''Detection is, or ought to be, an exact science''For more than a century the Holmes stories have held a strange, almost inexplicable grip on the popular imagination. They are intimately associated with late Victorian and Edwardian society, yet curiously timeless in their appeal. The characters of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, together with their housekeeper Mrs Hudson and their address at 221B Baker Street are as familiar today as when they made their first appearance in the late 1880s. The stories have been endlessly interpreted, adapted, and modernized, but still it is to Arthur Conan Doyle''s originals that we return. This new selection of some of the best of them is designed to give readers a full sense of their world: the brooding fog of London, ruined heirs in creaking mansions, and hidden crimes in the farthest-flung corners of the British Empire. The stories take Holmes''s career from its early days to its close, and include the book-length Sign of the Four. Barry McCrea''s introduction investigates the currents that lie beneath their surface.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

Výběr čtyř příběhů slavného detektiva Sherlocka Holmese obsahuje následující povídky: Skandál v Čechách, kde neporazitelného detektiva překoná ženský důvtip, Ligu zrzavých, příběh o nezdařeném pokusu o velkou bankovní loupež, Případ totožnosti, v němž prostoduchá mladá dědička v den svatby marně čeká na svého ženicha, a příběh Pět pomerančových jadérek, kdy Sherlock Holmes nedokáže včas zabránit dovršení tragédie jedné rodiny. Mistr dedukce tedy i přes rozluštění všech záhad nevychází z každého případu jako absolutní vítěz. - The collection of four stories about the famous detective Sherlock Holmes contains the following short stories: A Scandal in Bohemia, where the invincible detective is overcome by female wit, The Adventure of the Red-headed League, the story of a failed attempt on a big bank robbery, A Case of Identity, in which a simple-minded young heiress awaits in vain her groom on her wedding day, and The Five Orange Pips, when Sherlock Holmes cannot prevent in time the completion of the tragedy in one family. So despite unravelling all the mysteries, the master of deduction is not an absolute winner in solving of each case.

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.

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."

''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.
