Do mlhavých ulic viktoriánského Londýna a ponurých blat zapadlých hrabství vykročil muž, který věru neměl „ani špinavé ruce, ani strach“, doprovázen svým přítelem, jemuž vděčíme za svědectví o jejich dobrodružstvích. Sherlock Holmes a dr. Watson. Právě se seznámili (v příběhu Studie v šarlatové (knižně poprvé 1887), podivínský génius a sportsman a veterán britské afghánské války, aby pomáhali pravdě a spravedlnosti, někdy tak těžkopádné. Dr. Watson ještě netuší, do jak zvláštního, groteskního světa plného záhad vstupuje. Díky jeho zápiskům jej můžeme následovat. V tomto svazku odhalíme ještě tajemství Podpisu čtyř (knižně 1890).

Vzdáváme hold A. C. Doyleovi vydáním čtyřdílné série jeho známých i poprvé přeložených próz. Po třech svazcích neholmesovských povídek (Tajemství a záhady a Dobrodružství na moři i na souši, Tajnosti z ordinací a laboratoří) nyní vychází čtvrtý, závěrečný díl. Ten věnujeme nejslavnějšímu detektivovi všech dob Sherlocku Holmesovi. Pes rodu Baskervilllů, bezkonkurenčně nejznámější dílo A. C. Doylea, vyšel na pokračování v časopise Strand v letech 1901–1902. Tou dobou už autor z duše nenáviděl svou literární postavu, jež zastínila vše, co jiného v životě vytvořil. Byl spisovatelem velmi plodným: napsal více než tři sta beletristických děl (v tom 24 romány) a více než 1200 dalších prozaických prací, mimo jiné monumentální šestisvazkové dějiny 1. světové války. Přesto se při zmínce o tomto spisovateli každému ihned vybaví excentrický detektiv z Baker Street! Doyle to sice cítil jako křivdu, avšak jeho příběhy o Holmesovi, tyto pohádky pro dospělé, se těší značné oblibě i dnes. Nejenže v nich dobro vítězí nad zlem a pevná morálka nad zkažeností – jejich kouzlo spočívá i v romantickém koloritu místa a doby, v nichž se odehrávají. Slavný román o psu z dartmoorských blat vychází v novém překladu a s novým českým názvem. Nechme se znovu okouzlit fantazií a vypravěčským mistrovstvím sira Arthura Conana Doylea, jehož touha po poznání a po lepším světě oslovuje nové a nové generace čtenářů.

Kdesi v útrobách banky Cox a spol., sídliacej na Charing Cross, sa nachádza putovaním po svete obšúchaná a otlčená plechová škatuľa, ktorá je na veku označená mojím menom – MUDr. John H. Watson, veterán indického armádneho zboru. Je v nej plno papierov a takmer všetky sú to záznamy prípadov, ktoré ilustrovali, aké zvláštne problémy musel pán Sherlock Holmes v rôznych časových úsekoch riešiť. Keď uvážime, že pán Sherlock Holmes sa aktívnej praxi venoval celých dvadsaťtri rokov a mne sa naskytla príležitosť spolupracovať s ním sedemnásť rokov, je zrejmé, že k dispozícii mám množstvo materiálu vhodného na spracovanie.Z tohto archívu, Archívu Sherlocka Holmesa, vám prinášame výber detektívnych poviedok. V nich opísané príbehy sa udiali prevažne na sklonku kariéry svetoznámeho detektíva. Vychádza v preklade Jána Kamenistého a s ilustráciami Jula Nagya.

