Arthur Doyle strana 20 z 42

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. Featuring the last 12 stories ever written about the infamous detective, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes contains some of Conan Doyle's most villainous and unusual characters. The 1920s was a disenchanting era, and the darker mood of many of these stories reflects the environment at the time. Some even felt that the stories showed Conan Doyle exploring Spiritualism as it was an area he was interested in at the time and the mental derangement and physical disfigurements that crop up in many of the stories allude to the horrors of the First World War. The collection includes 'The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire', 'The Adventure of the Creeping Man' and 'The Adventure of the Lion's Mane'.

De a mese oly sekélyes volt s oly jelentéktelen ahhoz a mély titokhoz képest, a mellyel foglalkoztunk, hogy figyelmem a képzelet országából folyton a valóságra terelõdött. Végül el is dobtam a könyvet s belemerültem teljesen a mai nap eseményeinek lefolyatásába. Föltéve, hogy ez a szerencsétlen fiatalember színigazat beszélt, vajon micsoda pokoli dolog, miféle teljesen váratlan, rendkívüli esemény történhetett, azalatt a rövid idõ alatt, amely eltelt, míg távozott atyjától s míg kiáltására újra visszarohant hozzá? Rettentõ dolognak kellett történnie! De minek? Vajon a sérülések nem árulhatnának-e el valamit orvosi tapasztaltságomnak? Csöngettem, s bekértem a helybeli hetilapot, amely szó szerint közölte a nyomozás eredményét. Az orvos vallomása megállapította, hogy a bal koponyafalcsont hátsó harmadát és a nyakszirtcsont balfelét bezúzta valami tompa fegyvertõl eredõ súlyos ütés. Megjelöltem a leírt helyet a saját fejemen. Nyilvánvaló volt, hogy ilyen ütést csak hátulról mérhettek az áldozatra.?
