"The immense talent, passion and literary brilliance that Conan Doyle brought to his work give him a unique place in English letters. Personally, I'd walk a million miles in tight boots just to read his letters to the milkman". (Stephen Fry). "Holmes has a timeless intelligence that puts him head, shoulders and deer-stalker above all other detectives". (Alexander McCall Smith). "Now, as in his lifetime, cab drivers, statesmen, academics, and raggedy-assed children sit spellbound at his feet. No wonder, then, if the pairing of Holmes and Watson has triggered more imitators than any other duo in literature". (John Le Carre). Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) studied medicine at Edinburgh University, where he became the clerk to a surgeon whose diagnostic methods provided the model for the science of deduction perfected by Sherlock Holmes. He set up as a doctor and it was while waiting for patients that he began to write. Sherlock Holmes first appeared in "A Study in Scarlet" (1887). The Holmes stories soon attracted such a following that Conan Doyle felt the character overshadowed his other work. In "The Final Problem" (1893) Conan Doyle killed him off, but was obliged by public demand to restore the detective to life.

Sherlock Holmes is the greatest detective of them all. He sits in his room, and smokes his pipe. He listens, and watches, and thinks. He listens to the steps coming up the stairs; he watches the door opening - and he knows what question the stranger will ask. In these three of his best stories, Holmes has three visitors to the famous flat in Baker Street - visitors who bring their troubles to the only man in the world who can help them.

The master of deduction, Sherlock Holmes, and his acolyte, Dr Watson, are here adapted into graphic novel form - a refreshing transformation which seems 'elementary' for books that have previously been made into films with suspenseful storylines and strong visual elements. Full of intrigue and witty characterisation, The Hound of the Baskervilles takes readers to the Devon moors, where Holmes has to use all his logic to prove that the hound seen near Sir Charles Baskerville's dead body was not the supernatural manifestation of a curse, but the instrument of an earthly murder.

Kdo měl zájem na smrti sira Karla, dobrosrdečného mecenáše zdejšího nehostinného kraje? Je oním vraždícím monstrem skutečně nepolapitelný děsivý pes? Jedinečné líčení atmosféry tajemství a hrůzy z událostí, které se zdánlivě vzpírají lidskému chápání, vychází u této nejznámější anglické detektivky z principů gotického románu.

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859-1930) etait un ecrivain ecossais, celebre pour ses romans mettant en scene le detective Sherlock Holmes, consideres comme une innovation majeure du roman policier. Cet ecrivain prolifique a egalement travaille dans le domaine de la science-fiction, des romans historiques, des pieces de theatre et de la poesie. Arthur Conan Doyle est ne a Edimbourg (Ecosse). Il etudie la medecine de 1876 a 1881 apres etre sorti agnostique des ecoles catholiques de son enfance. Ses premiers ecrits, encore exempts de son celebre personnage Sherlock Holmes, sont publies en 1879, peu apres qu'il a arrete d'exercer son activite de medecin, et c'est en 1887 qu'apparaissent sur la scene litteraire britannique le mondialement connu detective londonien et son ami et assistant le docteur Watson. L'engagement politique de Conan Doyle, notamment en faveur de la guerre en Afrique du Sud, ainsi que son titanesque travail litteraire (plus de cinquante livres et un nombre impressionnant de nouvelles), lui valent d'etre proclame chevalier en 1902: il devient alors "Sir" Arthur Conan Doyle.

K případu spojenému se známou rodinou Roylottů ze Stoke Moranu v Surrey došlo na samém počátku přátelství doktora Watsona se Sherlockem Holmesem, v době, kdy ještě coby¨dva svobodní mládenci bydleli společně v Baker Street. „Byli jsme zavázáni mlčením,“ vypráví v úvodu Watson, „a teprve nyní mne předčasná smrt dámy, jíž jsme přísahali, slibu zprostila. Je snad jen dobře, že fakta konečně vyjdou najevo, neboť … o smrti doktora Grimesbyho Roylotta panuje tolik pověstí, že celá záležitost působí ještě příšerněji než pravda.“

"The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" is the series of short stories that made the fortunes of the "Strand" magazine, in which they were first published, and won immense popularity for Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. The detective is at the height of his powers and the volume is full of famous cases, including "The Red-Headed League", "The Blue Carbuncle", and "The Speckled Band". Although Holmes gained a reputation for infallibility, Conan Doyle showed his own realism and feminism by having the great detective defeated by Irene Adler - a woman - in the very first story, "A Scandal in Bohemia".
