A Study In Scarlet and Other Stories
Arthur Conan Doyle
A Study in Scarlet was written in 1886 and is the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, who would become the most famous detective duo in popular fiction. The story, and its main characters, attracted little public interest when it first appeared. Only 11 complete copies of the magazine in which the story first appeared, Beeton s Christmas Annual are known to exist now and they have considerable value. Although Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle wrote 56 short stories that featured Sherlock Holmes, A Study in Scarlet is one of only four full-length novels. A Study in Scarlet was the first work of detective fiction to incorporate the magnifying glass as an investigative tool. The character of Sherlock Holmes has been portrayed by over 100 different actors in theatre, on radio, in film, on audiobook and on television.

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.”
Die Memoiren von Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes one of the world's greatest and most popular fictional detectives, With more sinister and baffling cases to investigate, Holmes and his trusted companion Dr Watson (Edward Hardwicke) are at the hands of more desperate criminals who it seems will stop at nothing to conceal their acts of terror.

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.
Estudio en escarlata
Arthur Conan Doyle
La publicación en 1887 de" Estudio en escarlata" significó la primera aparición del mítico detective Sherlock Holmes, que habría de acabar convirtiéndose en uno de los más célebres personajes no sólo de la novela de misterio, sino de toda la historia de la literatura. A caballo entre el género policiaco, la reconstrucción histórica y el relato de aventuras, la novela �en la que Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) plantea, despliega y resuelve el enigma de forma magistral� gira en torno a un crimen cometido en Londres y cuya trama se relaciona con la secta mormona y el estado de Utah.

Historias de Horror e Misterio (Em Portugues do Brasil)
Arthur Conan Doyle
DO CRIADOR DO ICÔNICO SHERLOCK HOLMES.Arthur Conan Doyle é a mente por trás de personagens icônicos da literatura. É sinônimo de histórias de detetive.

Mas e se, mesmo depois de dois séculos, pudéssemos redescobrir esse grande clássico com outras facetas?“Histórias de horror e mistério” é uma coletânea de 12 contos curtos e de leitura hipnotizante, graças à escrita de Doyle. 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.

Previo a estos relatos, Conan Doyle había escrito dos novelas con el gran detective como protagonista (Estudio en Escarlata y El Signo de los Cuatro), pero si bien estas habían tenido cierto exito, fue a partir de la publicación de los cuentos cortos que Sherlock Holmes comenzó a tener dimensiones de mito y el autor pudo convertirse en un escritor a tiempo completo.

El padre de John (Joseph) habia patentado unos neumaticos irrompibles que lo hicieron rico, tanto que vendio la empresa y se retiro aun mas rico. El tio de John (Elias), en cambio, emigro a USA, donde consiguio el cargo de coronel en el ejercito, y compro una plantacion en Florida. En 1869, Elias volvio a Inglaterra, donde adquirio una finca. Era un hombre violento, irascible y con repugnancia hacia la etnia negra; fumaba mucho y tomaba brandy en abundancia. En 1878, Joseph le pidio a Elias que John se quedara en su casa. Elias acepto amablemente. El 10 de marzo del 1883, en el correo aparecio una carta Que venia desde Pondicherry, India.

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".
Le avventure di Sherlock Holmes: Un caso d'identità
Arthur Conan Doyle
Un altro caso per l'amato detective del XIX secolo, questa volta alle prese, probabilmente, con il mistero più semplice ma altrettanto interessante raccontato ne "Le avventure di Sherlock Holmes". La signorina Mary Sutherland è terribilmente distrutta dalla scomparsa di Hosmer Angel, l'uomo che ama e che avrebbe sposato se non fosse sparito nel nulla nella sua carrozza ancor prima di giungere all'altare. Il caso si presenta problematico all'apparenza, ma non per Sherlock Holmes che con pochi indizi risolve immediatamente il mistero, stando tranquillamente seduto sulla sua comoda poltrona a Baker Street.
Racconto incluso nel libro "Le avventure di Sherlock Holmes".

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 e i cinque semi d'arancia (The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, #5)
Arthur Conan Doyle
Il primo degli audioracconti dedicati al famoso personaggio creato da Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes, l'investigatore più amato di tutti i tempi, alle prese con una serie di misteriosi omicidi, tutti accomunati da un solo, inquietante indizio: cinque semi d'arancia recapitati alle vittime poco prima della loro morte. Una vicenda oscura da risolvere, come sempre, con intuito infallibile, pipa in bocca e l'aiuto dell'inseparabile Watson.
Sherlock Holmes e il mistero di Boscombe Valley
Arthur Conan Doyle
“L’avventura della banda maculata”, “La Lega dei Capelli Rossi”, “Il mistero di Boscombe Valley”: altri tre magnifici racconti (basti ricordare che i primi due si sono classificati rispettivamente al primo e al secondo posto in un sondaggio che intendeva decretare i migliori racconti con protagonista Sherlock Holmes) scaturiti dalla fantasia del medico scozzese Arthur Conan Doyle (Edimburgo, 1859 – Crowborough, 1930). Il celebre detective si trova qui alle prese con tre casi particolarmente intricati, che solo grazie alla sua straordinaria perizia e alla sua maniacale attenzione anche al dettaglio più minuto e apparentemente irrilevante potranno essere condotti a soluzione. Tra fosche vicende di omicidi e ricatti, sconvolgenti misteri familiari, spericolati tentativi di furto, Sherlock Holmes e il suo fido assistente nonché amico – il dottor Watson, che narra in prima persona queste avventure – daranno ancora una volta scacco al crimine.
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

