The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'Sherlock Holmes was transformed when he was hot upon such a scent as this. Men who had only known the quiet thinker and logician of Baker Street would have failed to recognize him.

His face flushed and darkened. His brows were drawn into two hard black lines, while his eyes shone out from beneath them with a steely glitter.' Set against the foggy, mysterious backdrops of London and the English countryside, these are the first twelve stories ever published to feature the infamous Detective Sherlock Holmes and his side kick Doctor Watson. They first appeared as stories in the Strand Magazine and feature some of his most famous and enjoyable cases, including 'A Scandal in Bohemia', 'The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle' and 'The Red-headed League'.

HarperCollins ar lepnumu iepazīstina ar savu jauno vismīļākās, būtiskās klasikas klāstu. "Šerloks Holmss tika pārveidots, kad viņš bija karsts pēc šādas smaržas. Vīrieši, kuri būtu pazinuši tikai kluso Beikstrītas domātāju un loģiķi, nebūtu spējuši viņu atpazīt.

Viņa seja nosarka un satumsa. Viņa uzacis bija ievilktas divās cietās melnās līnijās, bet acis zem tām spīdēja ar tērauda mirdzumu. ” Šie notikumi ir saistīti ar Londonas un Anglijas lauku miglaino, noslēpumaino fonu, un tie ir pirmie divpadsmit stāsti, kas jebkad publicēti, lai attēlotu bēdīgi slaveno detektīvu Šerloku Holmsu un viņa sānu sitienu ar ārstu Vatsonu. Tie vispirms parādījās kā stāsti žurnālā Strand, un tajos ir iekļauti daži no viņa slavenākajiem un patīkamākajiem gadījumiem, tostarp “A Scandal in Bohemia”, “The Blue Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle” un “The Red -head League”.
