A ciclista solitária e outras histórias

by Arthur Conan Doyle, Jorge Ritter (translator)

"A ciclista solitária" contém as seis primeiras histórias das doze que foram publicadas por Conan Doyle em 1905, sob o título de "The Return of Sherlock Holmes". Em 1893, Conan Doyle havia decidio "matar" o seu mais célebre personagem, o detetive Holmes, na última história do livro Memórias de Sherlock Holmes. As histórias de "A ciclista solitária" atestam a volta do mais amado detetive da literatura. Ele não morrera em Reichenbach Falls, conforme é sugerido em Memórias. Está muito vivo e pronto para desvendar mais uma série de mistérios intrigantes, na companhia de seu fiel escudeiro, o dr. Watson.

About the author

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a Scottish writer and physician. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction.

Doyle was a prolific writer. In addition to the Holmes stories, his works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger, and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement" (1884), helped to popularise the mystery of the brigantine Mary Celeste, found drifting at sea with no crew member aboard.
