Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had established his private practice in London but lack of clientele and financial difficulties drove him to bring back his famed investigator. Published in fascicles in the Strand Magazine between 1891 and 1892, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is comprised of 12 short stories that, because of their brevity, imagination and literary skill, are probably Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s masterpiece.
Description in Spanish: Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes se publicaron por entregas en el Strand Magazine entre 1891 y 1892. Por aquel entonces Conan Doyle había establecido su consulta en Londres y, obligado por la falta de clientes y los problemas económicos, decidió retomar a su héroe, puesto que éste contaba ya con una legión de admiradores. Estos doce relatos son, por su brevedad, imaginación y habilidad literaria, probablemente la obra maestra de su autor.

In this adventure-filled book, the clues, bad guys, suspicion and intrigue multiply with each case. So do the conversations filled with Holmes coherently delirious reflections and deep thought: I am going to smoke. It is quite a three pipe problem and I beg that you won t speak to me for the next fifty minutes. All this amidst a dramatic world filled with Holmes various disguises and a changing London backdrop. And let us not forget about the only women for whom the misogynous Holmes holds admiration.
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes brings together a group of cases that are by no means elementary and for which Watson exclaims, "Dear friend, I wouldn t miss it for the world."
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a British author who is best known for his stories about detective Sherlock Holmes and the adventures of Professor Challenger.
