Arthur Conan Doyle Libros

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle escribió cuatro novelas con Holmes como protagonista y Watson como narrador: Estudio en escarlata, El signo de los cuatro, El sabueso de los Baskerville y El valle del terror. Su lectura resulta valiosa tanto por el placer que nos procura una aventura interesante y bien contada como porque, a través de ella, recibimos enseñanzas adicionales de historia y geografía y, sobre todo, de técnica narrativa y lógica de la investigación. Nos queda, pues, nuestra tarea de lectores: seguir paso a paso —y de la mano de un excelso narrador, Watson— a Sherlock Holmes en cada una de sus observaciones y razonamientos, hasta lograr resolver los misterios más insondables. Se trata de una aventura que pone en tensión nervios y músculos, y que abre nuestras mentes hacia la investigación de lo cognoscible y la imaginación de lo imposible.

2nd volume to box set: 8489693811Sherlock Holmes es fuerte y atlético, estupendo boxeador y excelente tirador de revólver; conoce los secretos de la lucha japonesa, es altivo con los poderosos y se muestra lleno de bondad con los humildes y los afligidos.El doctor Watson vive en un perpetuo asombro ante la capacidad de observación y de lógica rigurosa de Sherlock Holmes; le considera el mejor cerebro del mundo, ya que es capaz de hacer un proceso deductivo a partir de las pistas más insignificantes para llegar a resolver el caso más complicado.

Doce casos apasionantes transcurren desde el momento en que Holmes y Watson se conocen hasta el matrimonio del doctor, quien abandona al detective por la medicina. Las aventuras del dúo entre 1882 y 1890 presentan crímenes que, aunque a primera vista parecen sencillos, desafían todas las capacidades de Holmes. Algunos casos son faltas morales y otros delitos leves, lo que permite explorar la dimensión ética del detective. En uno de los relatos, Holmes se encuentra con Irene Adler, una mujer que lo marcará profundamente y con quien comparte una afinidad intelectual. Conan Doyle retrata a Holmes como un maestro del disfraz y un razonador excepcional, pero también muestra su lado caótico como consumidor de estupefacientes, capaz de ver intrigas donde Watson solo percibe banalidades. La edición de Alberto Laiseca recrea perfectamente los ambientes y respeta la ironía del detective, manteniendo el interés de estas inmortales aventuras. La obra es relevante hoy gracias a las recientes adaptaciones en series y películas. Laiseca, un apasionado de estas historias, ofrece una edición accesible que permite disfrutar de los casos de este personaje único. Las pistas, los sospechosos y las conversaciones entre Holmes y Watson se multiplican, llenas de reflexiones intrigantes.

These are four books written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and published by the Book-of-the-Month Club in 1994. They all match each other -- hardcovers with dust jackets.

El presente volumen recoge las dos primeras colecciones de relatos del canon holmesiano: Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes (1892) y Las memorias de Sherlock Holmes (1894). Aquí se dan cita algunos de los más célebres cuentos de misterio protagonizados por el célebre detective y su ayudante, el doctor Watson: «La aventura de la banda de lunares», en el que las únicas pistas son las últimas palabras de una mujer y un inexplicable silbido en la noche; «Las cinco pepitas de naranja», donde una carta desvela una conspiración atlántica; o «El problema final», clímax genuino de las hazañas del personaje, que se enfrentará dramáticamente con su perverso archienemigo, el profesor Moriarty, en la catarata de Reichenbach. Esta edición, que se abre con un estudio introductorio de Andreu Jaume, pretende homenajear el empeño editorial de Esther Tusquets, quien tradujo magistralmente estos relatos en su proyecto de publicación del canon holmesiano al completo. «La vida es infinitamente más extraña que cuanto pueda inventar la mente humana.»

The life of Arthur Conan Doyle illustrates the excitement and diversity of the Victorian age unlike that of any other figure of the period. In his autobiography, he wrote: I have had a life which, for variety and romance, could, I think, hardly be exceeded. He was not wrong. But Conan Doyle was also a Victorian with a twist, a man of tensions and contradictions. He was fascinated by travel, exploration, invention, and indeed all things modern and technological; yet at the same time very traditional, voicing support for values such as chivalry, duty, constancy, and honour. By the time of his death he was a celebrity, achieving worldwide fame for his creation of the rationalist, scientific super-detective Sherlock Holmes; but his later decades were taken up with advocacy of the new religion of Spiritualism, in which he became a devoted believer.

