Three-Quarter (The Return of Sherlock Holmes, #11)

Arthur Conan Doyle

The Adventure of the Missing Three Quarter We were fairly accustomed to receive weird telegrams at Baker Street, but I have a particular recollection of one which reached us on a gloomy February morning, some seven or eight years ago, and gave Mr. Sherlock Holmes a puzzled quarter of an hour. It was addressed to him, and ran thus: Please await me. Terrible misfortune. Right wing three-quarter missing, indispensable to-morrow. OVERTON.

Arthur Conan Doyle

'For me, Watson, life is not so interesting,' says Holmes. 'I loved to read the newspaper, hoping to find some news of an interesting crime for me to investigate or a dangerous criminal for me to catch. Where are all those clever criminals these days?' Then, suddenly, a wild, excited young man, a Mr. John Hector McFarland, runs up the stairs to Holmes' room. He has a story to tell about a fire and strange crime that took place in Norwood. But who is the criminal? Is it this man? Is he dangerous? Life, for Holmes, suddenly starts to get interesting. But when Holmes and Watson rush off, it's to Blackheath, not Norwood.

The Adventure of the Priory School - a Sherlock Holmes Short Story

Arthur Conan Doyle

'Priory School' opens in a most exciting fashion! The story opens, in the words of Dr. Watson, with "We have had some dramatic entrances and exits upon our small stage at Baker Street, but I cannot recollect anything more sudden and startling than the first appearance of Thorneycroft Huxtable, M.A., Ph.D., etc. His card, which seemed too small to carry the weight of his academic distinctions, preceded him by a few seconds, and then he entered himself—so large, so pompous, and so dignified that he was the very embodiment of self-possession and solidity. And yet his first action when the door had closed behind him was to stagger against the table, whence he slipped down upon the floor, and there was that majestic figure prostrate and insensible upon our bearskin hearthrug." A young student at Huxtable's school has disappeared, the son of a former Cabinet Minister. Once recovered from his fainting spell, Huxtable implores Holmes to come back with him to Mackleton in the north of England to get to the bottom of this terrible occurrence.

The Adventure of the Second Stain

Arthur Conan Doyle

The Adventure of the Second Stain I had intended "The Adventure of the Abbey Grange" to be the last of those exploits of my friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, which I should ever communicate to the public. This resolution of mine was not due to any lack of material, since I have notes of many hundreds of cases to which I have never alluded, nor was it caused by any waning interest on the part of my readers in the singular personality and unique methods of this remarkable man. The real reason lay in the reluctance which Mr. Holmes has shown to the continued publication of his experiences. So long as he was in actual professional practice the records of his successes were of some practical value to him, but since he has definitely retired from London and betaken himself to study and bee-farming on the Sussex Downs, notoriety has become hateful to him, and he has peremptorily requested that his wishes in this matter should be strictly observed. It was only upon my representing to him that I had given a promise that "The Adventure of the Second Stain" should be published when the times were ripe, and pointing out to him that it is only appropriate that this long series of episodes should culminate in the most important international case which he has ever been called upon to handle, that I at last succeeded in obtaining his consent that a carefully guarded account of the incident should at last be laid before the public. If in telling the story I seem to be somewhat vague in certain details, the public will readily understand that there is an excellent reason for my reticence.

The Adventure Of The Three Students (The Return of Sherlock Holmes, #9)

Arthur Conan Doyle

One of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's world-renowned literary masterpieces featuring Sherlock Holmes. An excerpt: "It was in the year '95 that a combination of events, into which I need not enter, caused Mr. Sherlock Holmes and myself to spend some weeks in one of our great university towns, and it was during this time that the small but instructive adventure which I am about to relate befell us." There's an emergency at the College of St. Luke's, and an acquaintance of Dr. Watson asks if Holmes could look into it immediately. Tomorrow's Greek translation exam may have been copied. The tutor is in a "state of uncontrollable agitation" and Holmes reluctantly agrees.

