HTML: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 one eBook, Bantam Classics 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 deception 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.? Volume II begins with The Hound of Baskervilles, a haunting novel of murder on eerie Grimpen Moor, which has rightly earned its reputation as the finest murder mystery ever written. The Valley of Fear matches Holmes against his archenemy, the master of imaginative crime, Professor Moriarty. In addition, the loyal Dr. Watson has faithfully recorded Holmes??s feats of extraordinary detection in such famous cases as the thrilling ??The Adventure of the Red Circle,? Holmes??s tragic and fortunately premature farewell in ??The Final Problem,? and the twelve baffling adventures from The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes. Conan Doyle??s incomparable tales bring to life a Victorian England of horse-drawn cabs, fogs, and the famous lodgings at 221 B Baker Street, where for more than forty years Sherlock Holmes earned his undi Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I know that this is a book of its time, where classism exists, English Exceptionalism, etc etc. However, Doyle at times points out the hypocrisy - in "The Adventure of the Yellow Face", when Sherlock Holmes is hired to figure out what a secretive wife is doing, he finds she is hiding her much loved child from a previous marriage to a black man.
Most of these stories from both volumes have faded for me, but a few do stick out. "The Hound of the Baskervilles" is one my favorites. ( )
