Title :
The Hound Of The BaskervillesAuthor: Doyle Arthur Conan Sir Publisher: Random House Inc 'It's an ugly business, Watson, an ugly dangerous business, and the more I see of it the less I like it.' Sherlock Holmes had been dead for eight years—killed of in another story—when Arthur Conan Doyle decided to bring the famous detective back for a new story that he told friends was turning into 'a real creeper'. The tale about the chilling re-animation of a curse haunting the Baskerville family since Medieval times, wherein a supernatural beast stalks the gloomy moors, would be the most sensationally successful of all the Holmes stories, and a century later, it is still the most thrilling of them all. Full of moody atmospherics, suspicious characters, and dramatic discoveries, The Hound of the Baskervilles also shows off something often overlooked about Doyle: his wonderful prose. Presented here as it first appeared in The Strand magazine in 1901, this great mystery still strikes many as the best ever written. The Art of The Novella Series Too short to be a novel, too long to be a short story, the novella is generally unrecognized by academics and publishers. Nonetheless, it is a form beloved and practiced by literature's greatest writers. In the Art Of The Novella series, Melville House celebrates this renegade art form and its practitioners with titles that are, in many instances, presented in book form for the first time. € 6,80

The Complete Sherlock Holmes, Vol. IAuthor: Doyle Arthur Conan Sir, Freeman Kyle Publisher: Barnes & Noble The Complete Sherlock Holmes, Volume I, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras.

Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences—biographical, historical, and literary—to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works. The Complete Sherlock Holmes comprises four novels and fifty-six short stories revolving around the world's most popular and influential fictional detective—the eccentric, arrogant, and ingenious Sherlock Holmes. He and his trusted friend, Dr. Watson, step from Holmes's comfortable quarters at 221b Baker Street into the swirling fog of Victorian London to exercise that unique combination of detailed observation, vast knowledge, and brilliant deduction. Inevitably, Holmes rescues the innocent, confounds the guilty, and solves the most perplexing puzzles known to literature. Volume I of The Complete Sherlock Holmes starts with Holmes's first appearance, A Study in Scarlet, a chilling murder novel complete with bloodstained walls and cryptic clues, followed by the baffling The Sign of Four, which introduces Holmes's cocaine problem and Watson's future wife. The story collections The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes feature such renowned tales as “A Scandal in Bohemia,” “The Red-Headed League,” and “The Musgrave Ritual.” Tired of writing stories about Holmes, his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, killed him off at the end of “The Final Problem,” the last tale in The Memoirs. But the public outcry was so great that eight years later he published the masterful The Hound of the Baskervilles, which supposedly takes place before Holmes's death. The separate Volume II of The Complete Sherlock Holmes collects the remaining accounts of Holmes's exploits, including “The Adventure of the Empty House,” which reveals the elaborate circumstances behind Holmes's literary resurrection. Kyle Freeman, a Sherlock Holmes enthusiast for many years, earned two graduate degrees in English literature from Columbia University, where his major was twentieth-century British literature. € 13,05

Title :
A Study in ScarletAuthor: Doyle Arthur Conan Sir, Perry Anne (INT) Publisher: Modern Library In 1887, a young Arthur Conan Doyle published A Study in Scarlet, thus creating an international icon in the quick-witted sleuth Sherlock Holmes. In this, the first Holmes mystery, the detective introduces himself to Dr. John H. Watson with the puzzling line “You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive.” And so begins Watson's, and the world's, fascination with this enigmatic character. Doyle presents two equally perplexing mysteries for Holmes to solve: one a murder that takes place in the shadowy outskirts of London, in a locked room where the haunting word Rache is written upon the wall, the other a kidnapping set in the American West. Quickly picking up the “scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life,” Holmes does not fail at finding the truth—and making literary history. € 11,50