The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger

Arthur Conan Doyle

When one considers that Mr. Sherlock Holmes was in active practice for twenty-three years, and that during seventeen of these I was allowed to cooperate with him and to keep notes of his doings, it will be clear that I have a mass of material at my command. The problem has always been not to find but to choose. There is the long row of year-books which fill a shelf and there are the dispatch-cases filled with documents, a perfect quarry for the student not only of crime but of the social and official scandals of the late Victorian era. Concerning these latter, I may say that the writers of agonized letters, who beg that the honour of their families or the reputation of famous forebears may not be touched, have nothing to fear. The discretion and high sense of professional honour which have always distinguished my friend are still at work in the choice of these memoirs, and no confidence will be abused. I deprecate, however, in the strongest way the attempts which have been made lately to get at and to destroy these papers. The source of these outrages is known, and if they are repeated I have Mr. Holmes’s authority for saying that the whole story concerning the politician, the lighthouse, and the trained cormorant will be given to the public. There is at least one reader who will understand. It is not reasonable to suppose that every one of these cases gave Holmes the opportunity of showing those curious gifts of instinct and observation which I have endeavoured to set forth in these memoirs. Sometimes he had with much effort to pick the fruit, sometimes it fell easily into his lap. But the most terrible human tragedies were often involved in those cases which brought him the fewest personal opportunities, and it is one of these which I now desire to record. In telling it, I have made a slight change of name and place, but otherwise the facts are as stated. One forenoon — it was late in 1896 — I received a hurried note from Holmes asking for my attendance. When I arrived I found him seated in a smoke-laden atmosphere, with an elderly, motherly woman of the buxom landlady type in the corresponding chair in front of him. “This is Mrs. Merrilow, of South Brixton,” said my friend with a wave of the hand. “Mrs. Merrilow does not object to tobacco, Watson, if you wish to indulge your filthy habits. Mrs. Merrilow has an interesting story to tell which may well lead to further developments in which your presence may be useful.” “Anything I can do

He'd spent the previous night at Wisteria Lodge, Aloysius Garcia's rented house, but when he woke in the morning, he found that Garcia and his servants had all disappeared. He was alone in an empty house. Eccles met Garcia, a Spaniard, through an acquaintance; they seemed to form an unlikely friendship right away. When Eccles got to Wisteria Lodge, he could tell though that something was amiss. Garcia seemed distracted and the whole mood was quite sombre. And then one of Garcia's servants handed him a note -- and the man's mood became even darker. Not more than a few minutes behind Eccles, the Surrey police arrive at 221B Baker Street to report the suspicious death of Garcia and caution him about his potential arrest.

The Adventures and the Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (Union Square Kids Unabridged Classics)

Arthur Conan Doyle

It’s elementary—there’s no more intriguing detective than Sherlock Holmes, with his unequalled powers of deduction, and no better mysteries than the tricky ones that only he can solve. Here are some of the finest Holmes stories, recounted by his trusty friend and assistant, Dr. Watson. The illustrations for this series were created by Scott McKowen, who, with his wife Christina Poddubiuk, operates Punch & Judy Inc., a company specializing in design and illustration for theater and performing arts. Their projects often involve research into the visual aspects of historical settings and characters. Christina is a theater set and costume designer and contributed advice on the period clothing for the illustrations. Scott created these drawings in scratchboard an engraving medium which evokes the look of popular art from the period of these stories. Scratchboard is an illustration board with a specifically prepared surface of hard white chalk. A thin layer of black ink is rolled over the surface, and lines are drawn by hand with a sharp knife by scraping through the ink layer to expose the white surface underneath. The finished drawings are then scanned and the color is added digitally.

The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes & His Last Bow (Wordsworth Collector's Editions)

Arthur Conan Doyle

Surely no man would take up my profession if it were not that danger attracts him. In The Casebook, you can read the final twelve stories that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about his brilliant detective. They are perhaps the most unusual and the darkest that he penned. Treachery, mutilation and the terrible consequences of infidelity are just some of the themes explored in these stories, along with atmospheric touches of the gothic, involving a bloodsucking vampire, crypts at midnight and strange bones in a furnace. The collection His Last Bow features some of Sherlock Holmes most dramatic cases, including the vicious revenge intrigue connected with The Red Circle and the insidious murders in The Devils Foot. The title story recounts how Sherlock Holmes is brought out of retirement to help the government foil a German plot on the eve of the First World War. These two fascinating sets of stories make a glorious farewell to the greatest detective of them all and his erstwhile companion, Dr Watson.

