Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir

First published in 1890, The Sign of Four is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's second book starring legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. The story is complex, involving a secret between four ex-cons from India and a hidden treasure. More complex than the first Holmes novel, The Sign of Four also introduces the detective's drug habit and leaves breadcrumbs for the reader that lead toward the final resolution.

The novel is mainly set in Dartmoor, in Devon, a county in western England.Conan Doyle developed this novel shortly after returning from South Africa, where he worked as a clinical volunteer at a Bloemfontein Hospital. He was helped in writing by a Daily Express journalist known as Bertram Fletcher Robinson, who gave him information for the novel. The story tells Holmes and Watson chasing the ghost of a dog that stalks the city. Meet also the steppe wolf, it's a good book.Dr. James Mortimer asks Sherlock Holmes for a recommendation after the death of his friend, Sir Charles Baskerville. He was found dead on his Devonshire property. Mortimer is now afraid of Sir Charles's nephew and sole beneficiary, Sir Henry Baskerville is the new Baskerville Hall teacher. Know the Da Vinci code you will surely like. Death was attributed to a heart attack, but Mortimer suspects, because Sir Charles died with an expression of horror on his face.The Baskerville family has allegedly been under a curse since the Civil War era. Holmes meets Sir Henry, a newcomer from Canada. Sir Henry received an anonymous note, cut and pasted from newspaper, warning him to leave the moors of Baskerville, and one of his new boots inexplicably missing in his hotel room in London. Holmes and Dr. Watson follow him back to his hotel and watches a man following him in a taxi. Holmes examines Dr. Mortimer's cane.Barrymore and his wife, who also works at Baskerville Hall, want to leave the property soon. Watson hears a woman crying at night; it is obvious to him that it was Mrs. Barrymore, but her husband denies it. Watson cannot find any evidence that Barrymore was in Devon on the day of the persecution in London. He meets a brother and sister who live nearby. When his brother is out of earshot, Miss Stapleton confuses Watson with Sir Henry and warns him to leave.She and Sir Henry later meet and fall in love quickly, which awakens Stapleton's anger; He then apologizes and invites Sir Henry to dinner with him a few days later. Barrymore arouses another suspicion when Watson and Sir Henry catch him at night with a candle in an empty room. He refuses to answer his questions, but Mrs. Barrymore confesses that Selden is her brother, and her husband is indicating that they have left supplies. They hear a scream and discover Selden's body, killed by a fall.Initially he was mistaken for Sir Henry, whose old clothes were on. In Baskerville Hall, Holmes notices a resemblance between Stapleton and a portrait of Hugo Baskerville. Then he notes that Stapleton could be an unknown member of the Baskerville family, who sought to reclaim Baskerville's wealth by eliminating his relatives. Holmes and Watson travel to Stapleton's house, where Sir Henry is having dinner. He is rescued from a hound that Stapleton releases while Sir Henry returns home walking down the moor.Shooting the dead animal in the fight, Sherlock reveals that it was a perfectly deadly dog: a mixture of hound and mastiff, painted with phosphorus to give it a hellish appearance. Miss Stapleton is found bound and gagged inside the house, while Stapleton apparently dies in an attempt to reach his hiding place in a nearby mine. They also find Sir Henry's boot, which was used to give the dog the scent of Sir Henry.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

En 1893, Arthur Conan Doyle publicó el relato "El problema final", en el que el autor decidía poner fin a las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes matando a su carismático protagonista, cansado de ser eclipsado por su propia creación.Sin embargo, Doyle no pudo predecir el eco que tendría ese relato. Sherlock Holmes ya era uno de los personajes literarios más famosos de Inglaterra y el mundo, y su muerte llevó a un auténtico escándalo. Doyle recibió miles de cartas que iban de las súplicas a las amenazas en las que se pedía que resucitara a Holmes. Tras nueve años de ausencia, Doyle finalmente accedió a los deseos de sus lectores, y a partir de 1903 publicó una nueva serie de relatos, que narraban la vuelta de Holmes al mundo de los vivos.El lector encontrará en esta edición siete relatos correspondientes al período de regreso de Holmes, entre ellos algunos tan remarcables como "La aventura de la casa vacía" (en el que se narra cómo el detective sobrevivió a su supuesta muerte), "La aventura de los muñecos danzantes" o "La aventura de los seis napoleones", todos ellos con el característico estilo que han convertido las historias de Sherlock Holmes y John Watson en clásicos inmortales, o, quizá en un género literario en sí mismo.Esta edición anotada se acompaña con 35 ilustraciones de Syndey Paget, que ayudarán al lector a sumergirse en las historias y el ambiente victoriano en el que vivía el mejor detective de la historia.

Nuevas Aventuras de Sherlock Holmes

The Hound of the Baskervilles is the third of the four crime novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring the detective Sherlock Holmes. Originally serialised in The Strand Magazine from August 1901 to April 1902, it is set largely on Dartmoor in Devon in England's West Country and tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome, diabolical hound of supernatural origin. Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. Watson investigate the case. This was the first appearance of Holmes since his apparent death in "The Final Problem", and the success of The Hound of the Baskervilles led to the character's eventual revival.

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The Valley of Terror is a novel starring Sherlock Holmes and written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This novel was first published in the Strand Magazine between September 1914 and May 1915. The first edition in book format was published in New York on February 27, 1915. The name of The Valley of Terror is a translation of the name of a valley in the south of France. During the time of the crusades this valley was popularized by the Cathars, and some believe that the Holy Grail got there from the Holy Land. Actually, The Valley of Terror is not a novel but two set together. The two novels that compose it, The tragedy of Birlstone and The chirrioneros (, can be read separately from each other. Although the protagonist is the same and the events of the first are a consequence of the second, both have total independence. two factorsFirst, the structure of the book that is divided into two parts of the same number of chapters and similar length, in addition to the essential epilogue. Secondly, that both parties, although Holmes appears in one and not in the other, are excellent. I have to mention that Los Chirrioneros, could figure itself as one of the best detective fictions ever written.
