https://www.esperanto.be/fel/mon/rec/cbas.html Some books have such a grip on the popular imagination that it is easy to fall under the mistaken impression that you know them very well. One such novel is certainly Conan Doyle's “The Hound of the Baskervilles”, in which the great “consulting detective” Sherlock Holmes solves the mystery of a spectral hound haunting the scions of a wealthy family on the bleak Devon moors. I vaguely recall reading “The Hound of the Baskervilles” in my early teens. Fresh from a week’s stay in Dartmoor, I returned to it, and was surprised to discover that my impressions of the novel were based less on my recollections than on misconceptions and second-hand retellings. For one thing, at the very beginning of the book I noticed an element of what could only be “self-parody”. Consider the following extract from the opening chapter, which led me to double-check whether I was reading the original text or a spoof: I stood upon the hearth-rug and picked up the stick which our visitor had left behind him the night before... "Well, Watson, what do you make of it?" Holmes was sitting with his back to me, and I had given him no sign of my occupation. "How did you know what I was doing? I believe you have eyes in the back of your head." "I have, at least, a well-polished, silver-plated coffee-pot in front of me," said he. Although the setting of the story is before Holmes’s presumed death at the Reichenbach Falls in (what should have been) his “Final Problem”, the Hound of the Baskervilles was the work in which Holmes returned to print after an absence of eight years to appease the public clamour for a new adventure featuring the seemingly omniscient detective. Conan Doyle’s playful opening scene might be poking fun not only at his own characters but also at the public’s obsession with his creation. I was also surprised at the fact that, for the greater part of the novel, Watson is the protagonist. Certainly, the “presence” of Holmes hovers over each chapter, but putting Watson in the foreground gives the book a particular flavour. As Anthony Lejeune puts it in his foreword to this Capuchin Classics edition, you can stereotype Holmes but not Watson. It also makes this more of an “adventure story” than a “puzzle-solving” crime novel. The most striking fact about Doyle’s “little book” however is how much it owes to the Gothic genre. Whilst most Holmes stories have a gothic element, this is generally of the Dickensian “London” type, where evil is battled in foggy city streets. Here however we’re in the classic territory of solitary country mansions, nightly terrors, eerie moorland, mires which entrap unwary men and beasts, escaped convicts, femmes fatales, family curses and, to top it all, a giant ghostly hound with flaring nostrils. And although the final neat (yet complex) solution explains away the supernatural trappings (as is typical of that strand of “rationalistic” Gothic which runs from Ann Radcliffe to Scooby-Doo), the brooding sense of fear and dread is difficult to shake off and gives the novel its distinctive aftertaste. This is an undisputed classic. Muito bom, gosto de livros que nos pegam de surpresa. 3.5 stars 848447111X
“Sherlock Holmes Baskervillerin köpeği” sir Arthur Conan Doyle tarafından yazılan bir polisiye romanıdır. Romanda dünyaca ünlü dedektif Sherlock Holmes ve en yakın arkadaşı doktor Watson Baskervillerin mirasçılarını öldüren Köpeğı bulmaya çalışıyorlar. Bence bu kitabın en iyi yanı kırmızı ringa balığı safsatasını ne kadar iyi kullanması. Aslında masum olan insanlar çok şüpheli devraniyorlar, ve senin dikkatini gittikçe çekiyorlar, çünkü onları suçlu sanıyorsun, günün sonunda da bu garıp davranışları için çok bariz bir neden veriyorlar, ve seni masumiyetleri ile şaşırtıyorlar. Bu kitabın en iyi diğer yanı ise Karakterleri. Özellikle Sherlock çok ilgi çekici biri, ama yan karakterler de eşsiz karakterleri ile hikayeye özel bir dokunuş katıyorlar. Çok sevmediğim şeylerden biri Sherlock’un bu romanda çok büyük bir rol oynaması, çoğu detektiflik işini Watson yapıyor, ve kitap da onun perspektifinden yazılmış ( ama bu perspektif şeyi bütün Sherlock Holmes kitaplarında öyle). Ama Kitabı kesinlikle herkese öneririm, bir klasik sayılır ve karakterlerın dinamiği gerçekten enteresan. Cinayet de çok heyecan verici, ve inanılmaz şaşırtırıcı bir sonu var.