The Case of Lady Sannox

Arthur Conan Doyle

The famed surgeon Douglas Stone flaunts his notorious affair with Lady Sannox, although his professional reputation begins to suffer. One night a mysterious Turk asks him to attend his wife, who has cut her lip on a poisoned dagger. The Turk insists that amputation offers the only hope of recovery. Anxious to pocket the proffered gold, and impatient to get to his mistress, Stone dismisses his professional misgivings. He excises the lower lip of the veiled, drugged woman--only to find that he was tricked into disfiguring Lady Sannox herself. Lord Sannox (disguised as the "Turk") thus gains his revenge, with his wife morally chastised (and forever after in seclusion), and Stone's "great brain [thenceforth] about as valuable as a cap full of porridge."

The Coming of the Fairies

Arthur Conan Doyle

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, best known as the creator of Sherlock Holmes but also a devout spiritualist, was entirely convinced by a set of photographs seemingly showing two young girls playing with a group of tiny, translucent fairies. To demonstrate his unshakable belief in the spirit world, the celebrated writer published, in 1922, 'The Coming of the Fairies'. It recounts the story of the photos, their supposed provenance, and the startling implications of their existence. One of the great hoaxes of all time, the Cottingley Fairy photographs are proof of mankind s willingness to believe. Conan Doyle s book, reprinted here with the original photographs, offers a unique insight into the mind of an intelligent, highly respected figure, who just happened to believe in fairies.

The Complete Sherlock Holmes - Volume I

Arthur Conan Doyle

With a knock on the door, a stranger enters Sherlock Holmes’s Baker Street rooms, begging Holmes to solve a ghastly and perplexing mystery. The legendary detective and his longtime friend Dr. Watson set out to explore the scene of the crime, making headway where the literally clueless police have failed. Combining an acute eye for the telling detail with an encyclopedic knowledge of the most esoteric subjects, Holmes follows the clues on a circuitous and perilous path until he solves the case in dramatic fashion. Back at Baker Street, he readily explains to Watson any point in the chain of reasoning that might have escaped the old boy’s understanding. From his first outing, the novel A Study in Scarlet, Conan Doyle found the winning formula on display in The Complete Sherlock Holmes, Volume I, which also includes another masterful Holmes novel, The Sign of Four. In addition, the incomparable sleuth resolves conundrums and captures villains in the twenty-three short stories contained in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, including “A Scandal in Bohemia,” “The Red-Headed League,” “The Speckled Band,” and “The Final Problem.”

In four novels and fifty-six short stories, Holmes with his trusted friend Dr. Watson, steps from his comfortable quarters at 221B Baker Street into the swirling fog of London. Combining detailed observation with brilliant deduction, Holmes rescues the innocent, confounds the guilty, and solves the most perplexing puzzles crime has to offer. Volume I of The Complete Sherlock Holmes begins with Holmes's first appearance, A Study in Scarlet, a chilling murder novel complete with bloodstained walls and cryptic clues. This is followed by the baffling The Sign of Four, which introduces Holmes's cocaine problem and Watson's future wife. Volume I also includes the story collections The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, and concludes with the tale "The Final Problem," in which Conan Doyle, tired of writing Holmes stories, kills off his famed sleuth.

Inevitably, Holmes rescues the innocent, confounds the guilty, and solves the most perplexing puzzles known to literature. Volume II of The Complete Sherlock Holmes begins with The Return of Sherlock Holmes. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, tired of writing about Holmes, had killed him off at the end of “The Final Problem,” the last tale in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (found in Volume I of The Complete Sherlock Holmes).

The first story in The Return, “The Adventure of the Empty House,” features Conan Doyle’s infamously inventive explanation of how Holmes escaped what seemed like certain death. This volume also includes two other collections of Holmes stories, His Last Bow and The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes; Conan Doyle’s final full-length Holmes novel, The Valley of Fear; a pair of parodies, “The Field Bazaar” and “How Watson Learned the Trick”; and two essays about the “private life” of the beloved sleuth.

