Roman de boxe, d'humour et d'aventures, roman policier, fantastique et historique, tous ces genres se fondent dans Rodney Stone (1896), fresque sociale vue par les yeux d'un jeune villageois parti à la conquête de Londres. Tableau savoureux, pétillant, coloré, que domine l'esprit de compétition exprimé sous mille formes : tournois d'élégances, conversations truffées de réparties, paris, défis, courses endiablées, combats de boxe, enlèvements, assassinat, parties de cartes tragiques, soupers bruyants qui réunissent des lords raffinés et des boxeurs à dégrossir. A travers cette initiation d'un adolescent à l'âme simple et moyenne, Conan Doyle se révèle digne de R.L. Stevenson, Charles Dickens et Henry Fielding. Rodney Stone is a pre-Regency mystery. ACD notes in his preface: Amongst the books to which I am indebted for my material in my endeavour to draw various phases of life and character in England at the beginning of the century, I would particularly mention Ashton's "Dawn of the Nineteenth Century;" Gronow's "Reminiscences;" Fitzgerald's "Life and Times of George IV.;" Jesse's "Life of Brummell;" "Boxiana;" "Pugilistica;" Harper's "Brighton Road;" Robinson's "Last Earl of Barrymore" and "Old Q.;" Rice's "History of the Turf;" Tristram's "Coaching Days;" James's "Naval History;" Clark Russell's "Collingwood" and "Nelson."

HTML: In Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes' stories, the titular detective is described in passing as a skilled amateur boxer. In the novel Rodney Stone, however, Conan Doyle dives much deeper into the world of pugilism, combining a satisfying mystery plot with the tale of an up-and-coming young boxer who rubs shoulders with many of England's most renowned nineteenth-century athletes and personages. .No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
