and provide a useful text for critical thinking

Dear Sir,Congratulations on writing a masterpiece. It is truly original and without a peer. This work, these novels are genius! And I don't say genius lightly (the word is bandied about haphazardly, especially in nyc, such as "this hamburger is genius, that designer of children's clothes is genius, that politician ((of unoriginal thought)) is genius). Your short, succinct novels are powerful telescopes into human action, taking us into areas of philosophy (logic) and forensic science. It is admirable that you can entertain us, teach the art of observation, and provide a useful text for critical thinking. As you are deceased, I ask that your estate pass out free copies to grade school educators - and get these kids thinking. Not only does your book pass the "lindy effect" test (longevity), but it is a book to re-read.RIP,Trey Gilbert

Master Storyteller

These Sherlock stories were stupendous! I was totally engrossed. So glad I bought this book of books. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a true "wordsmith". It

Weird

The book is a gift, it arrived fine but had a strange thing in the package. There is the hard cover for a commentary on a book of the Bible included in the package. ???

A Timeless Classic

I have always loved the work of Sir Conan Doyle His brilliance shines within the character that the world recognize as Sherlock Holmes and his partner, John Watson. Together, they solved crimes and share a mutual and comedic relationship that implant a feeling of exuberance every time I open the book.

A sinistra Londres de Holmes empresta uma atmosfera de contos de fadas.

“Mas nós seguramos vários fios em nossas mãos, e a probabilidade é que um ou outro deles nos guie até a verdade. Nós podemos perder tempo seguindo o fio errado, porém, mais cedo ou mais tarde, devemos chegar ao certo.”Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, O cão dos Baskerville – volume 2Li pela primeira vez as histórias de Sherlock Holmes aos 14 anos de idade, numa biblioteca pública de uma cidade do interior de São Paulo, e desde então fui incapaz de parar. Não me lembro o que me encantava na época, mas com certeza o enredo fácil e bem escrito foi um fator determinante. Outro fator contribuidor foi as ruas tortuosas e sinistras, as praças elegantes cobertas de nevoeiro. Como um homem que procura seu rumo numa biblioteca, Holmes pode traçar seu caminho em meio ao labirinto de Londres, recitando os nomes das ruas vistas de um cabriolé. Em contraste, fiquei chocado quando descobri no parágrafo de abertura de “O Signo dos Quatros”, que Holmes era viciado em cocaína. Pergunto: que autor popular de hoje em dia poderia tão abruptamente apresentar seu herói como viciado em drogas sem causar protestos de seu público? Hum...mas de que se trata a maioria das histórias? Da busca de equilíbrio como cura para o tédio. “Não posso viver sem trabalho intelectual. Que outra coisa justifica viver?”, Holmes questiona Watson. Equilíbrio é, talvez, o tema principal de toda história de detetive. Vingança (uma forma de equilíbrio). Causa e consequência (outra). Justiça (outra). P.D. James: “A história de detetive não é sobre o assassinato, mas sobre a restauração da ordem”. Ao contrário de Hamlet, Holmes não acredita em fantasmas. Ele pode arrombar um cofre ou falsificar uma cédula, fingir ser outra pessoa ou mentir para obter a informação de que precisa, e ainda assim permanecer completamente confiável e heroico aos olhos do leitor. Esses atos são mais transgressões de costumes do que de princípios morais, e Holmes está disposto a romper o código social. Boa leitura!