The Complete Stories of Sherlock Holmes, Volume 1

Arthur Conan Doyle

First appearing in print in 1890, the character of Sherlock Holmes has now become synonymous worldwide with the concept of a super sleuth. His creator, Conan Doyle, imbued his detective hero with intellectual power, acute observational abilities, a penchant for deductive reasoning and a highly educated use of forensic skills. Indeed, Doyle created the first fictional private detective who used what we now recognize as modern scientific investigative techniques. Doyle ended up writing four novels and 56 short stories featuring Holmes and his companion, Dr. Watson. All but four are told in the first person by Watson, two by Holmes, and two are written in the third person. Together, this series of beautifully written Victorian literature has sold more copies than any other books in the English language, with the exceptions of the Bible and Shakespeare. Volume 1 in this series consists of two novels, A Study in Scarlet and The Sign of Four, followed by a collection of short stories entitled The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

The Brigadier's wonderful comic adventures, long established in the affections of Conan Doyle's admirers as second only to those of the incomparable Holmes, are sure to find new devotees among the ardent fans of such writers as Patrick O'Brian and George MacDonald Fraser.

The Five Orange Pips (The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, #5)

Arthur Conan Doyle

Sherlock Holmes, the world's 'only unofficial consulting detective', was first introduced to readers in "A Study in Scarlet" introduced by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1887. It was with the publication of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes," however, that the master sleuth grew tremendously in popularity, later to become one of the most beloved literary characters of all time. In "The Five Orange Pips," one of the short stories in "Adventures ..," John Openshaw visits Baker Street to consult Sherlock Holmes as to the mysterious deaths of both his uncle and father upon the arrival of letters containing only five dried orange pips and an envelope mark 'K.K.K.'. The young gentleman further relates that he too has received a similar envelope with instructions to surrender some papers. Holmes quickly deduces that his client faces imminent danger from a secret society in America. The short stories comprising "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" have been amusingly illustrated using only Lego® brand minifigures and bricks. The illustrations recreate, through custom designed Lego models, the composition of the black and white drawings by Sidney Paget that accompanied the original publication of these adventures appearing in "The Strand Magazine" from July 1891 to June 1892. Paget's iconic illustrations are largely responsible for the popular image of Sherlock Holmes, including his deerstalker cap and Inverness cape, details never mentioned in the writings of Conan Doyle. This uniquely illustrated collection, which features some of the most famous and enjoyable cases investigated by Sherlock Holmes and his devoted friend and biographer Dr. John H. Watson, including "A Scandal in Bohemia" and "The Red-Headed League," is sure to delight Lego enthusiasts, as well as fans of the Great Detective, both old and new.

The story is #9 of eleven in "The Memoirs of Sherlock Homes." On a summer evening, while engaged in in an aimless conversation that comes round to the topic of hereditary attributes, Doctor Watson learns that Sherlock Holmes, far from being a one-off in terms of his powers of observation and deductive reasoning, in fact has an elder brother whose skills, or so Holmes claims, outstrip even his own.

Arthur Conan Doyle

The Hound of the Baskervilles & The Valley of Fear

Arthur Conan Doyle

The Hound of the Baskervilles is the classic detective chiller. It features the world's greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes, in his most challenging case. The Baskerville family is haunted by a phantom beast "with blazing eyes and dripping jaws" which roams the mist-enshrouded moors around the isolated Baskerville Hall on Dartmoor. Now the hound seems to be stalking young Sir Henry, the new master of the Baskerville estate. Is this devilish spectre the manifestation of the family curse? Or is Sir Henry the victim of a vile and scheming murderer? Only Sherlock Holmes can solve this devilish affair. The Valley of Fear is a dark, powerful tale, which provides the great detective with a most perplexing case and opens with a vile murder: "Lying across his chest was a most curious weapon, a shotgun with the barrel sawn off in front of the triggers. It was clear that it had been fired at close range, and that he had received the whole charge in the face, blowing his head almost to pieces". Sherlock Holmes' arch enemy, the criminal genius Professor Moriarty, is back! But the solution to the riddle, found after many surprising twists and high dramas, lies far away, half across the world in a location known as 'The Valley of Fear'. This is Conan Doyle's last Holmes novel and in the opinion of many of his fans, it is the best!

The Hound of the Baskervilles, with "the Adventure of the Speckled Band"

Arthur Conan Doyle

The Hound of the Baskervilles (1901–02) is Arthur Conan Doyle’s most celebrated Sherlock Holmes adventure. At the end of the yew tree path of his ancestral home, Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead. Close by are the footprints of a gigantic hound. Called to investigate, Holmes seems to face a supernatural foe. In the tense narration of the detective’s efforts to solve the crime, Conan Doyle meditates on late Victorian and early twentieth-century ideas of ancestry and atavism, the possible biological determination of criminals, the stability of the British landed classes, and the place of the supernatural. Historical documents included with this fully-annotated Broadview edition help contextualize the novel’s debates and reveal its cultural and literary significance as a supreme instance of early detective fiction. Also included is the Conan Doyle short story The Adventure of the Speckled Band.

