Bücher von Arthur Conan Doyle

Diese erste Sammlung klassischer Sherlock-Holmes-Stories gilt vielen Sherlock-Holmes-Fans als die mit Abstand am besten gelungene. Folgende Geschichten präsentieren dem Hörer den wahren, noch unverfälschten Sherlock Holmes: "Ein Skandal in Bohemia","Die Liga der rothaarigen Männer", "Ein Fall von Identität","Das Rätsel im Boscombe-Valley","Fünf Apfelsinenkerne", "Der Mann mit dem schiefen Mund", "Der blaue Karfunkel", "Das gefleckte Band", "Der Daumen des Ingenieurs", "Der adlige Junggeselle", "Die Beryll Krone" und "Das Haus "Zu den Blutbuchen".Das erstaunlichste Abenteuer des Meisterdetektivs Sherlock Holmes hat eigentlich nicht Conan Doyle erfunden: es besteht vielmehr darin, daß diese Phantasiegestalt zu eigenem Leben erwacht ist und eine Existenz erlangt hat, an die Ungezählte felsenfest glaubten und glauben. Als der Detektiv 1887 erstmals in einer längeren Geschichte auftauchte, konnte niemand ahnen, welches glorreiche Schicksal ihm beschieden war. Fünf Jahre später hatte Conan Doyle es satt, immer wieder neue Taten seines Helden zu ersinnen, und er ließ ihn kurzerhand in den Reichenbachfällen in der Schweiz umkommen. Das Publikum aber konnte sich damit nicht abfinden. Der Autor holte den Totgesagten ins Leben zurück und betraute ihn noch mit einer Reihe schwierigster und gewagtester Aufgaben, die sein Freund Dr. Watson wiederum als stümperhafter Gehilfe mit ihm vollbringt. Der mit übermenschlichen Zügen ausgestattete Sherlock Holmes und der brave Dr. Watson waren längst zu mythischen Gestalten geworden, als Sir Arthur Conan Doyle 1930 starb. Andere Schriftsteller, auch ohne Zweifel größere, haben vor und nach ihm Detektivgeschichten und -romane verfasst. Aber keinem ist im selben Maß die Gunst gewährt worden, Figuren zu erschaffen, die so weltweit berühmt wurden.

Sherlock Holmes lebt!Nur knapp war er dem mörderischen Anschlag auf sein Leben bei den Reichenbacher Wasserfällen entgangen, und nun, so erzählt Dr. Watson über die Wiederkehr seines Freundes und Meisters, stand Sherlock Holmes da und lächelte mich über den Tisch hinweg an. Ich erhob mich, starrte ihn einige Sekunden lang in völliger Verwirrung an und muss dann wohl, zum ersten und einzigen Mal in meinem Leben, ohnmächtig geworden sein. Grauer Nebel wirbelte mir vor den Augen, und als er sich verzogen hatte, war mein Kragen geöffnet, und auf meinen Lippen schmeckte ich den prickelnden Nachgeschmack von Kognak. Holmes stand über meinen Sessel gebeugt und hielt seine Taschenflasche in der Hand. Die schwierigen, ja fast unlösbar scheinenden Kriminalfälle, an denen der Meisterdetektiv nach seiner Rückkehr sein überragendes Können einmal mehr unter Beweis stellte, hat Dr. Watson aufgezeichnet und uns in diesem Band vorgelegt.Das erstaunlichste Abenteuer des Meisterdetektivs Sherlock Holmes hat eigentlich nicht Conan Doyle erfunden: es besteht vielmehr darin, daß diese Phantasiegestalt zu eigenem Leben erwacht ist und eine Existenz erlangt hat, an die Ungezählte felsenfest glaubten und glauben.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of the famous Sherlock Holmes, was also a believer in ghosts and fairies and wrote books about spiritualism and fairies. In 1917 two young girls took photographs of what they said to be real fairies. The History is known as "The Cottingley Fairies" and this is the story about Conan Doyles investigation of the phenomena.

In "The Vital Message" the sun has risen higher, and one sees more clearly and broadly what our new relations with the Unseen may be. As I look into the future of the human race I am reminded of how once, from amid the bleak chaos of rock and snow at the head of an Alpine pass, I looked down upon the far stretching view of Lombardy, shimmering in the sunshine and extending in one splendid panorama of blue lakes and green rolling hills until it melted into the golden haze which draped the far horizon. Such a promised land is at our very feet which, when we attain it, will make our present civilisation seem barren and uncouth. Already our vanguard is well over the pass. Nothing can now prevent us from reaching that wonderful land which stretches so clearly before those eyes which are opened to see it.

There are two of them, the fifth and the ninth, from which some excisions are necessary; but in the main I hope that they may be reproduced as they stand. I am sure that there is no privilege which my friend would value more highly than the thought that some other young man, harassed by the needs of this world and doubts of the next, should have gotten strength by reading how a brother had passed down the valley of shadow before him.

Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - The idea that the extraordinary narrative which has been called the Joyce-Armstrong Fragment is an elaborate practical joke evolved by some unknown person, cursed by a perverted and sinister sense of humour, has now been abandoned by all who have examined the matter. The most macabre and imagi-native of plotters would hesitate before linking his morbid fancies with the unquestioned and tragic facts which reinforce the statement. Though the assertions contained in it are amazing and even monstrous, it is none the less forcing itself upon the general intelligence that they are true, and that we must readjust our ideas to the new situation. This world of ours appears to be separated by a slight and precarious margin of safety from a most singular and unexpected danger. I will endeavour in this narrative, which reproduces the original document in its necessarily somewhat fragmentary form, to lay before the reader the whole of the facts up to date, prefacing my statement by saying that, if there be any who doubt the narrative of Joyce-Armstrong, there can be no question at all as to the facts concerning Lieutenant Myrtle, R. N., and Mr. Hay Connor, who undoubtedly met their end in the manner described.

In those simple times there was a great wonder and mystery in life. Man walked in fear and solemnity, with Heaven very close above his head, and Hell below his very feet. God's visible hand was everywhere, in the rainbow and the comet, in the thunder and the wind. The Devil too raged openly upon the earth; he skulked behind the hedge-rows in the gloaming.