Celá desetiletí se mělo za to, že kompletní kánon Sherlocka Holmese sestává z šedesáti případů - padesáti šesti povídek a čtyř románů. Také se ale celou tu dobu šířily zvěsti, že existuje několik dodatečných krátkých dílek, která Conan Doyle o svém světově proslulém detektivovi napsal, a která nebyla z rozličných důvodů obsažena v žádném sebraném vydání. Nyní byly tyto povídky, hry a básně konečně vyrvány z náruče temnoty a společně vydány v jednom svazku, jenž nám tedy přináší poslední zbývající autentické zprávy o velkém detektivovi. Dílka sebraná v Zapomenutých případech Sherlocka Holmese byla shromážděna jen díky pečlivému pátrání v Británii i Americe a jsou zde předkládána spolu s úchvatným vylíčením okolností, jež se týkají jejich prvního vydání. Odhalují nám zcela nový, překvapivý pohled na velkého detektiva a také nás seznamují s postojem, který Conan Doyle ke svému největšímu výtvoru zaujímal. Tuto knihu dozajista přivítají všichni detektivovi příznivci, neboť Sherlock Holmes se na jejích stránkách přecejen ještě jednou vrací mezi nás.

Pes Baskervillský / Údolie hrozy / Štúdia v červenom

V príbehoch o slávnom detektívovi z Baker Street 221 B v Londýne a jeho spoločníkovi sa odráža magický svet Sherlocka Holmesa a Dr. Johna H. Watsona. Prvýkrát sa stretávajú v Štúdii v červenom (1887). V novele Pes baskervillský (1902) sa odohráva zločin na slatinách a Baskervillskom zámku. Tento príbeh sir Doyle začal písať potom, ako v poviedke Posledný príbeh (1893) na jej konci zahynul Holmes v súboji s profesorom Moriartym a na veľký tlak čitateľov sa rozhodol v písaní pokračovať. Nad rodom Baskervillovcov visí zlovestná kliatba, ktorá sa prenáša cez viacero generácií a končí sa tajomnou smrťou jedného z posledných – sira Charlesa Baskervilla. Novela Údolie hrôzy (1915) je posledná, ktorú sir Doyle o Holmesovi napísal. Udalosti v nej opísané majú reálny základ. V roku 1875 rozdrvili pinkertonovci veľký rozvetvený klan írskych prisťahovalcov v Spojených štátoch. Jeden z detektívov sa votrel do ich zločineckej organizácie a jeho svedectvo na súde priviedlo na popravisko viacerých sprisahancov.

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.»

V deviatich napínavých príbehoch Sherlock Holmes opäť potvrdzuje svoju povesť detektíva svetového mena. Aj zdanlivo bezvýznamný dôkaz mu stačí na to, aby zrekonštruoval priebeh trestného činu a dostal sa na stopu páchateľa. Výborným psychologickým odhadom má nad akokoľvek rafinovaným zločincom vždy prevahu. Teda takmer nad každým, pretože profesor Moriarty mu je rovnocenným protivníkom. Už viackrát sa Holmes domnieval, že Moriarty je zapletený do mimoriadne komplikovaných prípadov. No až po zdĺhavom vyšetrovaní má konečne v rukách dôkaz. Profesor Moriarty sa usiluje o Holmesov zánik, a preto s ním vedie neľútostný a krutý boj.
The Complete Novels of Sherlock Holmes includes A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and The Valley of Fear, and thirty-seven short stories from the Adventures, Memoirs and Return of Sherlock Holmes. Included are illustrations by Sidney Paget, George Hutchinson, James Greig, E. S. Morris & Charles Kerr. Holmes will need to use his various skills, including a knack at cracking ciphers, an aptitude for acting and disguise, tracking footprints, hand to hand combat, and knowledge of psychology to solve cases involving burglary, murder and revenge. Sherlock Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess and is renowned for his skilful use of deductive reasoning, astute observation, and forensic skills to solve difficult cases. Deductive reasoning allows Holmes to impressively reveal a stranger's occupation. Similarly, by studying inanimate objects, he is able to make astonishingly detailed deductions about their owners. This mindset was a major innovation in the field of crime fiction, inspiring authors like Robert J. Sawyer, Neil Gaiman and Stephen King.