The Leather Funnel

Arthur Conan Doyle

Universalmente conocido por ser el creador del famoso detective Sherlock Holmes, el escritor británico sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Edimburgo, Escocia, 1859 - Crowborough, Inglaterra, 1930) aprovechó el tiempo libre que le dejaba una carrera de medicina no muy próspera para dedicarse a escribir de forma infatigable. Como médico, sin embargo, participó en las campañas de África y su defensa de la intervención de su país en aquel continente le valió el título de sir en 1902. Un sir, dice la leyenda, que creía en las hadas. Conoció en vida el éxito literario y cultivó el género histórico. Sigue viva la popularidad de novelas como Estudio en escarlata (1887), Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes (1892), El sabueso de los Baskerville (1902) o El valle del terror (1915) . En sus relatos quedaron también plasmados su interés por el espiritismo (se dice que a consecuencia de la muerte de su hijo en la I Guerra Mundial), por la reflexión social y por los mecanismos del crimen, principalmente a través de una brillante construcción de personajes.

The Legend of Sherlock Holmes

Arthur Conan Doyle

"I must admit, Watson, that you have some power of selection which atones for much which I deplore in your narratives. Your fatal habit of looking at everything from the point of view of a story, instead of as a scientific exercise, has ruined what might have been an instructive and even classical series of demonstrations." -Sherlock Holmes Fatal habit or no, Watson's storytelling lives on in this new selection of eleven classic tales, opening with the cliffhanging encounter between Holmes and his archnemesis Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls. The stories that follow trace Holmes's adventures in the years after his surprising return, all the way up to his retirement spent keeping bees upon the Sussex Downs. With all-new illustrations and a foreword on the detective's cultural surroundings, this collection brings the stories and their Victorian milieu to life.

The Lost World and The Poison Belt

Arthur Conan Doyle

A heart-stopping adventure tale featuring a brilliant scientist—as insufferably pompous as Doyle's most famous character—and his unlikely trio, and its apocalyptic sequel. In 1912, the creator of Sherlock Holmes introduced his readers to yet another genius adventurer, Professor Challenger, who in his very first outing would journey to South America in search of... an isolated plateau crawling with iguanodons and ape-men! A smash hit, Doyle's proto-science fiction thriller would be adapted twice by Hollywood filmmakers, and it would go on to influence everything from Jurassic Park to the TV show Land of the Lost. Its 1913 sequel, The Poison Belt, finds Challenger and his dino-hunting comrades trapped in an oxygenated chamber as the entire planet passes through a lethal ether cloud. Joshua Glenn is a consulting semiotician and editor of the websites HiLobrow and Semiovox. The first to describe 1900–1935 as science fiction's “Radium Age,” he is editor of the MIT Press's series of reissued proto-sf stories from that period. He is coauthor and coeditor of various books including the family activities guide Unbored (2012), The Adventurer's Glossary (2021), and Lost Objects (2022). In the 1990s, he published the indie intellectual journal Hermenaut. Conor Reid is a podcaster and writer from Ireland. He has published widely on popular fiction and science, including The Science and Fiction of Edgar Rice Burroughs (2018). He is the Head of Podcasts at HeadStuff Media as well as the host and producer of his own critically acclaimed literature podcast, Words to That Effect. The podcast, which has been performed live in both Ireland and the United Kingdom, tells stories of the fiction that shapes popular culture.

The Lost World & Other Stories

Arthur Conan Doyle

These lively, varied and thought-provoking science-fiction stories (from the era of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells) are linked by their imposing central character, the pugnaciously adventurous and outrageous Professor Challenger. The Lost World (forebear of Jurassic Park) vividly depicts a perilous region in which the explorers confront creatures from the prehistoric era. 'The Poison Belt' presents an eerie doomsday scenario, while ‘The Disintegration Machine’ satirically comments on scientific cynicism. In ‘When the World Screamed’, the planet responds violently to an experimental incursion. The strangest item is 'The Land of Mist', which seeks to reconcile science with spiritualism. This memorable collection provides imaginative entertainment, entrancing escapism and bold provocation.

