Doyle, Arthur Conan - Le avventure di Sherlock Holmes - Language: Italian, Novel - Format: ePub
Il più popolare detective di tutta la letteratura mondiale, Sherlock Holmes, creato nel 1887 dalla geniale penna di Arthur Conan Doyle, ha sempre un solo scopo: risolvere con l’arma della sua intelligenza gli enigmi che gli si (More) presentano, anche quando sembrano assolutamente inespugnabili. Fedele alla sua «scienza della deduzione», che sfrutta ogni minimo indizio, segno o dettaglio per trovare la soluzione, affronta crimini ingarbugliati e appassionanti con freddezza ed estrema razionalità. Le avventure di Sherlock Holmes riunisce dodici casi, uno più complesso dell’altro, in cui il celebre investigatore deve salvare la vita di un uomo o il patrimonio di una banca o una donna in pericolo, ricorrendo anche a travestimenti (da prete, da marinaio o da mendicante). Immancabilmente, al suo fianco c’è il dottor Watson, amico e biografo, sbalordito quanto il lettore dalle infallibili capacità deduttive di Holmes. Arthur Conan Doyle nacque a Edimburgo nel 1859. Benché il suo nome rimanga indissolubilmente legato a quello di Sherlock Holmes, lo scrittore ebbe anche altri interessi, tra cui la storia, il giornalismo e soprattutto lo spiritismo. Nel 1903 venne insignito del titolo di baronetto. Morì nel 1930.

The crime baffles the Scotland Yard detectives, but of course Holmes solves it easily. In the second half of the story, the scene shifts to Utah as we learn the murderer's history. The action returns to London in the last two chapters. In his first adventure, Holmes demonstrates many of the traits for which he later became well known: meticulous study of a crime scene, brilliant deductive reasoning, aptitude for chemistry and music, and the somewhat annoying habit of withholding crucial facts from Watson (and consequently the reader) until the conclusion of the case.

Sherlock Holmes, a fictional character of the late 19th and early 20th century created by Scottish author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is a brilliant London-based "consulting detective" famous for his intellectual prowess (More) and renowned for his enormous scope of observation, his astute logical reasoning and forensic science skills in solving difficult crimes.

A collection of twelve short stories featuring Conan Doyle's legendary detective, originally published as single stories in Strand Magazine and subsequently collected into a single volume. There is not always a crime committed nor (More) a culprit to find, and when there is, Holmes does not invariably get his man. However, his extraordinary powers of deduction generally solve the mystery, often to the discomfiture of the official police force. Holmes is a man of many facets, and I do not share the common perception of Holmes as cold and humourless: his sense of fun can be sparkling, and there are moments of rare pathos.
