Bøger af Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Denne Sherlock Holmes-roman blev bestilt i 1890 af "Lippincott’s" Magazine. Det er her, Watson taber sit hjerte til sin kommende hustru, Mary Morstan, da den unge guvernante kommer til Holmes med en bøn om at finde hendes forsvundne far. Fire år efter faderens mystiske forsvinden havde Miss Morstan modtaget en anonym gave, en stor prægtig perle. Siden havde hun fået en ny perle hvert år, uden at ane, hvem afsenderen var. Den dag, hun besøgte Baker Street 221 B, havde hun fået besked om at møde hendes ukendte velgører uden for Lyceum Teater samme aften. Mødet finder sted, og efterhånden som Holmes udreder flere og flere af de indviklede spor, viser Agra-perlerne sig at stå i forbindelse med et uhyggeligt mord og falskneri, der begynder med den indiske opstand og slutter med en nervepirrende natlig jagt på Themsen langs Londons dokker.

Who is the tall, mysterious figure seen lurking on the moor at night?

Can Holmes save the new owner of Baskerville Hall from the ancient family curse or will the hound claim yet another victim? Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859 -1930) was a British writer and physician. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction. Doyle was a prolific writer and his other works included fantasy and science fiction stories, plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels.

As a result, he became one of the best-paid authors of his time.

Die Klassiker des Horror-Genres von Poe über Stevenson bis Bram Stoker kommen in dieser Sammlung zu Wort. Ihre Erzählungen sind der schauerlichen Romantik verbunden, dem Übernatürlichen, welches sich der wissenschaftlichen Erklärung widersetzt: Geheimnisvoll wirken zerstörerische Kräfte im Abgrund der menschlichen Seele.