Title :
The Lost WorldAuthor: Doyle Arthur Conan Sir, Crichton Michael (INT) Publisher: Modern Library In The Lost World, the first in a series of books to feature the bold Professor Challenger—a character many critics consider one of the most finely drawn in science fiction—Challenger and his party embark on an expedition to a remote Amazonian plateau where, as the good professor puts it, “the ordinary laws of Nature are suspended” and numerous prehistoric creatures and ape-men have survived. “Just as Sherlock Holmes set the standard—and in some sense established the formula—for the detective story . . . , so too has The Lost World set the standard and the formula for fantasy-adventure stories . . . ,” Michael Crichton writes in his Introduction. “The tone and techniques that Conan Doyle first refined in The Lost World have become standard narrative procedures in popular entertainment of the present day.” € 11,60

Il nostro inverno africanoAuthor: Doyle Arthur Conan; Martina G. (cur.) Publisher: Ibis Arthur Conan Doyle è conosciuto universalmente come giallista e creatore del personaggio di Sherlock Holmes. In realtà, egli scrisse anche commedie teatrali, versi, saggi, racconti di fantascienza, romanzi filosofici e storici, di cui fu molto orgoglioso. Questo libro fa conoscere al lettore un aspetto abbastanza sconosciuto dello scrittore, lo Spiritualismo, suo grande interesse negli ultimi quindici anni di vita. Nel 1928 egli intraprese un viaggio di sei mesi in Sudafrica per tenere una serie di conferenze sulla vita oltre la morte. Come era già avvenuto in Canada, USA e Australia, molta fu la gente che accorse a sentirlo. Il volume raccoglie le sue impressioni sul viaggio e sui paesi visitati. € 13,00

Title :
La tragedia del KoroskoAuthor: Doyle Arthur Conan Publisher: Medusa Edizioni Un disparato gruppo di turisti occidentali si ritrova a bordo di un battello a vapore sul Nilo, il Korosko, in attesa di una gita ricca di giri turistici e civilissimi divertimenti coloniali. Ma quando, durante un'escursione mattutina nel deserto, vengono rapiti da un gruppo di cammellieri dervisci, che pretendono di convertirli all'Islam, le loro credenze e perfino la loro sopravvivenza vengono messi a repentaglio. In 'La tragedia del Korosko' Arthur Conan Doyle evoca l'incertezza della tarda età vittoriana, un periodo di supremazia bianca e di egemonia culturale, ma anche un'epoca in cui l'autorità morale delle potenze imperialiste occidentali incominciava a essere messa in discussione. € 15,50

Title :
Il nostro inverno africanoAuthor: Doyle Arthur Conan; Martina G. (cur.) Publisher: Ibis In Italia, Arthur Conan Doyle è conosciuto quasi esclusivamente come giallista e creatore del personaggio di Sherlock Holmes. In realtà, egli è autore di commedie teatrali, versi, saggi, racconti di fantascienza, romanzi filosofici e storici, di cui fu molto orgoglioso, più di quanto lo sia stato del detective al quale deve la fama. 'Il nostro inverno africano' ci fa scoprire un altro aspetto abbastanza sconosciuto dello scrittore, lo Spiritualismo, il suo interesse principale negli ultimi quindici anni. Nel 1928 intraprende un viaggio di sei mesi in Sudafrica per tenere una serie di conferenze che hanno per oggetto la vita dopo la morte. Come è già successo in Canada, negli Stati Uniti e in Australia, egli attira grandi folle, richiamate dal suo nome, ma anche dalla profonda sincerità e onestà con cui affronta l'argomento. Oltre al tema che è la ragione del viaggio, in questo testo c'è anche un resoconto della situazione politica ed economica del Sud Africa, della Rhodesia e del Kenya. Grande protagonista è anche il territorio africano, con il deserto e la savana, i grandi laghi, la Rift Valley, le cascate, le paludi, le spiagge, i fiumi e le zone protette, paradiso di animali quali il leone, le giraffe, gli ippopotami e i coccodrilli. E poi c'è il paesaggio creato dall'uomo, quello arcaico, delle rovine e delle pitture rupestri, e quello moderno delle grandi città. € 12,00