The Lost World (Professor Challenger, #1)

Arthur Conan Doyle

Soon after, he meets Professor George Challenger, a scientist who claims to have discovered a 'lost world' populated by pterodactyls and other prehistoric monsters.

Arthur Conan Doyle

A strange place to bump into one another! Holmes and Dr. Watson discover each other in the black shadows of a smoke-filled opium den in the basement of the very house where Holmes is investigating his latest murder case!

And we haven't even talked about the murder yet!

Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes is perhaps the world's most famous detective and this series is devoted to bringing the books to an even wider audience.

Some of the author’s phrases are still in use in modern-day British English and these are described to make the text clearer to English speakers from outside of the UK, or to those who do not speak English as a first language. Also included is some background information on places, names and terms used in the story. It is not essential to consult the notes when reading this book, however, it is hoped that the explanations will enhance the reader’s enjoyment of this story by giving them some insights that might otherwise have been missed. The book contains Sidney Paget’s original drawings that were included when the stories were first published and a map showing the main locations mentioned.

The Mysterious Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Arthur Conan Doyle

The Narrative of John Smith

Arthur Conan Doyle

Before there was the astute detective Sherlock Holmes and his capable compatriot Watson, there was the opinionated Everyman John Smith. In 1883, when he was just twenty-three, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote The Narrative of John Smith while he was living in Portsmouth and struggling to establish himself as both a doctor and a writer. He had already succeeded in having a number of short stories published in leading magazines of the day, such as Blackwood’s , All the Year Round , London Society , and the Boy’s Own Paper —but as was the accepted practice of literary journals of the time, his stories had been published anonymously. Thus, Conan Doyle knew that in order to truly establish his name as a writer, he would have to write a novel. That novel—the first he ever wrote and only now published for the first time—is The Narrative of John Smith . Many of the themes and stylistic tropes of his later writing, including his first Sherlock Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet —published in 1887—can be clearly seen. More a series of ruminations than a traditional novel, The Narrative of John Smith is of considerable biographical importance and provides an exceptional window into the mind of the creator of Sherlock Holmes. Through John Smith, a fifty-year-old man confined to his room by an attack of gout, Conan Doyle sets down his thoughts and opinions on a range of subjects—including literature, science, religion, war, and education—with no detectable insecurity or diffidence. His writing is full of bravado. Though unfinished, The Narrative of John Smith stands as a fascinating record of the early work of a man on his way to being one of the best-known authors in the world. This book will be welcomed with enthusiasm by the numerous Conan Doyle devotees.

Arthur Conan Doyle

The New Revelation

Arthur Conan Doyle

The (dis)connection between psychological (or scientific) and psychic mind is a subject that has baffled man for centuries. The phenomenon captured in a very particular way the attention of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a man in whom the analytic and artistic struggled for dominance, and inspired The New Revelation, originally published in 1918. The treatise deals not only with the issue of physical versus metaphysical, but also considers the problem of death (and afterlife) and the question of communication with the spirit world. Conan Doyle's captivating prose and pragmatic, yet human, voice makes for an enlightening exploration of some eternally relevant questions-and possible answers. Scottish surgeon and political activist SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE (1859-1930) turned his passions into stories and novels, producing fiction and nonfiction works sometimes controversial (The Great Boer War, 1900), sometimes fanciful (The Coming of the Fairies, 1922), and sometimes legendary (The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, 1892).

Another great one from Conan Doyle. Holmes is engaged initially by a pawnbroker. He's upset by the loss of a well-paying, part-time job. One that doesn't require many hours and, when it does require work, doesn't interfere with his busiest times at the pawn shop. To Sherlock Holmes, it may be much more than it appears. Could it be the beginning of a larger mystery? Using minute details of the small one, he works to solve the serious one. "Depend upon it," said Holmes to Watson in "A Case of Identity." "There is nothing so unnatural as the commonplace."

