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.

[Mir · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pues varios relatos de Sherlock Holmes. Aquí sale una de las historias más poco detectivescas (la de las semillas de naranja) y que menos me gustan, pero también dos de mis relatos favoritos (Liga de los Pelirrojos y El hombre del Labio Partido). También sale la historia de Irene Adler, a la que he cogido un poco de manía, pero por culpa de todas las adaptaciones de este libro en las que hacen que exista algún tipo de romance entre Sherlock e Irene que se hace bastante repetitivo y no se adapta a ninguno de los personajes, pero bueno.

È semplicemente geniale in ogni pagina, e ti tiene incollato fino alla fine con i suoi colpi di scena.
Linguaggio studiato nei minimi dettagli, neppure la traduzione ne diminuisce l’efficacia ed eleganza.