El presente volumen recoge las cuatro novelas protagonizadas por Sherlock Holmes, el emblemático y perspicaz detective del 221 B de Baker Street: Estudio en escarlata (1887), El signo de los cuatro (1890), El perro de los Baskerville (1902) y El valle del miedo (1915). A lo largo de estas páginas, y con la ayuda inestimable del doctor Watson, Holmes recorrerá las calles de un Londres victoriano convertido en un laberinto de pistas falsas, resolverá una intriga originada en la India colonial, desentrañará el misterio oculto tras una antigua maldición familiar en los páramos de Dartmoor y se enfrentará a la organización de Moriarty en uno de sus casos más complejos. Una mezcla explosiva de crimen, suspense y venganza. Esta edición, que se abre con un estudio introductorio de Andreu Jaume, pretende homenajear el empeño editorial de Esther Tusquets, cuyo proyecto de publicar el canon holmesiano quedó interrumpido. Juan Camargo, experto en novela de masas europea y americana, ha completado la labor traductora. «No existe ni ha existido hombre alguno que aportara al descubrimiento del crimen tantos estudios y tanto talento natural como yo.»

Doyle crea el personaje de Sherlock Holmes y sabe mantener el interés y maneja la técnica narrativa policial a la perfección

"Estudio en Escarlata", de Arthur Conan Doyle, es una obra maestra del misterio que presenta al icónico detective Sherlock Holmes y su compañero Dr. Watson. Publicada en 1887, la novela entrelaza intriga criminal y análisis de pistas, manteniendo al lector en vilo hasta su sorprendente desenlace en la Inglaterra victoriana.

Una maldición pesa sobre los Baskerville, que habitan el viejo manoir de sus ancestros, perdido en medio de una lande salvaje: cuando un perro-demonio, una bestia inmunda y gigantesca, aparece, es la muerte. El fallecimiento súbito y trágico de Sir Charles Baskerville y los aullidos lúgubres que a veces se oyen provenientes del pantano, el gran lodazal de Grimpen, dan credibilidad a la siniestra leyenda. Al llegar a Londres, Sir Henry Baskerville, único heredero de Sir Charles, recibe una carta anónima: «Si valoras tu vida y tu razón, aléjate de la lande». A pesar de estas amenazas, Sir Henry decide dirigirse a Baskerville Hall, acompañado de Sherlock Holmes y su fiel Watson. Novela cautivadora y angustiante, El perro de los Baskerville es una de las aventuras más célebres de Sherlock Holmes.

Lestrade summons Holmes to a community in Herefordshire, where a local land owner has been murdered outdoors. The deceased's estranged son is strongly implicated. Holmes quickly determines that a mysterious third man may be responsible for the crime, unraveling a thread involving a secret criminal past, thwarted love, and blackmail.

Creador del genial detective Sherlock Holmes, protagonista de la famosa serie que comenzó con la novela Estudio en escarlata, el escritor escocés Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) fue además autor de historias de ciencia ficción y de romances históricos, así como un maestro del relato breve.

Sherlock Holmes tiene un nuevo caso: el asesinato del señor Douglas, el propietario de una casa en el valle de Vermissa. Pero un giro inesperado complica el caso y el suspense de la historia nos arrastra hacia el fondo del valle del miedo.

Como muchos de sus contemporáneos, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle viajó extensamente. Este elocuente libro de viajes recrea en divertido detalle las dificultades que los turistas comunes enfrentaban al viajar al extranjero, al mismo tiempo que ofrece una imagen clara de la vida colonial en los primeros años del siglo XX.

Cada año, la joven Mary Morstan, cuyo padre, oficial en el ejército de las Indias, ha desaparecido hace tiempo, recibe por correo el regalo de una perla. El día en que una carta le fija un misterioso encuentro, solicita la compañía del célebre Sherlock Holmes. Mientras el buen Dr. Watson se siente cautivado por el encanto de la joven, nos adentramos en una de las más oscuras enigmas que se han presentado a la sagacidad del detective. La India de los maharajás, el fuerte de Agra asediado por la rebelión de los Cipayes, y el penal de las islas Andamán son los escenarios de la extraordinaria aventura que Holmes va a reconstruir, la cual encontrará su conclusión en las brumas del Támesis. Una de las más inolvidables aventuras de Sherlock Holmes.

'El Sabueso de los Baskerville' es una obra maestra de misterio y suspense, con una trama ingeniosa y personajes bien desarrollados. Arthur Conan Doyle brilla en esta novela cautivadora que atraerá a lectores de todas las edades, dejando una huella duradera. Una lectura imprescindible para los amantes del género.

Francia y Rusia pagarán cualquier precio por conocer los planes navales de Inglaterra. Un ladrón desesperado actúa. El funcionario deshonrado pierde la razón y, meses después, llama a Sherlock Holmes, porque el tratado sigue siendo un secreto.

