Seine Erzählungen um den Detektiv Sherlock Holmes und seinen Freund Dr. John Watson machten ihn weltberühmt und erfreuen sich bis heute großer Beliebtheit. 1859 in Edinburgh geboren, studierte er Medizin und reiste als Schiffsarzt in die Arktis und nach Afrika. Er führte eine Arztpraxis in Portsmouth und begann nebenbei mit dem Schreiben von ersten Erzählungen, bevor er 1886 mit seinem ersten Sherlock-Holmes-Roman, „Eine Studie in Scharlachrot" begann und damit den Grundstein für seine literarische Karriere legte.

It would be hard to nominate a more well-known character in English literature than that of the austere analytical detective Sherlock Holmes, created by Arthur Conan Doyle in the late 1880s. Holmes, alongside his friend and biographer Dr. John Watson, appeared in two initial novels and dozens of short stories serialized in popular magazines, attracting a devoted, almost fanatical following which continues to this day.The Hound of the Baskervilles, serialized in 1901¿1902, was the third novel featuring Holmes and Watson. Sherlock Holmes is consulted in his Baker Street apartment by Dr. Mortimer, a physician now living on the fringes of Dartmoor. He gives Holmes and Watson an account of a centuries-old legend, in which a hell-hound slaughtered the debauched heir of the Baskerville family who had been in lecherous pursuit of an innocent maiden across the moor. The same hound is reputed to have harrowed several of the subsequent heirs to the estate.This ancient story might be dismissed as mere fancy, but for the fact that the elderly Sir Charles Baskerville recently died in very mysterious circumstances, apparently fleeing in terror from something which came from the moor. Dr. Mortimer is concerned that the new heir, Sir Henry, just returned from Canada, may be at risk from this supernatural beast. Holmes is intrigued, but being too busy to go himself, sends Dr. Watson to accompany Sir Henry to the ancestral home on Dartmoor and to report anything suspicious.The Hound of the Baskervilles is arguably the best, and certainly the most popular, of Doyle¿s novels featuring his iconic detective. It has been translated into almost every language in the world and been the basis of dozens of movies (starting as early as 1914), radio plays and comic books.

This enthralling collection of short stories features Arthur Conan Doyle's 12 favourite Sherlock Holmes tales. In 1927, The Strand Magazine, which published many of the Sherlock Holmes stories, ran a competition for fans to guess the author's own favourite tales. In the March of that year, the magazine published an article by Arthur Conan Doyle listing his top 12 Sherlock stories and why. This collection features all those short stories alongside Conan Doyle's article and the original illustrations by Sidney Paget and Charles R. Macauley. Delve into the dark world of Victorian London with this volume and experience the very best of Sherlock Holmes. The stories featured in this collection include: - The Speckled Band - The Red-Headed League - The Dancing Men - The Final Problem - A Scandal in Bohemia - The Empty House

This unique collection of Arthur Conan Doyle's short stories features the three unofficial Sherlock Holmes tales that heavily allude to the remarkable consulting detective. Between 1887 and 1898, Arthur Conan Doyle wrote three short stories that are considered unofficial Sherlock Holmes tales despite not mentioning the famous detective by name. 'Uncle Jeremy's Household' is often referred to as the prototype for the Holmes stories, due to the strong resemblance between the main characters (Hugh Lawrence and John H. Thurston) and Sherlock Holmes and John H. Watson. 'The Story of the Man with the Watches' alludes to a 'well-known criminal investigator', and 'The Story of the Lost Special' references an 'amateur reasoner' who quotes one of Holmes' most famous lines. Discover new layers to Arthur Conan Doyle's dark and mysterious Sherlockian world in this fascinating collection of his lesser-known work. This new volume from Read & Co. Books features a specially commissioned introduction.

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, published in 1894, is the second collection of Sherlock Holmes stories published in book form. All of the stories included in the collection previously appeared in The Strand Magazine between 1892 and 1893. They purport to be the accounts given by Dr. John Watson of the more remarkable cases in which his friend Mr. Sherlock Holmes becomes involved in his role as a consulting detective.This collection has several memorable features. The first British edition omitted the story ¿The Adventure of the Cardboard Box¿ which appeared in The Strand in 1893. This story did appear in the very first American edition of the collection, immediately following ¿Silver Blaze,¿ but it was quickly replaced by a revised edition which omitted it. Apparently these omissions were at the specific request of the author, who was concerned that its inclusion of the theme of adultery would make it unsuitable for younger readers. The story was, however, eventually included in the later collection His Last Bow, but it is out of chronological position there. In this Standard Ebooks edition (as in most modern British editions), we have included this story to restore it to its correct chronological place in the Holmes canon.The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes is also notable because by this time Doyle had tired of the Holmes character and decided to kill him off, so that this was intended to be the last Holmes collection ever to be published. It contains several of the best-known Holmes stories, including ¿Silver Blaze,¿ ¿The Musgrave Ritual,¿ and ¿The Greek Interpreter,¿ which introduces Sherlock¿s brother Mycroft; and of course ¿The Final Problem¿ in which Holmes struggles with his nemesis Professor Moriarty.

