Sherlock Holmes. Põnev kuritegelike juhtumite raamat

by Arthur Conan Doyle, Matti Piirimaa (Translator), Linda Laur (Editor)

Millised on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’i kirjutatud Sherlock Holmesi lugudest kõige põnevamad? Selle kohta lähevad arvamused ilmselt lahku, sest iga Sherlocki lugu pakub lugejale midagi köitvat. Raske on mitte vaimustuda tippvormis Sherlock Holmesist, kes tõrjub oma hea sõbra doktor Watsoni järelduse talle omase sirgjoonelisusega: „Kui ma ütlesin, et innustasite mind, siis tahan siiralt öelda, et teie möödalaskmiste märkamine juhatas mind tõe suunas.“ Holmesist võib ikka ja jälle vaimustusse sattuda ka siis, kui olete tema lugusid palju kordi varemgi nautinud. Kui te aga ei ole Holmesi maailmas varem viibinud, siis ootab teid eest kadestamisväärselt põnev retk.

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.
