Commemorative edition of the 125th anniversary of the first publication of the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, with the original illustrations by Sidney Paget. This hardcover edition brings together the first stories starring the emblematic detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The splendid translation by Esther Tusquets Guillén brings readers closer to some of Holmes' best-known mystery and murder stories, such as 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band' and 'The Five Orange Pips'.
Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a British writer and physician. He is best known for his four novels and fifty-six short stories about the fictional consulting detective Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson, which are milestones in crime fiction, and for his first work featuring Professor Challenger, The Lost World (1912), which gave its name to a subgenre of speculative fiction. He was a prolific writer who produced over 200 stories and articles, four volumes of poetry, and a number of works for the stage. He was knighted by King Edward VII in the 1902 Coronation Honours.
