Rate this book
Nel volume 1: I cinque semi d'arancia - Il pollice dell'ingegnere - Il mistero di Valle Boscombe. Questo primo volume presenta tre racconti in cui Sherlock Holmes, sempre insieme all'inseparabile Watson, deve districarsi su più fronti: un efferato omicidio sconvolge una tranquilla cittadina di campagna; un giovane ingegnere cade vittima della spietata ferocia di una banda di criminali; un tetro avvertimento che precede una serie di delitti inspiegabili. Tre casi in cui Sherlock Holmes dà prova di tutto il suo genio, riuscendo a trovare la soluzione ad ogni enigma, grazie al metodo scientifico e al suo inconfondibile fiuto.

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.
