Set against the foggy, mysterious backdrops of London and the English countryside, these are the first twelve stories ever published to feature the infamous Detective Sherlock Holmes and his side kick Doctor Watson. They first appeared as stories in the Strand Magazine and feature some of his most famous and enjoyable cases, including 'A Scandal in Bohemia', 'The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle' and 'The Red-headed League'.

The Poison Belt and Other Professor Challenger Stories - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Summoned from London, journalist Edward Malone, narrator of Arthur Conan Doyle’s prehistoric-adventure novel The Lost World, finds himself reunited with his erstwhile travelling companions at the country home of their leader, the indomitable Professor Challenger, who, confining his guests in a sealed room with the cylinders of oxygen they have brought at his request, informs them that the Earth is passing through an immense miasma of poisonous ether that will likely extirpate all life. And so the isolated inmates begin a grim and terrifying vigil – but will the toxic vapour dissipate before their limited supply of oxygen is exhausted?Presented here with two short stories representing further thrilling episodes in the illustrious career of Conan Doyle’s other great anti-hero, Professor Challenger – ‘The Disintegration Machine’ and ‘When the World Screamed’ – The Poison Belt is a tour de force of speculative fiction that is the equal of any of the author’s best-known works.The Poison Belt and Other Professor Challenger’s Stories is part of Alma Classics Arthur Conan Doyle Collection which includes: Tales of Adventure and Medical Life, Tales of Long Ago, Tales of Terror and Mystery, Tales of Twilight and the Unseen, The Lost World and The Tragedy of the Korosko.Alma Classics is committed to making available a wide range of literature from around the globe.

Pes rodu Baskervillů - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Vzdáváme hold A. C. Doyleovi vydáním čtyřdílné série jeho známých i poprvé přeložených próz. Po třech svazcích neholmesovských povídek (Tajemství a záhady a Dobrodružství na moři i na souši, Tajnosti z ordinací a laboratoří) nyní vychází čtvrtý, závěrečný díl. Ten věnujeme nejslavnějšímu detektivovi všech dob Sherlocku Holmesovi. Pes rodu Baskervilllů, bezkonkurenčně nejznámější dílo A. C. Doylea, vyšel na pokračování v časopise Strand v letech 1901–1902. Tou dobou už autor z duše nenáviděl svou literární postavu, jež zastínila vše, co jiného v životě vytvořil. Byl spisovatelem velmi plodným: napsal více než tři sta beletristických děl (v tom 24 romány) a více než 1200 dalších prozaických prací, mimo jiné monumentální šestisvazkové dějiny 1. světové války. Přesto se při zmínce o tomto spisovateli každému ihned vybaví excentrický detektiv z Baker Street! Doyle to sice cítil jako křivdu, avšak jeho příběhy o Holmesovi, tyto pohádky pro dospělé, se těší značné oblibě i dnes. Nejenže v nich dobro vítězí nad zlem a pevná morálka nad zkažeností – jejich kouzlo spočívá i v romantickém koloritu místa a doby, v nichž se odehrávají. Slavný román o psu z dartmoorských blat vychází v novém překladu a s novým českým názvem. Nechme se znovu okouzlit fantazií a vypravěčským mistrovstvím sira Arthura Conana Doylea, jehož touha po poznání a po lepším světě oslovuje nové a nové generace čtenářů.

Autor se správně rozhodl pro formu krátkých povídek, v nichž mohl dát lépe vyniknout mimořádnému pozorovacímu talentu a logickým dedukcím tohoto detektiva.

Čtenář se nejprve dozví zajímavosti z pozadí vzniku románu, pozná zdroj autorovy inspirace, seznámí se s množstvím filmových, komiksových nebo rozhlasových adaptací a v neposlední řadě zde také nalezne přehled děl, která Ztracenému světu předcházela nebo naopak vznikla až po jeho vydání.

Dobrodružství na moři i na souši - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - e-kniha
eBook: Nechme se okouzlit vypravěčským mistrovstvím Arthura Conana Doylea, jehož dílo vyzařuje žíznivou zvědavost, roznícenou fantazii i neuhasitelnou touhu po lepším světě, což ho jednoznačně vřazuje do jednadvacátého století.Tento druhý svazek zahrnuje Doyleovy prózy s dobrodružnými náměty, a to v moderním a jiskřivém českém překladu, přičemž některé z těchto próz vycházejí česky vůbec poprvé. Doyle se intenzivně zajímal o tajemné události a jevy, takže reagoval i na záhadné zmizení americké lodi Marie Celeste, jež byla nalezena roku 1872 opuštěná u Azorských ostrovů za okolností, o nichž se dodnes pouze spekuluje. O vysvětlení se Doyle pokusil v povídce Zpráva J. Habakuka Jephsona. Dalším nevšedním tvůrčím počinem je Vězňova obhajoba, která tvoří pandán ke známé holmesovské povídce Poslední poklona, v níž se Sherlock Holmes ve službách vlasti ujímá role falešného špiona.Třetí svazek, jenž vyjde s několikaměsíčním odstupem, ponese název Doktoři a další vědci. Čtyřdílnou Doyleovskou sérii uzavřeme novým překladem slavného Psa baskervillského, jehož vydání doprovodí působivé dobové ilustrace.

The Complete Sherlock Holmes
A master of deductive reasoning who can solve the most difficult crimes by spotting obscure clues overlooked by others, dilettante sleuth Sherlock Holmes was the hero of 60 stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle between 1887 and 1927. With the help of his loyal friend, Doctor Watson, Holmes brought countless crooks, thieves, swindlers, and murderers to justice. He even rose from the dead after Doyle tried to dispatch him in his twenty-fourth adventure, and readers protested. Some Sherlock Holmes stories rank among the most famous in detective fiction, among them "A Study in Scarlet," "A Scandal in Bohemia," "The Speckled Band," and "The Hound of the Baskervilles." Here, in one volume, are all four full-length novels and 56 short stories about the colorful adventures of Sherlock Holmes—every word Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ever wrote about Baker Street's most famous resident. Also included is an introduction by lifetime Sherlockians Barbara and Christopher Roden. The Complete Sherlock Holmes is one of Barnes & Noble's Collectible Editions classics.