The Return of Sherlock Holmes is the third collection of Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, published in 1905. It includes stories published in The Strand Magazine in 1903 and 1904, bringing Holmes for the first time into the twentieth century.Doyle had memorably ¿killed off¿ Holmes in a struggle with his nemesis Professor Moriarty in the story ¿The Final Problem,¿ which had appeared in 1893 (and which is included in the collection The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes). Intense public demand for more Holmes material after that had led to Doyle writing the novel The Hound of the Baskervilles, and then finally to return to writing Holmes short stories once more. The first story in this collection, ¿The Adventure of the Empty House¿ finds Dr. Watson united once again with his old friend Sherlock Holmes, who explains how and why he faked his death at Reichenbach Falls.Apart from the leading story which ¿resurrects¿ Holmes, this collection contains a number of the best-known Holmes stories. ¿The Adventure of the Dancing Men¿ has Holmes deciphering a cryptogram to solve a mystery; encountering a callous blackmailer in ¿The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton;¿ working out why cheap busts of Napoleon are being shattered all over London; and possibly averting a major European war in ¿The Adventure of the Second Stain.¿

"The Refugees" written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is a historical novel set in the late 17th century that follows the story of Amory de Catinat, a Huguenot guardsman in the service of King Louis XIV of France, and Amos Green, an American visitor to France. Amory is a loyal and skilled soldier, but his faith puts him in danger in a country where Protestantism is viewed with suspicion. Amos, on the other hand, is a carefree and curious traveler who is drawn to Amory's bravery and loyalty. When Amory's family is persecuted for their religious beliefs, he is forced to flee France with his wife and child, becoming a refugee in England. Amos accompanies Amory on his journey, and the two men develop a close bond as they navigate the dangers of being displaced in a foreign land. How will they spend their life being a refugee? Are they both going to get a normal and healthy life ahead? To get this answer, readers should go through "The Refugees" which is a thrilling adventure story that explores themes of loyalty, faith, and the struggles of refugees.

The Sign of the Four, initially titled just The Sign of Four, is the second of Doyle¿s novels to feature the analytical detective Sherlock Holmes and his faithful companion and chronicler Dr. Watson. The action takes place not long after the events in A Study in Scarlet, the first Holmes novel, and that prior case is referred to frequently at the beginning of this one.Holmes is consulted by a young woman about a strange communication she has received. Ten years previously her father Captain Morstan went missing the night after returning from service in the Far East before his daughter could travel to meet him. He has never been seen or heard of ever since. But a few years after his disappearance, Miss Morstan was startled to receive a precious pearl in the mail, with no sender¿s name or address and no accompanying message. A similar pearl has arrived each subsequent year. Finally, she received an anonymous letter begging her to come to a meeting outside a London theater that very evening. She may bring two companions. Naturally, Holmes and Watson accompany the young woman to the mysterious meeting, and are subsequently involved in the unveiling of a complex story of treasure and betrayal.

The Valley of Fear is the final novel in the Sherlock Holmes series by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The story originally appeared over several issues of the monthly Strand Magazine in late 1914 before being published as a standalone work. While Doyle would continue to publish Sherlock Holmes short stories until 1927, The Valley of Fear remains Holmes¿ final long-form appearance.In the novel, Holmes and his assistant Watson are called to assist with an investigation into the murder of John Douglas, a man shot in his own home at point-blank range with a shotgun. As evidence is examined and witnesses within the house are questioned, Holmes uncovers holes in testimonies and a connection to a secret society that no one wishes to discuss.

His Last Bow: Some Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes is the fourth collection of Sherlock Holmes stories published by Arthur Conan Doyles. It begins with a preface by Dr. John Watson, supposedly written in 1917, assuring the reader that Holmes is still alive but living in quiet retirement in Sussex.This collection contains the well-known stories ¿The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans,¿ in which Holmes has to track down stolen plans for a new kind of submarine; and ¿The Adventure of the Devil¿s Foot¿ in which a Cornish family is found one morning driven mad or dead, with expressions of horror on their faces. The titular story ¿His Last Bow¿ is set on the very eve of the outbreak of the First World War, and involves Holmes and Watson coming out of retirement to defeat a German spy.

