Testamentul lui Sherlock Holmes

by Arthur Conan Doyle

Overview

Ultimele aventuri ale celebrului detectiv

De la macabra si morbida Aventura cu Copita Dracului si pana la cazul straniu din Disparitia Lady-ei Frances Carfax, cele opt povestiri ce cuprind Testamentul lui Sherlock Holmes par mai intunecate si mai tulburatoare decat povestirile precedente ale lui Conan Doyle cu Sherlock Holmes. Spre deosebire de povestirile anterioare, ele se refera la unele memorii de dupa pensionarea lui Holmes. Ultima povestire prezinta un epilog al carierei lui Holmes, cand la varsta de 60 de ani, este chemat sa lucreze ca spion pentru Anglia in pregatirile acesteia pentru razboiul din Europa.

Aceste cazuri, demonstreaza ca Conan Doyle a stiut cum sa-l tina pe Holmes in pas cu schimbarile politice ale vremii.

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.