Title :
The Hound of the BaskervillesAuthor: Doyle Arthur Conan Sir, Danly James Publisher: Modern Library The most famous of the Sherlock Holmes stories, The Hound of the Baskervilles features the phantom dog of Dartmoor, which, according to an ancient legend, has haunted the Baskervilles for generations. When Sir Charles Baskerville dies suddenly of a heart attack on the grounds of the family's estate, the locals are convinced that the spectral hound is responsible, and Holmes is called in. “Conan Doyle triumphed and triumphed deservedly,” G. K. Chesterton wrote, “because he took his art seriously, because he lavished a hundred little touches of real knowledge and genuine picturesqueness on the police novelette.” € 11,90

Title :
The Adventures and Memoirs of Sherlock HolmesAuthor: Doyle Arthur Conan Sir, Berendt John (INT) Publisher: Modern Library From “A Scandal in Bohemia,” in which Sherlock Holmes is famously outwitted by a woman, the captivating Irene Adler, to “The Five Orange Pips,” in which the master detective is pitted against the Ku Klux Klan, to “The Final Problem,” in which Holmes and his archenemy, Professor Moriarty, face each other in a showdown at the Reichenbach Falls, the stories that appear in The Adventures and Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes bear witness to the flowering of author Arthur Conan Doyle's genius. “The plain fact,” the celebrated mystery writer Vincent Starrett asserted, “is that Sherlock Holmes is still a more commanding figure in the world than most of the warriors and statesmen in whose present existence we are invited to believe.” € 14,30

Il segno dei quattroAuthor: Doyle Arthur Conan Publisher: Rizzoli Ciascuno deve fare i conti, da solo, con la bravura di Sherlock Holmes: soprattutto il lettore, più volte tentato e speranzoso di coglierlo in errore. Non accade mai, anche se Conan Doyle pare voglioso, talvolta, di mettere nei pasticci più complicati il suo protagonista. Ma, evidentemente, un eroe di racconto, un eroe inventato, riesce a plagiare persino chi lo ha messo al mondo. È accaduto a Pinocchio, è accaduto a Holmes, principe di tutte le investigazioni possibili. € 10,00

Title :
Le avventure di Sherlock HolmesAuthor: Doyle Arthur Conan Publisher: Fabbri 'Natale era trascorso da due giorni quando andai a far visita al mio amico Sherlock Holmes: volevo porgergli gli auguri per il nuovo anno. Lo trovai che oziava sul divano, avvolto in una veste da camera color porpora con un reggipipe a portata di mano da un lato e dall'altro una pila di giornali spiegazzati. Accanto al divano c'era una sedia con un cappello di feltro sdrucito appeso alla spalliera, un paio di pinze chirurgiche e una lente di ingrandimento sul ripiano imbottito che, pensai, dovevano esser state usate per esaminare a fondo il cappello in questione.' La lente, la pipa, un mucchio di vecchi giornali: Sherlock Holmes, il grande investigatore che basa tutte le sue scoperte sulla deduzione, è già tutto qui. Età di lettura: da 10 anni. € 8,50

When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on the wild Devon moorland with the footprints of a giant hound nearby, the blame is placed on a family curse-and it is up to Holmes and Watson to solve the mystery of the legend.

Title :
The Sign of FourAuthor: Doyle Arthur Conan Sir, Ackroyd Peter (INT) Publisher: Penguin Classics It is in this, the second Holmes novel, that the great detective comes fully to life - not only as a melancholic and an inscrutable master of deduction, but also as an incurable drug addict. 'Which is it today?' Watson asks Holmes matter-of-factly on the opening page of the novel, 'morphine or cocaine?' 'It is cocaine,' Holmes famously replies. 'A seven-per-cent solution. Would you like to try it?' Mary Morstan comes to Holmes in the hope that he will be able to solve a mystery. Ten years earlier her father, Captain Arthur Morstan, had returned to London on leave from his regiment in India where it is said that he and one Thadeus Sholto, 'came into possession of a considerable treasure.' By the time his daughter arrived at his hotel, he had vanished without a trace. The Sign of Four remains a small masterpiece of suspense, and the novel has enjoyed a steady readership ever since its first publication in 1890. In recent years, however, it has not been readily available except as a part of larger omnibus Holmes anthologies. € 10,15