He writes: "Popular fiction offers different kinds of superheroes to save the world by restoring order to the chaos, confusion and criminality of our times. Heroes with remarkable gifts are as in vogue now as they have been since they first appeared, perhaps even more in vogue. 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."
Stephen Fry is an English actor, screenwriter, author, playwright, journalist, comedian, television presenter, film director and all round national treasure. He is the acclaimed narrator of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter audiobooks and most recently recorded The Tales of Max Carrados for Audible Studios. Stephen has contributed columns and articles to newspapers and magazines, appears frequently on radio and has written four novels and three volumes of autobiography.

Sherlock Holmes: The Long Stories
Arthur Conan Doyle
BOOKS
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.

Sherlock Holmes (Tome 1): Une étude en rouge - Le signe des quatre - Les aventures de Sherlock Holmes - Les mémoires de Sherlock Holmes - Le retour de Sherlock Holmes
Arthur Conan Doyle
The first Sherlock Holmes novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is re-presented with an all-new cover by Kelley Jones!The novel is split into two separate halves. The first is titled "Being a Reprint from the Reminiscences of John Watson, M.D., Late of the Army Medical Department." This section is told in first person by Holmes' friend Doctor John H. Watson and describes his introduction in 1881 to Sherlock Holmes through a mutual friend and the first mystery in which he followed Holmes' investigations. The mystery revolves around a corpse found at a derelict house in Brixton, England with the word "RACHE" scrawled in blood on the wall beside the body.The second half of the story is called The Country of the Saints and jumps to the United States of America and the Mormon community, and incorporating a depiction of the Danites, including an appearance by Brigham Young in a somewhat villainous context. It is told in a third person narrative style, with an omniscient narrator, before returning in the last two chapters to Watson's account of Holmes' investigation, and then Holmes' own explanation of his solution. In these two chapters the relationship between the two halves of the novel becomes apparent. The motive for the crime is essentially one of lost love and revenge.

Holmes tells Watson about Commissionaire Peterson's report of seeing a little knot of roughs assault a man carrying a Christmas goose home for the family. They all ran, leaving both the goose and the hat. No one could locate the man, Henry Baker, whose name was tagged to the goose so Peterson took possession.

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 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 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.”
The Complete Sherlock Holmes, Volume I
Arthur Conan Doyle
Eccentric, arrogant, and ingenious, Sherlock Holmes remains the world's most popular and influential fictional detective. 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.

The Complete Sherlock Holmes comprises four novels and fifty-six short stories revolving around the world’s most popular and influential fictional detective—the eccentric, arrogant, and ingenious Sherlock Holmes. He and his trusted friend, Dr. Watson, step from Holmes’s comfortable quarters at 221b Baker Street into the swirling fog of Victorian London to combine detailed observation and vast knowledge with brilliant deduction. 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). Public demand for new Holmes stories was so great, however, that Conan Doyle eventually resurrected him. 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 Five Orange Pips and Other Cases
Arthur Conan Doyle
'He is the Napoleon of crime, Watson ... He sits motionless, like a spider in the centre of its web, but that web has a thousand radiations, and he knows well every quiver of each of them'
Sherlock Holmes, scourge of criminals everywhere, whether they be lurking in London's foggy backstreets or plotting behind the walls of an idyllic country mansion, and his faithful colleague Dr Watson, solve these breathtaking and perplexing mysteries. In Arthur Conan Doyle's The Five Orange Pips and Other Cases we encounter some of his most famous and devilishly difficult problems.
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 Hound of the Baskervilles: Another Adventure of Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes, #5)
Arthur Conan Doyle
The Hound of the Baskervilles is the tale of an ancient curse suddenly given a terrifying modern application. The grey towers of Baskerville Hall and the wild open country of Dartmoor hold many secrets for Holmes and Watson to unravel.

The gray towers of Baskerville Hall and the wild open country of Dartmoor will haunt the reader as Holmes and Watson seek to unravel the many secrets of the misty English bogs.
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 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.

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
It's London, 1907. Journalist Edward Malone, rejected by the woman he loves because he is too prosaic, decides to go in search of adventure and fame to prove himself worthy of her. Soon after, he meets Professor George Challenger, a scientist who claims to have discovered a 'lost world' populated by pterodactyls and other prehistoric monsters.
The Man with the Twisted Lip - a Sherlock Holmes Short Story (The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, #6)

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! But of course the good doctor is only there to hunt down the drug-addicted husband of his wife's dear, but distraught, friend. Sound confusing? For all but The Great Detective, it probably is. And we haven't even talked about the murder yet!

Sherlock Holmes recounts to Watson the events arising after a visit from a former university acquaintance, Reginald Musgrave. Musgrave comes to see him after the disappearance of two of his domestic staff, Rachel Howells, a maid, and Richard Brunton, the longtime butler. The pair vanished after Musgrave had dismissed Brunton for secretly reading a family document, the Musgrave Ritual.
Musgrave asks Holmes, "Can you make anything of it?"
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).

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.
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.
