Quelques erreurs de traduction et une ou deux tournures anglaises bizarre. Un peu étrange d'utiliser le personnage de Sherlock Holmes mais histoire sympa. Celle autour des crimes de Jack l'éventreur est pas mal tournée.

February 5, 2022Both short stories were pleasant enough.
The Sherlock Holmes story was written in a style that suits the era and genre, but the plot was a little simple.
The Jack the Ripper one used an interesting angle, banking on the fear that women must have felt back then and underlining the abuse women could experience from their husband. But the style itself felt a little weak for my taste.

Le format bilingue aide à progresser en anglais, même si le vocabulaire du 18e siècle n'est pas très adapté pour les conversations quotidiennes.
Les histoires sont simples et efficaces mais l'intrigue est prévisible... Dommage
