Les archives de Sherlock Holmes

by Arthur Conan Doyle

De 1921 à 1927, le père de Sherlock Holmes publie ses treize dernières nouvelles. Deux d'entre elles, entorse à la tradition, sont racontées à la première personne... par le célèbre détective lui-même ! Quant au Problème du pont de Thor, c'est tout simplement l'un des chefs-d'oeuvre de Conan Doyle. Celui-ci ne survivra que trois ans à L'Aventure de Shoscombe Old Place, ultime enquête de Holmes sur les traces d'un fémur humain retrouvé dans les cendres d'une chaudière...

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.
