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. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Audiokniha: Nejznámější dílo, ve kterém figuruje Sherlock Holmes. Hrůzostrašné zvíře obchází místními bažinami a naplňuje kletbu, která v minulosti padla na slavný baskervillský rod. Kdo za touto tragédií stojí, kdo spřádá plány, jak se zmocnit značného majetku? To pochopitelně odhalí nejlepší detektiv světa a jeho pomocník doktor Watson. Recenze: „Václav Knop sice využil k četbě starší překlad Františka Gela, ovšem v o několik let mladší variantě, než v jaké zaznívá právě v původním rozhlasovém zpracování. V této zmodernizované podobě překladatel sám přepsal některé původně archaické obraty a výrazy, takže sice stále působí mile starosvětsky, ale neuráží ani dnešní posluchače. Knopovo přímočaré vyprávění je fanouškům jistě dobře známé už z dříve nahraných povídek a dvou předchozích románů, netřeba jej tedy dlouze představovat.“ (knihydobrovsky.cz)
