   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  Ghost_Boy | Aug 25, 2022 |   Belarmino | Dec 25, 2021 | A Study in Scarlet was okay, did remember too many details for it to be really surprising. cwebb | Aug 3, 2020 | wduncan2 | Jul 11, 2020 | Invece piacevolmente sorpreso. E' vero che i libri di SH sono gialli in cui il lettore non ha assolutamente modo di indovinare la storia e l'assassino, però è scritto bene, divertente e davvero un bel libro, che mostra modi di scrivere diversi e tutti interessanti. Ottimo davvero, ed ottime le storie scelte! (  ) Iacopo.Venni | Nov 14, 2014 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

"All four legendary Sherlock Holmes novels, collected in a unique Graphic Deluxe Edition with an introduction by Michael Dirda Though endlessly reinterpreted, reinvented, and imitated, the Sherlock Holmes stories have never been surpassed. Sporting his signature billowing coat and pipe in hand, the genius investigator Holmes captivates readers with his alluring melancholy and superhuman intuition, while his partner, Dr. Watson, remains ever the perfect foil, a classic Victorian gentleman with brilliant intellect. Collected here are all four Holmes novels--A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and The Valley of Fear--tracing the origins of the pair up through showdowns with their greatest archenemies, including the infamous Professor Moriarty. Set in the seductive shadow world of Victorian London, the stories of Holmes and Watson live on, as immediate and original in our time as in their own. For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

One thing that surprised me is that Sherlock Holmes isn't a likable character. He's a flawed hero. You could argue that Watson is the actual hero of these books. For me, it was essay to compare Holmes with James Bond. More people think about the movies over the books. They make them these flawless characters when they aren't. Thy both have vices: Bond is a chain smoker and Holmes has a cocaine addiction. I think both writers wanted to make there heroes more human than making them godlike.
If you never read Sherlock Holes before I'd start with a complete collection of his novels or read his short story collection of Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Yes this is a series, but unlike most series there is no real order. I'm just saying, from personal experience, if I had started with only his fist novel A Study in Scarlet, I wouldn't like these books as much. Not the weakest book, but tat one felt it was a little too much. The Mormon cult didn't do it for me. However, as much as these books are a product of there time they are worth reading. Doyle created the worlds most famous detective and the archetype for all detective stories. (
