Las mejores historias de Sherlock Holmes

by Arthur Conan Doyle

Sherlock Holmes is perhaps the most famous literary character in the world, a model of justice and cleverness as well as enigma and eccentricity. His fans find him odd and uncanny at times but absolutely irresistible. In a tribute to this beloved character and his creator, writer and Sherlockian, Luis Benítez has compiled the most exemplary Sherlock Holmes stories in this collection. It includes the novel that gave him recognition, A Study in Scarlet, the novel that best represents his personality, Silver Blaze, the novel in which he died, The Final Problem, and the novel that saw his “resurrection”, The Adventure of the Empty House.

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.
