Sherlock holmes non è solo il personaggio più famoso della fiction gialla, ma il personaggio più famoso di tutta la fiction. "holmes ha un'intelligenza senza tempo che lo pone di gran lunga, spalle e cacciatore di cervi, al di sopra di tutti gli altri detective" alexander mccall smith ________________ questo volume completo contiene quattro romanzi e cinquantasei racconti sul detective più coinvolgente di tutti i tempi, con una prefazione della scrittrice di gialli ruth rendell. Sherlock holmes, insieme al suo fedele aiutante, il dottor john h. Watson, dimostra di essere il detective per eccellenza. Di volta in volta, il suo straordinario ingegno e coraggio si scontrano con spie straniere, ricattatori, seguaci di sette, ladruncoli, assassini, truffatori, poliziotti (sia stupidi che intelligenti) e il suo acerrimo nemico moriarty. Continuando ad affascinare milioni di persone con adattamenti cinematografici e televisivi, la creazione di arthur conan doyle ha ispirato lettori e scrittori di storie poliziesche per oltre un secolo. Unisciti a loro con questa raccolta. _______________ 'l'immenso talento, la passione e la brillantezza letteraria che conan doyle ha portato alla sua opera gli conferiscono un posto unico nella letteratura inglese. Personalmente, camminerei per un milione di miglia con stivali stretti solo per leggere le sue lettere al lattaio' stephen fry 'ora, come ai suoi tempi, tassisti, statisti, accademici e bambini cenciosi siedono incantati ai suoi piedi. Non c'è da stupirsi, quindi, se l'abbinamento holmes e watson ha scatenato più imitatori di qualsiasi altro duo nella letteratura. John le carré

Good Reads """Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was born the third of ten siblings on 22 May 1859 in Edinburgh, Scotland. His father, Charles Altamont Doyle, a talented illustrator, was born in England of Irish descent, and his mother, born Mary Foley, was Irish. They were married in 1855. Although he is now referred to as ""Conan Doyle"", the origin of this compound surname (if that is how he meant it to be understood) is uncertain. His baptism record in the registry of St Mary's Cathedral in Edinburgh gives 'Arthur Ignatius Conan' as his Christian name, and simply 'Doyle' as his surname. It also names Michael Conan as his godfather. At the age of nine Conan Doyle was sent to the Roman Catholic Jesuit preparatory school, Hodder Place, Stonyhurst. He then went on to Stonyhurst College, leaving in 1875. From 1876 to 1881 he studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh. This required that he provide periodic medical assistance in the towns of Aston (now a district of Birmingham) and Sheffield. While studying, Conan Doyle began writing short stories. His first published story appeared in ""Chambers's Edinburgh Journal"" before he was 20. Following his graduation, he was employed as a ship's doctor on the SS Mayumba during a voyage to the West African coast. He completed his doctorate on the subject of tabes dorsalis in 1885. In 1885 Conan Doyle married Louisa (or Louise) Hawkins, known as ""Touie"". She suffered from tuberculosis and died on 4 July 1906. The following year he married Jean Elizabeth Leckie, whom he had first met and fallen in love with in 1897." Good Reads. Codice articolo 385-2023
