Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes

arthur conan doyle alejandro pareja rodríguez

Cuando sir Arthur Conan Doyle convirtió en personaje popular su Sherlock Colmes, el público incondicional, habituado a leer novelas por entregas en los periódicos y revistas, demandó vorazmente nuevas historias ingeniosas y divertidas. Su autor, que sin duda prefería el relato corto a la novela de gran extensión, publicó varias decenas de nuevos casos para lucir la perspicacia de su detective y entretener los mejores ratos de sus lectores fieles. En esta selección –traducida nuevamente por Alejandro Pareja- se incluyen las doce aventuras favoritas del propio Conan Doyle y las que fueron seleccionadas por la revista Baker Street Journal en 1959.

About the author

arthur conan doyle

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.
