''There was a rumour, too, that he was a devil-worshipper, or something of that sort, and also that he had the evil eye...'' Arthur Conan Doyle was the greatest genre writer Britain has ever produced. Throughout a long writing career, he drew on his own medical background, his travels, and his increasing interest in spiritualism and the occult to produce a spectacular array of Gothic Tales. Many of Doyle''s writings are recognised as the very greatest tales of terror. They range from hauntings in the polar wasteland to evil surgeons and malevolent jungle landscapes. This collection brings together over thirty of Conan Doyle''s best Gothic Tales. Darryl Jones''s introduction discusses the contradictions in Conan Doyle''s very public life - as a medical doctor who became obsessed with the spirit world, or a British imperialist drawn to support Irish Home Rule - and shows the ways in which these found articulation in that most anxious of all literary forms, the Gothic.

Tales of weird and supernatural suspense from Arthur Conan Doyle, the author best known for the creation of the illustrious detective Sherlock Holmes. The next addition to the Hardback Classics series, with previous titles collecting the works of Sheridan le Fanu, Margaret Oliphant and M.R. James.The luminous fog drifted slowly off the table and wavered and flickered across the room. There in the farther and darkest corner it gathered and glowed, hardening down into a shining core… Although best known for the stories of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a remarkable number of weird and supernatural tales. Pulling at this thread of his fiction reveals a writer deeply fascinated in matters of the occult, the uncanny and the unexplainable, with his belief in spiritualism later in life only adding to his passion for the unknown. This volume collects Doyle’s most enduring strange stories – ranging from monster encounters and deadly hauntings to dark tales of mesmerism – and also includes a new introduction along with Doyle’s never-before-reprinted essay on his own spiritual experiences, "Stranger than Fiction."

Deeply bored by the lack of mental stimulus and the dull routine of existence, Sherlock Holmes is about to resort to his daily dose of cocaine when an elegantly dressed young woman called Mary Morstan enters his room and presents her case to him and Watson. Following the mysterious disappearance of her father ten years ago, and after answering, four years later, a newspaper advert enquiring for her, she has begun to receive each year, on the same date, a precious pearl in the post from an unknown benefactor. Now, with the last pearl, she has also received a message, telling her she is “a wronged woman” and asking for a meeting that very night outside the Lyceum Theatre. Will the great detective accompany her and help her unravel the mystery? First published in 1880, The Sign of the Four – the second Sherlock Holmes novel after A Study in Scarlet, published three years earlier – will sweep the readers away into a story of murders, betrayals, double-crossings and stolen treasures, and is an enduring testament to the storytelling genius of Arthur Conan Doyle.

Skotský spisovatel sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), známý především jako tvůrce nesmrtelného detektiva Sherlocka Holmese, se v tomto výboru představuje českému čtenáři jako autor dobrodružných povídek. Promítají se do nich jeho životní zkušenosti z mnoha oborů, původní povolání lékaře, poznatky zkušeného spiritisty, laického kazatele, historika, válečného zpravodaje, politického činitele i propagátora sportu. Jako vynikající vypravěč dokáže nejen v ringu nebo na bitevním poli, ale i ve sférách zdánlivě krotkých, například v oblasti vědeckého bádání nebo společenského života, nalézt vzrušení. V drobných prózách se setkáváme s malebnou škálou figur a figurek a postupně nám dochází, že pod barvotiskovým vyobrazením udatných mužů se Doyle jako mistr svého řemesla ve druhém plánu často vysmívá pompézně sebevědomým hlupákům a dovedně paroduje různé literární žánry. Při četbě knihy Z kroniky dobrodružství si uvědomíme, že jeho shovívavý humor je sice možná v našem literárním zatím prostředí nedoceněn, ale že podtrhává význam lidských vlastností, jako jsou neokázalé hrdinství, smysl pro čest nebo síla charakteru. A ty jsou aktuální v každé době, zejména v té naší.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle působil jako lékař, laický kazatel, spiritista, historik a reformátor občanského života. Světovou proslulost získal nesmrtelnou postavou londýnského detektiva Sherlocka Holmese, ovšem kromě toho napsal celou řadu povídek a románů se silným spirituálním podtextem, díky nimž je možné ho považovat za jednoho z předchůdců vědecko-fantastické literatury. V češtině dosud nepublikovaná kniha Z hlubin věků obsahuje kratší prózy z období starověku a středověku, které se týkají důležitých momentů v dějinách lidstva, například odchodu Římanů z Británie, dobytí Kartága, šíření křesťanství, hunského tažení do Asie a Evropy nebo vzniku islámu. Vzhledem ke svým rozsáhlým znalostem historie a také cestovatelským zkušenostem podává A. C. Doyle obraz doby s detailní přesností a literárně ho rozvíjí do té míry, aby přiměl čtenáře uvažovat v širších souvislostech. Tyto jedinečné povídky jsou aktuální dodnes, protože přinášejí hluboké sondy do mechanismů moci a poskytují silné náměty k zamyšlení nad morálkou a duchovními kořeny novodobé společnosti.

Audiokniha: Také se domníváte, že Arthur Conan Doyle = příběhy Sherlocka Holmese, a nic víc? A přece Doyle napsal několik desítek knih - románů, povídkových sbírek, ba i básní. Kapitán Polární hvězdy - příběh velrybářské lodi uvězněné v ledu arktického moře, napovídá, že jde o příběhy dobrodružné, nevšední, s překvapivým rozuzlením ? příběhy, které přesvědčivě dokazují, že tato část povídkové tvorby Doylovy je neprávem opomíjena.
