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.

Leer a Sir Arthur es volver a las aventuras de mi infancia.
Casos interesantes con resoluciones que sólo Holmes puede hacer.
Es el investigador policial más conocido de la historia.
Como bonus, en éste volumen vuelve de la muerte. Un clásico.
Que más decir ?Como no quererlo? Como no leerlo?

Although still very enjoyable, certainly the Reichenbach falls had an effect on Holmes and Watson, since these stories don't share the claustrophobic Victorian wonder of the previous tales.
An interesting thing to these stories is that they play with the format a lot more, as these sorts of 'returns' tend to. Previous tales are very careful not to tamper too much with the formula, whereas for a lot of these stories, the formula is thrown out of the window. Holmes, in the final tale, for example, takes part in a case (which is immensely dissatisfying, might I add) which staves off European war. Often the stories just stray that wrong side of the line of ridiculousness that Conan Doyle was so fond of skirting. One might even argue that its his distaste with having to resurrect his detective that makes him so potentially destructive to his legacy (and why he leaves him in the countryside keeping bees).
Still, there is certainly still magic in this collection and it's definitely worth some time if you haven't read these, often lesser known stories, before.

Sherlock Holmes es un maniático solitario cuya vida privada está plagada de innumerables vicios: la heroína, el violín, su ego y, principalmente, los desafíos intelectuales de un importante crimen no resuelto. A pesar de la comprensible antipatía que despierta no sólo entre el hampa, sino en el mismo Scotland Yard, sus aventuras han sido salvadas del olvido por su incondicional amigo Watson, personaje tan convenientemente ficticio como el propio Holmes, pero bastante más llevadero para la gente y aparentemente el único capaz de soportarlo por mucho tiempo.
