Sherlock Holmes Geschichten

by Arthur Conan Doyle, Margarethe Nedem (Translator)

Rätselhaft verschwundene blaue Riesendiamanten, großangelegter Betrug an Rothaarigen, schurkische Stiefväter, die mittels indischer Giftschlangen ihren Schutzbefohlenen ans Leben wollen – das sind kleine Fische für Meisterdetektiv Sherlock Holmes und sein getreues Alter ego Dr. Watson. Wer aber kennt die intimen Geheimnisse des viktorianischen Spür-Genies und seine gefährliche Schwäche für Irene Adler, Femme fatale, die um ein Haar Böhmens Thron ins Wanken gebracht hätte? Eine Auswahl der schönsten Sherlockiana für Liebhaber.

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.

I miss a Moriarty story, but at least there's Irene Adler. Very cool and exciting short stories that really remind one of Detective Conan. I'd be happy to read more Sherlock Holmes.
