Sherlock Holmes, detective

by Arthur Conan Doyle, Gonzalo Navaza (Translator), Francisco Bedoya (Translator)

Overview

Sherlock Holmes, detective reúne cinco relatos protagonizados polo agudo detective de Baker Street e o seu amigo, o doutor Watson. Neles, Conan Doyle condensa o xénero detectivesco en estado puro, presentando unha incógnita en termos sempre interesantes e mantendo a tensión narrativa mediante unha atinada dose de acción e sorpresa, salferida arreo dun irónico e requintado humor británico.

About the Author

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was both a doctor and a believer in spirits, which may partly explain why his Sherlock Holmes is one of literature's most beloved detectives: Holmes always approaches his cases with the gentility and logic of a scientist, but the stories are suffused with an aura of the supernatural. Narrated by devoted assistant Dr. John H. Watson, Holmes's adventures were so addictive that fans protested the master deducer's "death" in 1893 and Doyle had to resurrect him.