The Original Illustrated Sherlock Holmes

- 23 horas de lectura
Here are the original Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle as they first appeared in the famed British magazine The Strand. This periodical was the literary sensation of its time, especially with the publication of the novel The Hound of the Baskervilles (which appears in its entirety in this volume), when eager readers lined up outside the magazine's London offices, waiting for each installment as it came off press.This edition contains 37 short stories, reproduced in complete facsimile (published in individual volumes as "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes", and "The Return of Sherlock Holmes"), plus the complete novel The Hound of the Baskervilles. Today, the collection of the original issues of The Strand containing the Holmes stories is a rare collector's piece. It is brought to you now, complete and unabridged, comprising a total of well over 600 pages, providing the undying excitement and fascination of each and every Sherlock Holmes Adventure. The drawings of Sidney Paget illustrate the stories--illustrations as immortal as the stories themselves. Paget produced more than 350 Sherlock Holmes illustrations, and it was his depictions which gave Holmes visual reality for everyone, which projected him throughout the world, and which today still provide the mold of the original hero in production on stage, screen and television.
This collection includes many of the famous cases - and great strokes of brilliance - that made the legendary Sherlock Holmes one of fiction's most popular creations. With his devoted amanuensis, Dr Watson, Holmes emerges from his smoke filled rooms in Baker Street to grapple with the forces of treachery, intrigue and evil in such cases as 'The Speckled Band', in which a terrified woman begs their help in solving the mystery surrounding her sister's death, or 'A Scandal in Bohemia', which portrays a European king blackmailed by his mistress. In 'Silver Blaze' the pair investigate the disappearance of a racehorse and the violent murder of its trainer, while in 'The Final Problem' Holmes at last comes face to face with his nemesis, the diabolical Professor Moriarty - 'the Napoleon of crime'.

Since his first appearance in Beeton’s Christmas Annual in 1887, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes has been one of the most beloved fictional characters ever created. Now, in two paperback volumes, Bantam presents all fifty-six short stories and four novels featuring Conan Doyle’s classic hero--a truly complete collection of Sherlock Holmes’s adventures in crime! Volume I includes the early novel A Study in Scarlet, which introduced the eccentric genius of Sherlock Holmes to the world. This baffling murder mystery, with the cryptic word Rache written in blood, first brought Holmes together with Dr. John Watson. Next, The Sign of Four presents Holmes’s famous “seven percent solution” and the strange puzzle of Mary Morstan in the quintessential locked-room mystery. Also included are Holmes’s feats of extraordinary detection in such famous cases as the chilling “ The Adventure of the Speckled Band,” the baffling riddle of “The Musgrave Ritual,” and the ingeniously plotted “The Five Orange Pips,” tales that bring to life a Victorian England of horse-drawn cabs, fogs, and the famous lodgings at 221B Baker Street, where Sherlock Holmes earned his undisputed reputation as the greatest fictional detective of all time.

