Edizioni integrali
Il 1887 rappresenta una data storica nella letteratura poliziesca. Nasce in quell’anno il più celebre detective di tutti i tempi: Sherlock Holmes. Per quarant’anni Doyle continuò a inventare storie su questo fortunato protagonista, creando un modello destinato a esercitare un’influenza decisiva su tutta la letteratura poliziesca. Da Uno studio in rosso a Il segno dei Quattro, dal ben noto Mastino dei Baskerville a La Valle della Paura, a Le avventure di Sherlock Holmes, l’investigatore si confronta con un caleidoscopio di casi sempre più complessi. Nell’ultima avventura delle Memorie di Sherlock Holmes, Doyle, ormai stanco del personaggio, ne decreterà la morte facendolo precipitare in un abisso. Sarà poi costretto dalle proteste del pubblico a farlo resuscitare: eccolo in gran forma nel Ritorno di Sherlock Holmes. L’ultimo saluto raccoglie quattro straordinarie storie dell’investigatore, ancora agile e lucido nonostante gli anni. Nel Taccuino di Sherlock Holmes, l’insuperabile detective si aggira tra maggiordomi, tappeti persiani e preziosi servizi da tè: ritrova tesori, chiarisce misteri e, naturalmente, conquista il cuore di noi lettori.
«Elementare, Watson, elementare. Per risolvere un enigma poliziesco, anche il più ingarbugliato, basta osservare, collegare e dedurre.»

Completionism, my dear Watson. The whole shebang. The entire 9 book Sherlock Holmes series by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring arguably the best detective the world has ever seen, in his neverending adventures with his ever faithful companion, Dr. Watson. Was it worth it? Yes. Would you do it aga
A few of the things I learned: Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth Never theorize before you have all the evidence. It biases the judgment. Also, I now sometimes try to analyze people based on their shoes and pants when sitting on the subway Leggi tutto
Time does not change great literature This was completely entertaining and no matter how old you are it's still great to read over the ones you enjoyed the first time. Several I had not remembered reading. I bought this book at special price from here: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Sherl...
My copy of this book is a wreck, I have read it so often. My dad gave it to me, I can't remember if it was a birthday or Christmas gift, but regardless it's one of the best books I've ever been given. You just have to read a couple of pages and you fall right into Holmes and Watson's world; it's won Leggi tutto
It's great that we got Hound of the Baskervilles right before Return of Sherlock Holmes, because, after that, the knighted author would prove to be on autopilot. I'm afraid that the test of time has not been overly kind to the canon Sherlock lore. It was a chore sometimes, to read through these short Leggi tutto
I was recently asked by my GR friend Colin, “what novel had the most impact on you in your teens/early twenties?” I had to sit back for a few minutes and ponder that question. I read voraciously as a kid. A lot of times it was silly romances, because, well I was always looking for my Prince Charming Leggi tutto
I have no idea how I let myself get so long in the tooth before finally settling down and reading this collection. Suffice to say I am glad I finally came to my senses. It is all here, every Sherlock Holmes story ever penned by Arthur Conan Doyle. There are four complete novels and five books of ca Leggi tutto
