È il mio primo incontro letterario con Sherlock。 Di lui conosco bene l’alter ego moderno - Benedict Cumberbatch -, oltre ovviamente alle conoscenze generali che partono da Basil l’Investigatopo (😅) e finiscono con praticamente tutte le storie poliziesche degli ultimi tempi。La raccolta comprende Uno studio in rosso, Il segno dei quattro, Il mastino dei Baskerville e La valle della paura。Il migliore secondo me è Il mastino dei Baskerville。 E adesso capisco perché di questo in particolare si trovin È il mio primo incontro letterario con Sherlock。 Di lui conosco bene l’alter ego moderno - Benedict Cumberbatch -, oltre ovviamente alle conoscenze generali che partono da Basil l’Investigatopo (😅) e finiscono con praticamente tutte le storie poliziesche degli ultimi tempi。La raccolta comprende Uno studio in rosso, Il segno dei quattro, Il mastino dei Baskerville e La valle della paura。Il migliore secondo me è Il mastino dei Baskerville。 E adesso capisco perché di questo in particolare si trovino libri dedicati。 Credo che la forza di questo caso sia nella leggenda del mastino, nella sua figura demoniaca, e soprattutto nell’ambientazione della brughiera, così affascinante, tetra e misteriosa。 L’ultimo racconto, La valle della paura, apre però uno degli scenari più importanti…la figura dell’arcinemico Moriarty, con un cliffhanger che invita a leggerne ancora!Da segnalare la struttura del racconto, che a volte prevede lunghi capitoli in cui si raccontano le storie dei personaggi, vittime o colpevoli。 Non mi hanno convinto in un primo momento ma in fondo posso dire che valgono la pena: sono una storia dentro la storia con cui l’autore ci permette di viaggiare con la mente lontano da Londra。 。。。more

Add to this, I'm so proud of myself that I prioritized reading Sherlock over watching it (for watching any series/movie after reading the book/work feels all the more wonderful; add to this no reader would say that the movie/series was better than the book) 。。。more

Era lo que había que investigar。 Mientras tanto el heredero de la mansión era un sobrino, HENRY BASKERVILLE。Dentro de la mansión parece que alguien no estaba muy contento。 Lo interesante es cómo termina la historia。。。。 。。。more

Amazing book I love reading sherlock holmes stories, So when I saw this book I immediately bought it, And I am glad that I purchased this book。 This book contains four novels A study in scarlet, The sign of four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, And The valley of fear。 These novels are pretty amazing to read。 This masterpiece is written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle。 If you are into detective/mystery novels this is a must-buy book。

Junaid

Ingenious stories。 The last one is incomplete though。

Shreya Anand

A classic of crime fiction。 Read it before you read anything else of this genre。

If you ever thought you could never get enough Sherlock Holmes, these are the books for you。 Three volumes of 20 pounds each, with the complete novels and short stories。 There is nearly as much annotation and commentary as the original text, and they are lavishly illustrated with drawings from the original stories and serializations and other material。 It is almost too much, but you can take or leave as much of the supplementary material as you want。

Ef þú hefur lesið Sherlock Holmes oft og manst eftir því hvernig allt endar er þetta kannski fínt。 Aðrir varist。 Það eru höskuldar í fótunótunum og inngangsköflunum。 Flestir pælingar óspennandi。 Ekki。

What a wonderful collection of stories! This was my first experience with the original Sherlock Holmes stories by Arther Conan Doyle, though I've seen plenty of recent adaptations in movies and television。 Sometimes, when reading older stories like these, I worry that the language or structure may make them difficult to understand, but this was not the case。The four novels contained in this collection were all excellent, with hardly a dull moment and packed full of witty dialogue and interesting What a wonderful collection of stories!

Just wow!Sherlock Holmes is a really famed character, he is the most popular detective in the pop culture and is the most portrayed movie character of all time。 But I had never read any Sherlock Homes before and the only Sherlock Holmes movie I had watched was "Sherlock Holmes by RDJ"。 Still this collection amazed me a lot!Most people read these books for the great character of Sherlock Holmes but the thing which I liked the most was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's storytelling。 Plus there were some other great characters too, one character which isn't mentioned much in the list of great characters by Conan Doyle yet I liked him very much was the protagonist of the second half of the last novel (John MacMurdo)。The first novel, A Study in Scarlet is a good novel though it's first half was extremely boring。 The transition to the second half was hard for me too but once I got into the second half, I realised it was much better than the first one。The second novel, The Sign of the Four is not a bad novel but it is not as good as other novels in this collection, according to me。 Also this book has some racist and sexist elements which make it unsuitable for some of today's readers, but I don't think that's something to criticize as it is also a product of it's time。The third novel, The Hound of the Baskervilles doesn't begins just after the events of the second novel, they are seperated by a bunch of short stories which aren't included in this collection。 That's actually a good thing because now the author doesn't waste time in strengthening the partnership of Holmes and Watson。 This novel is the best one in the collection and can be even read as a standalone。 It is in this very novel why I realised Sherlock Holmes is this popular。The fourth novel, The Valley of Fear is also seperated from the third novel by a bunch of short stories。 This novel's plot is similar to that of the first novel but better。 Unlike previous novels, it connects to the short stories and mentions some of the characters which don't appear in novels but only in short stories like Professor Moriarty。But to conclude, I'll say the book was amazing, the plus point of the book was story telling, so was its negative point Sir Doyle over explains the situation which isn't needed。 But overall I can say every one can read this book even if you saw BBC Sherlock or Sherlock Holmes by RDJ you will find many interesting things。 。。。more

Det er lækker udgave at have i hånden, stor, tung, flot, men da jeg gik i gang med at læse den bed jeg mere mærke i ting jeg ville ønske var anderledes end ting jeg kunne lide。 Noterne og illustrationerne er for forstyrrende og kunne med fordel samles på den højre side så at man altid havde originaltekst til venstre og ekstra-materiale til højre, i stedet er det lidt et hullet kludetæppe at sidde med。
