Sherlock Holmes relatos 1

Rate this book
El presente volumen recoge las dos primeras colecciones de relatos del canon holmesiano: Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes (1892) y Las memorias de Sherlock Holmes (1894). Aquí se dan cita algunos de los más célebres cuentos de misterio protagonizados por el célebre detective y su ayudante, el doctor Watson: «La aventura de la banda de lunares», en el que las únicas pistas son las últimas palabras de una mujer y un inexplicable silbido en la noche; «Las cinco pepitas de naranja», donde una carta desvela una conspiración atlántica; o «El problema final», clímax genuino de las hazañas del personaje, que se enfrentará dramáticamente con su perverso archienemigo, el profesor Moriarty, en la catarata de Reichenbach.

Esta edición, que se abre con un estudio introductorio de Andreu Jaume, pretende homenajear el empeño editorial de Esther Tusquets, quien tradujo magistralmente estos relatos en su proyecto de publicación del canon holmesiano al completo.

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.
