The Complete Sherlock Holmes Zusammenfassung

The Complete Sherlock Holmes Arthur Conan Doyle

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY P.D. JAMES

This book contains all the investigations and adventures of the world's most popular detective, Sherlock Holmes. From 'The Adventure of the Gloria Scott' to 'His Last Bow' we follow the illustrious career of this quintessential British hero from his university days to his final case. His efforts to uncover the truth take him all over the world and into conflict with all manner of devious criminals and dangerous villains, but thankfully his legendary powers of deduction, and his faithful companion Dr Watson, are more than up to the challenge.

The Complete Sherlock Holmes Bewertungen

Arthur Conan Doyle is unique in simultaneously bringing the curtain down on an era and raising one on another, ushering in a genre of writing that, while imitated and expanded, has never been surpassed -- Stephen Fry
Sherlock Holmes is the very foundation stone of the edifice that is crime fiction * The Times *
I read these stories when I was a child and discussed them endlessly with my grandfather: one of my earliest literary memories. I know all the solutions off by heart now but it doesn't matter because the brilliance of the stories lies in the relationship between Holmes and Watson, which is both funny and touching -- Jonathan Coe * Sunday Express *
Now, as in his lifetime, cab drivers, statesmen, academics, and raggedy-arsed children sit spellbound at his feet -proof, if proof were needed, that Doyle's modesty of language conceals a profound tolerance of the human complexity... No wonder, then, if the pairing of Holmes and Watson has triggered more imitators than any other duo in literature. Contemporary cop dramas draw on them repeatedly -- John Le Carre * The Times *
Too much Holmes is no more likely than too much foie gras and no less desirable... Will delight his fans -- Oliver Marre * Observer *
