About the author

... Show More
Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle 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. In addition to the Holmes stories, his works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger, and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement" (1884), helped to popularise the mystery of the brigantine Mary Celeste, found drifting at sea with no crew member aboard.

Empecé este libro en 2017 y un embarazo y una mudanza me hicieron dejar este y otros libros aparcados. He querido retomarlo aunque, en esta ocasión, decidí comenzarlo de nuevo y que genialidad. Jamás había disfrutado tanto un libro de relatos.

En primer llegar, me ha encantado reencontrarme con Sherlock y su querido Watson, narrador y ayudante de todas las historias que aquí se recogen. En segundo lugar , porque no recordaba lo bien escritas que están, que manera de atrapar al lector con casos extraños y disparatados que acaban con una resolución impecable.

En las historias encontraremos un poco de todo, robos, desapariciones o crímenes. Volveremos a encontrarnos con el torpe de Lestrade de Scotland Yard y, al fin, conoceremos a Irene Adler, la gran Irene Adler.

He disfrutado todos y cada uno de los cuentos y ahora tengo muchas ganas de seguir con el siguiente libro. Aunque también tengo mis favoritos: Un escándalo en Bohemia (en el que aparece Irene), La liga de los pelirrojos (un caso muy divertido), El hombre del labio retorcido (muy original y que me recordó mucho a un capítulo de la famosa serie de la BBC) y La aventura del carbunclo azul (de los mejores, muy original). Como siempre os dejo mi interpretación de todos ellos en emojis:

1. Las aventuras de un escándalo en Bohemia

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is the third book in the Sherlock Holmes series. Instead of novels, Adventures is a short story compilation that collects twelve of Holmes' most well-known cases that range from early to late in the famous detective's career. From the first story, A Scandal in Bohemia, where Holmes takes on Irene Adler, Arthur Conan Doyle seems to want to provide a better perspective of the investigator, a more wholistic view of Holmes and his relationship with Watson, both before he got married and after. The Bohemia case is amazingly feminist for the fact it was written with Victorian ideals prevalent. In the Blue Carbuncle, the reader is treated to another iconic case where the Holmes considers a justice that is more social-conscious and less punitive. Truth be told, I enjoyed every single story, unique for its time, building a mystery genre that begins with a singular mind, colorful cases, and superior story-telling. At root, this is an excellent collection of tales that amplify the Sherlock Holmes mythos by demonstrating not only the extraordinary logic of Holmes' reasoning but also the tremendous joy he would experience via the process and the depressing valleys he would travel when not engaged in an investigation.

La tercera entrega de Arthur Conan Doyle sobre el más famoso y peculiar de los detectives consiste en una recopilación de doce cuentos cortos o, bien podríamos decir, doce misterios. Algunos más trágicos, otros más cómicos, un par puede que incluso predecibles pero, sin lugar a dudas, todos atrapantes y endiabladamente disfrutables.

Watson vuelve a ser el narrador de las osadas e ingeniosas aventuras de su excepcional amigo mientras Sherlock Holmes hace una vez más -o mejor dicho doce veces más- gala de una audacia analítica sin precedentes que convierte simples detalles en grandes revelaciones mediante mecanismos deductivos que parecen naturales para él, elementales incluso, pero irrevocablemente inauditos para aquellos a su alrededor.

Si tuviera que elegir mis tres favoritos, estos serían el misterio de Cooper Beeches, la banda de lunares y el pulgar del ingeniero. Gocé tremendamente sumergiéndome en cada uno de ellos y puede que el libro en sí mismo se haya posicionado por encima de estudio en escarlata y el signo de los cuatro al menos en mi ranking personal.

Oh my. So, I’ve never read any Sherlock Holmes novels before, but the Robert Downey Jr. movies are my absolute favorite. I came into this book anticipating 1800th century English writing, which I got, but I had zero expectations as to humor, having assumed that the movies were just clever adaptations of antiquated books. So color me DELIGHTED when these stories had many laugh out loud moments, and plenty of times that I was completely tickled. This is a collection of 12 short stories, all mysteries in some way, that were published separately as part of a newspaper series if I’m not mistaken. Each story is unique, with varying degrees of humor and darkness.

I guessed the outcome to several of them, but that was secondary in my enjoyment of this book. This entire novel was told in the first person by Dr. Watson, and I absolutely loved his perspective. Holmes is sharp and witty, delights is delivering shocking statements with utter nonchalance that never fail to scandalize Dr. Holmes, and made me giggle and sometimes throw back my head and laugh! That was my favorite aspect of these stories, the juxtaposition of the two men, one buttoned up and proper, one unorthodox and untamable. I can only imagine how charming people of that time found these stories to be, but I had a great time reading them.

He ido desmenuzando y degustando cada uno de estos casos.
Los casos me parecen interesantes, pero son casos menores dentro de la vida de Sherlock Holmes. Algunos casos se cierran apresuradamente y se nota que fueron publicados en revistas, aunque he de decir que aportan datos sobre la vida del gran detective. Por ejemplo: en uno de los casos Irene Adler y Holmes se conocen y esto será importante.
Los casos no son lineales en el tiempo. Saltan entre los años ya que en algunos de ellos Watson está casado y vive con Mary y, en cambio, en otros, Watson vive en el 221b de Baker Street.
Es un libro para quien desee conocer casos más pequeños en la historia de la gran pareja.

I have trashed out and tasted each of these cases.
The cases seem interesting to me, but they are minor cases in the life of Sherlock Holmes. Some cases are hastily closed and it is noticeable that they have been published in magazines, although I must say that they provide data on the life of the great detective. For example: in one case Irene Adler and Holmes meet and this will be important.
The cases are not linear in time. They jump between the years because in some of them Watson is married and lives with Mary, while in others Watson lives at 221b Baker Street.
It is a book for those who wish to learn about smaller cases in the history of the great couple.
