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.

Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes son excelentes

[Álvaro · Rating 5 out of 5]

Definitely my favorite book.
A thrilling adventure that takes you to an incredible adventure with Sherlock and his fellow friend Dr. Watson.
With some information of Arthur Conan Doyle at the beginning I just want to read more of his stories.

[Iván Olhaff · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fascinante libro sobre unos de los detectives más populares de la historia.
Este libro contiene 3 de los 4 relatos largos de Sherlock Holmes y 12 de los 56 relatos cortos. Sin duda los 3 casos de mayor duración superan a los demás, pues un par estos últimos sufren de apresuramiento y simpleza que contrastan con el verdadero misterio e incluso un poco de terror que manejan los demás.
Envolvente, apasasionante, mistrioso y a la vez simple una vez que se nos cuenta cómo es que el Sr. Holmes logró descifrar lo que parecían grandes misterios, no sin un pequeño toque de humor muy atinado.

Sherlock Holmes no es para mi. No pude terminarlo, solo me faltó la última novela.