Cuando las grandes guerras de la Sucesión de España terminaron gracias al tratado de Utrecht, el inmenso número de corsarios que habían sido equipados por los bandos contendientes se encontraron sin ocupación. Algunos se dedicaron a las actividades del comercio normal, menos lucrativas que el corso; otros fueron absorbidos por las flotas pesqueras, y algunos, más temerarios, izaron la bandera negra en el palo de mesana y la bandera roja en el palo mayor, declarando por cuenta propia la guerra a toda la raza humana. Tripulados por gentes reclutadas entre todas las naciones, batían los mares y desaparecían de cuando en cuando para carenar el casco en alguna caleta solitaria, o desembarcaban para correrse una juerga en algún puerto muy aislado, en el que deslumbraban a sus habitantes con su prodigalidad y los horrorizaban con las brutalidades que cometían. Los piratas eran una amenaza constante en la costa de Coromandel, en Madagascar, en aguas africanas, y sobre todo en los mares de Indias Occidentales y de toda la América. Organizaban sus depredaciones con lujo insolente, adaptándose a las estaciones del año, acosando las costas de la Nueva Inglaterra durante el verano y bajando otra vez, cuando llegaba el invierno a los mares de las islas tropicales.

Hacéis bien, amigos míos, en tratarme con respeto, pues al honrarme a mí os honráis vosotros mismos y a la Francia entera. No es quien os habla un viejo militar de bigotes grises, que come su tortilla y bebe su vaso de vino; es una página de la historia, de la historia más gloriosa de nuestro país, que no ha sido igualada por ningún otro. Soy uno de los últimos de aquellos hombres admirables que antes de dejar de ser muchachos fueron militares veteranos; de aquellos que aprendieron antes a hacer uso de la espada que de la navaja de afeitar, y que durante más de cien batallas no permitieron ni una sola vez que el enemigo viese el color de sus mochilas. Más de veinte años pasamos enseñando a Europa a pelear, y aun cuando aprendió la lección, fue siempre el termómetro y jamás la bayoneta el que producía algún efecto en el más grande de los grandes ejércitos. En Berlín, en Nápoles, en Viena, en Lisboa, en Moscú, en todas partes hemos acuartelado nuestros caballos. Sí, amigos míos, lo repito: hacéis bien en mandar a vuestros hijos a saludarme, pues mis oídos han escuchado las dianas francesas y mis ojos han visto el orgulloso estandarte francés en sitios donde jamás ha llegado a escucharse ni a verse. Siempre recuerdo con placer aquellos gloriosos tiempos, y después de comer, al echar la siesta en mi butaca, veo desfilar por delante de mí las inmensas filas de guerreros: los cazadores con sus chaquetas verdes, los elegantes coraceros, los lanceros de Poniatowsky, los dragones con sus capotes blancos y los galantes granaderos.

Cuando uno estudia la psicología criminal, llega forzosamente a la conclusión de que la más peligrosa de todas las mentalidades es la del hombre desmesuradamente egoísta. Es este un hombre que ha perdido su sentido de la proporción. Su propia voluntad y su propio interés han borrado en él toda conciencia de sus obligaciones hacia la comunidad. El carácter impulsivo, los celos, la sed de venganza, engendran el crimen; pero el egoísmo llevado hasta la locura es el más peligroso y también el más odioso de sus progenitores. Sir Willoughby Patterne, el eterno prototipo de todos los egoístas, puede ser un personaje divertido e inofensivo a condición de que todo le vaya bien; pero basta con que le sea negado algo de lo que desea, para que de ello se deriven las más monstruosas consecuencias. Huxley ha dicho que en esta vida, uno está perpetuamente jugando una partida con un adversario invisible, que sólo deja sentir su presencia cuando uno comete una falta: entonces, le impone un castigo. El jugador que comete la falta de ser egoísta puede tener que pagar un precio terrible por ello. Pero hay algo inexplicable en las reglas de ese juego y es que algunos, que son sólo espectadores de la partida, pueden verse obligados a ayudarle a pagar. Lean la historia de William Godfrey Youngman, y vean lo difícil que es entender las reglas que rigen dichos castigos. Aprendan también que el egoísmo no es un pecadillo inofensivo, sino una malvada raíz capaz de producir los más monstruosos frutos. A unos sesenta kilómetros al sur de Londres, y cerca del balneario, bastante pasado de moda, de Tunbridge Wells, se halla la pequeña localidad de Wadhurst. Está situada en el condado de Sussex, aunque cerca de los confines del condado de Kent. Es una región de gran riqueza ganadera, y los granjeros son en ella una clase floreciente, pues se hallan lo bastante cerca de la metrópolis para beneficiarse del inmenso apetito de ésta. Entre esos granjeros vivía, en el año 1860, un tal Streeter, dueño de una pequeña granja y padre de una hermosa hija, Mary Wells Streeter.