Es ésta la novela en que Conan Doyle dio a conocer al inmortal detective Sherlock Holmes, y al doctor Watson, su no menos genial narrador. Un cadáver hallado en extrañas circunstancias pone en marcha los reflejos deductivos de Holmes, mientras la policía oficial se pierde en divagaciones equivocadas o arresta a inocentes ciudadanos. Un nuevo asesinato parece complicar la historia, pero a Holmes se la aclara. Nuestro detective no sólo encuentra al asesino, sino que intuye la historia turbulenta que lo motiva: la de otros asesinatos ocurridos treinta años atrás y cuyos ecos llegan al presente, historia que constituye una segunda novela tan apasionante como la primera.

La segunda aparición de Sherlock Holmes en la prensa ocurrió poco después de que el doctor Watson hubiera publicado «un pequeño folleto, con el título algo fantástico de Estudio en escarlata», que por cierto no mereció los elogios del detective. Y, aunque el tenaz narrador empleara en El signo de los cuatro la misma censurada técnica que en la primera, gracias a «la prueba del reloj» supimos que el doctor Watson tuvo un hermano, pudimos gozar una vez más del envidiable ingenio de Holmes, y atisbamos algunas de las complejas características de su cerebro: encaminado a combatir el crimen, también en él «había material para un buen hombre y un rufián»

(back cover)

It is more than a century since the ascetic, gaunt and enigmatic detective, Sherlock Holmes, made his first appearance in A Study in Scarlet. From 1891, beginning with The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the now legendary and pioneering Strand Magazine began serialising Arthur Conan Doyle's matchless tales of detection, featuring the incomparable sleuth patiently assisted by his doggedly loyal and lovably pedantic friend and companion, Dr Watson. The stories are illustrated by the remarkable Sydney Paget from whom our images of Sherlock Holmes and his world derive and who first equipped Holmes with his famous deerstalker hat.

"Like Volume, this is a bargain. It gathers the short story collections, plus the novella "The Valley of Fear, along with two conan doyle essays and scholarly notes."--"Library Journal.

"At that first sight of Watson, Sherlock Holmes made brilliant deductions. But even he couldn't know that their meeting was inaugurating a friendship that would make himself and the good Doctor cultural icons, as popular as ever more than a century after their 1887 debut. Through four novels and fifty-six stories, Arthur Conan Doyle led the pair through dramatic adventures that continue to thrill readers today, offering an unmatched combination of skillful plotting, period detail, humor, and distinctive characters. For a Holmes fan, there are few pleasures comparable to returning to his richly imagined world--the gaslit streets of Victorian London, the companionable clutter of 221B Baker Street, the reliable fuddlement (and nerves of steel) of Watson, the perverse genius of Holmes himself. It's all there in The Daily Sherlock Holmes, the perfect bedside companion for fans of the world's only consulting detective. Within these pages readers will find a quotation for every day of the year, drawn from across the Conan Doyle canon. Beloved characters and familiar lines recall favorite stories and scenes, while other passages remind us that Conan Doyle had a way with description and a ready wit. Moriarty and Mycroft, Lestrade and Mrs. Hudson; the Hound, the Red-Headed League, the Speckled Band, and the dread Reichenbach Falls--it's all here, anchored, of course, in that unforgettable duo of Holmes and Watson."-- Amazon.com

Just as everything appears to be going his way, Sherlock finds himself arrested for a murder he didn't commit in a plot orchestrated by none other than Moriarty! He soon escapes police custody and sets out to clear his name. The victim, Count Drebber, wrote Sherlock's name in blood before he died, but why? Will Sherlock be able to solve this puzzle and save himself?

Many writers have revisited the Reichenbach Falls in the hope of summoning up the ghost of Sherlock Holmes. Now Richard Lancelyn Green has succeeded triumphantly with this collection of stories by expert writers of the calibre of Ronald Knox and Julian Symons. Designed not to compete with or parody the original, but rather to reflect and enhance the achievements of the great detective.

"The untold story of Sherlock Holmes' greatest rival, Moriarty! Before he was Sherlock's rival, Moriarty fought against the unfair class system in London by making sure corrupt nobility got their comeuppance. But even the most well-intentioned plans can spin out of control--will Moriarty's dream of a more just and equal world turn him into a hero...or a monster? In the late 19th century, Great Britain rules over a quarter of the world. Nobles sit in their fancy homes in comfort and luxury, while the working class slaves away at their jobs. When young Albert James Moriarty's upper-class family adopts two lower-class orphans, the cruelty the boys experience at his family's hands cements Albert's hatred of the nobility he was born into. He asks the older of the two boys--who has a genius mind and a killer instinct--to help him rid the world of evil, starting with Albert's own family!"--Publisher description