NOWE WYDANIE Z ORYGINALNYMI ILUSTRACJAMI SIDNEYA PAGETA! POWRÓT SHERLOCKA HOLMESA Arthur Conan Doyle, pod naciskiem czytelników, przywraca słynnego detektywa do życia. Z opowiadania Pusty dom dowiadujemy się, że Holmes tak naprawdę nie spadł do wodospadu Reichenbach, gdyż wykorzystał swoje nieprzeciętne umiejętności w zakresie sztuki walki zwanej baritsu i zrzucił w otchłań profesora Moriarty'ego. Detektyw postanawia wykorzystać fakt, że wszyscy myślą, że on również wpadł w otchłań alpejskiego wodospadu, i z ukrycia wyłapać pozostałych zbrodniarzy z szajki Moriarty'ego. Pierwszym zadaniem jakie sobie wyznacza, jest schwytanie pułkownika Morana, bliskiego współpracownika profesora, który poza jego bratem Mycroftem jako jedyny wiedział, że detektyw żyje... W pozostałych opowiadaniach tomu Sherlock Holmes rozwiązuje zagmatwane sprawy kryminalne, wykorzystując swoje słynne metody dedukcji. POŻEGNALNY UKŁON Kolejna porcja skomplikowanych zagadek kryminalnych rozwiązywanych przez genialnego detektywa. Pewnego razu do domu doktora Watsona przybiega gospodyni Sherlocka Holmesa, mówiąc, że Holmes jest ciężko chory i umiera. Gdy Watson dociera do przyjaciela, ten mówi, że to gorączka sumatrzańska i zaraził się nią w porcie. Holmes wściekły i przerażony, prosi Watsona, by ten pojechał po niejakiego Calvertona Smitha, który jest lekarzem i jako jedyny zna się na gorączce sumatrzańskiej... W innej z opowieści doktor Watson, przebywający w kurorcie, jest świadkiem, jak lady Frances Carfax szokuje wszystkich gości swoim nietypowym dla damy zachowaniem. Zauważa też, że w pobliżu lady Frances kręci się jakiś tajemniczy mężczyzna z brodą. Pewnego dnia lady Frances znika. Holmes i Watson ruszają na jej poszukiwania... ARCHIWUM SHERLOCKA HOLMESA Ostatni tom opowiadań o najsłynniejszej parze detektywów wszech czasów. Kiedy Sherlock Holmes wyjeżdża na wakacje, podczas jego nieobecności doktor Watson przyjmuje zlecenie od dwóch starszych pań. Chcą one przekonać swojego brata, że człowiek, który opowiada mu o możliwości spadku, to oszust. W tym samym czasie starszy brat Sherlocka, Mycroft Holmes, rozpoczyna poszukiwania skradzionego klejnotu kardynała Mazarina, który został przekazany British Museum... W innej z opowieści Holmes otrzymuje dwa dziwne listy, które dotyczą podejrzenia o wampiryzm. Niejaki Robert Ferguson, który przybywa na Baker Street następnego ranka, twierdzi, iż jego peruwiańska żona wysysała krew ich synka. Kilka razy została na tym przyłapana przez pielęgniarkę, która na początku wahała się, czy powiedzieć o tym panu domu. Holmes, zdając sobie sprawę, iż jest to niezwykle delikatna sprawa, przystępuje natychmiast do śledztwa... Pod koniec swojej detektywistycznej kariery Holmes, podczas pobytu w Sussex, jest świadkiem śmierci w konwulsjach na brzegu zatoki uchodzącej do kanału la Manche profesora Fitzroya McPhersona. Sekcja zwłok wykazuje, że przyczyną śmierci są liczne rany na plecach. Ostatnie słowa jakie wypowiedział zmarły brzmiały: „lwia grzywa”...

"My dear Watson, Professor Moriarty is not a man who lets the grass grow under his feet. I went out about mid-day to transact some business in Oxford Street. As I passed the corner which leads from Bentinck Street on to the Welbeck Street crossing a two-horse van furiously driven whizzed round and was on me like a flash. I sprang for the foot-path and saved myself by the fraction of a second. The van dashed round by Marylebone Lane and was gone in an instant. I kept to the pavement after that, Watson, but as I walked down Vere Street a brick came down from the roof of one of the houses, and was shattered to fragments at my feet. I called the police and had the place examined.

Holmesovský příběh, který samozřejmě upoutá pozornost českého čtenáře svým zeměpisným určením. Leč je třeba ho hned naúvod zklamat: Čechy zde nepředstavují zemi Rakousko-Uherského mocnářství, ale jakýsi pohádkový útvar. Už jen proto, že žádný český král tehdy nepanoval. Nicméně příběh o milostném příběhu panovníka a prohnané Ireně Adlerové je napínavý a zajímavý už jen proto, že A.C. Doyle byl znám svým rezervovaným postojem k ženám s jedinou výjimkou, kterou byla právě zpěvačka Irenau Adlerová ze Skandálu v Čechách.