The White Company (Dover Literature: Historical Fiction)

Arthur Conan Doyle

"Now order the ranks, and fling wide the banners, for our souls are God's and our bodies the king's, and our swords for Saint George and for England!" With that rousing proclamation, twelve hundred knights ride into battle, accompanied by the stalwart archers known as the White Company.Fueled by their appetite for glory, this motley crew of freebooters stands united in their unswerving devotion to the company commander, Sir Nigel Loring. Short, bald, and extremely nearsighted, Sir Nigel's unprepossessing appearance belies his warrior's heart and his chivalrous nature. The rollicking adventures of his company during the Hundred Years War center around Sir Nigel's loyal squire, Alleyne Edricson. Raised in the sheltered confines of a monastery, young Alleyne comes of age amid the rough-and-tumble of armed conflict and the bewildering ways of courtly love.Best known as the creator of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was also a passionate historian. The White Company was his favorite among his own works; here, he offers flavorful, realistic depictions of life during the 14th century — from its weapons and apparel to its religious practice, and the close connection between the cycles of human existence, and the rhythm of the seasons. Readers of all ages will thrill to this spirited tale and its evocative portrait of the Middle Ages.

Tutti i romanzi e i racconti fantastici e dell'orrore

Arthur Conan Doyle

Dopo aver creato il famosissimo detective Sherlock Holmes (più che mai razionale e deduttivo) e aver consegnato alla storia della letteratura gialla le sue avventure, sir Arthur Conan Doyle decise di cimentarsi con il soprannaturale e le sue suggestioni. Nacque così il personaggio del Professor Challenger, protagonista di Il mondo perduto e di altri quattro romanzi: un uomo burbero ma simpatico, impegnato in rocambolesche peregrinazioni tra fenomeni paranormali, orrori, spiritismi e stranezze di ogni sorta, raccontate con uno stile sempre vivace e vigoroso. Appassionato dell’occulto, Conan Doyle si mise alla prova con il fantastico e la fantascienza, valicando anche i confini della letteratura dell’orrore: nei romanzi e nei racconti qui integralmente presentati vengono ritratte cupe atmosfere, viaggi nel passato, incubi provenienti dall’antichità, magie contagiose, spiritismo, ipnosi e scambi di personalità. Una produzione sorprendente e avvincente che merita di essere riscoperta. Questo volume comprende: Il mondo perduto; La fine del mondo; La macchina disintegratrice; Una scoperta meravigliosa; Nel paese delle nebbie; Quando la terra urlò; L’abisso di Atlantide; Tutti i racconti fantastici e dell’orrore.

Tutto Sherlock Holmes

Arthur Conan Doyle

• Uno studio in rosso • Il segno dei Quattro • Le avventure di Sherlock Holmes • Le memorie di Sherlock Holmes • Il mastino dei Baskerville • Il ritorno di Sherlock Holmes • La Valle della Paura • L’ultimo saluto • Il taccuino di Sherlock Holmes Il 1887 rappresenta una data storica nella letteratura poliziesca. Nasce in quell’anno il più celebre detective di tutti i tempi: Sherlock Holmes. Anche se Uno studio in rosso, il primo romanzo della serie, passò praticamente inosservato, qualche anno dopo però Il segno dei Quattro fu accolto con un favore di pubblico tale da rimanere celebre nella storia letteraria. Per quarant’anni Doyle continuò a inventare storie sul celebre detective e sul suo inseparabile aiutante, amico e voce narrante, il dottor Watson, creando un modello destinato a esercitare un’influenza decisiva su tutta la letteratura poliziesca. Da Uno studio in rosso a Il segno dei Quattro, dal ben noto Mastino dei Baskerville a La Valle della Paura, a Le avventure di Sherlock Holmes, l’investigatore si confronta con un caleidoscopio di casi sempre più complessi ricorrendo spesso al suo stratagemma preferito: travestirsi, da prete, da marinaio o da mendicante. Nell’ultima avventura delle Memorie di Sherlock Holmes, Doyle, ormai stanco del personaggio, ne decreterà la morte facendolo precipitare in un abisso. Sarà poi costretto dalle proteste del pubblico a farlo resuscitare: eccolo in gran forma nel Ritorno di Sherlock Holmes. L’ultimo saluto raccoglie quattro straordinarie storie dell’investigatore, ancora agile e lucido nonostante gli anni. Nel Taccuino di Sherlock Holmes, l’insuperabile detective si aggira tra maggiordomi, tappeti persiani e preziosi servizi da tè: ritrova tesori, chiarisce misteri, salva onori minacciati da gravissime onte.
