I misteri di Sherlock Holmes

by Arthur Conan Doyle

"Come può Sherlock Holmes appassionare ancora? Il suo personaggio più acclamato, alla faccia di tutti, continua a riscuotere successo. La risposta potrebbe essere elementare, ma il punto è che Sherlock Holmes sa osservare. Capacità rara, soprattutto oggi che i nostri occhi sono abituati a pascolare sui monitor di palmari e cellulari, mentre intorno a noi il mondo accade." (dalla Prefazione di Lorenza Ghinelli) Età di da 11 anni.

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.
