The Adventures / The Memoirs / The Return / His Last Bow / The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes
In the Sherlock Holmes short stories, Arthur Conan Doyle created some of the most memorable mysteries in English literature: from A Scandal in Bohemia and The Red-Headed League to The Speckled Band, Silver Blaze, and the adventures surrounding Holmes's legendary return.Across fifty-six stories, Holmes and Dr Watson enter a world of locked rooms, vanished persons, coded messages, strange inheritances, sinister plots, and crimes that seem impossible until the great detective brings them into the light.Brilliantly constructed, atmospheric, and endlessly readable, these tales established the model for modern detective fiction and secured Sherlock Holmes's place as the most famous detective in literature.This is the English-language paperback edition of the complete short stories.Arthur Conan Doyle.Sherlock Holmes.The Complete Short Stories.Including all 56 short stories as originally collected in the following volumes:The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (London: George Newnes, 1892;first published in The Strand Magazine, London, 1891-1892);The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (London: George Newnes, 1893 [dated 1894];first published in The Strand Magazine, London, 1892-1893);The Return of Sherlock Holmes (London: George Newnes, 1905;first published in The Strand Magazine, London, 1903-1904);His Last Bow (London: John Murray, 1917;first published in periodicals, chiefly The Strand Magazine, London, 1908-1917);The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes (London: John Murray, 1927;first published in The Strand Magazine, London, 1921-1927).Complete and Unabridged Unillustrated Edition.Vollständige Neuausgabe ohne Illustrationen, 1.
