El archivo de Sherlock Holmes Doyle A. Alianza

En 1891, à l’issue d’un combat mortel avec son ennemi de toujours, le professeur Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes disparaît et tout le monde le croit mort. Mais, trois ans plus tard, sous la pression conjointe de ses lecteurs et de son éditeur, Conan Doyle se voit contraint de le « ressusciter » ! C’est dans La maison vide, la première des treize nouvelles de ce recueil – dans laquelle Holmes découvrira qui a assassiné l’honorable Ronald Adair – , qu’on apprend de la bouche même du fameux détective comment il a pu réchapper d’une mort certaine… Et, comme il se doit, nous devons à l’excellent Watson le récit de ces affaires palpitantes : La maison vide, L’entrepreneur de Norwood, Les hommes dansants, La cycliste solitaire, L’école du prieuré, Peter le noir, Charles-Auguste Milverton, Les six Napoléons, Les trois étudiants, Le pince-nez en or, Un trois-quarts a été perdu !, Le manoir de l’abbaye, La deuxième tache

'"Holmes!" I cried. "Is it really you? Can it indeed be that you are alive? Is it possible that you succeeded in climbing out of that awful abyss?"' • The one and only Sherlock Holmes is sensationally back from the dead, and devoting his life once more to examining the criminal complexities of the capital. Cases of mysterious codes, persecuted millionaires, stalkers, abductions and a meeting with 'the worst man in London' are all attacked with renewed vigour. But Holmes' old enemies are watching his every move. Watching, waiting, plotting

Que fait Sherlock Holmes toute la journée ? Il déduit et, de déduction en déduction, il découvre pourquoi les moutons boitent quand les chevaux de course disparaissent, pourquoi un homme en fait chanter un autre et pourquoi le colonel Barclay s'effondre, mort, dans son salon. C'est très clair, « élémentaire, mon cher Watson ! » Et les onze énigmes deviennent de simples histoires d'amour, de vengeance et de mort

'He is the Napoleon of Crime... He is the organiser of half that is evil and of nearly all that is undetected in this great city' • A man like Sherlock Holmes has many enemies. Violent murderers, deviant villains, ghosts of old loves, blackmailers and poisonous scribes, to name but a few. But none are so deadly, so powerful, as Professor Moriarty. Moriarty - the only man who can compete with Holmes' genius. The only man who can, perhaps, ultimately defeat the great detective

'I have heard, Mr. Holmes, that you can see deeply into the manifold wickedness of the human heart.' • Scandal, treachery and crime are rife in Old London Town. A king blackmailed by his mistress, dark dealings in Opium dens, stolen jewels, a missing bride - these are cases so fiendishly complex that only the great Sherlock Holmes would dare to investigate. For he, and he alone, has the extraordinary faculty of perception and almost unhuman energy which could solve them

Trasladado a los inhospitos y desolados paramos de la region de Dartmoor, Holmes se enfrenta al reto de resolver un enigmatico crimen relacionado con el espectro de un perro diabolico y sobrenatural, instrumento de la maldicion que pesa sobre una familia. A caballo entre el relato de misterio y el cuento de terror," El sabueso de los Baskerville" (1902) supuso de hecho — si bien encubierto como recuerdo tardio de su inseparable doctor Watson — el regreso a la actividad de Sherlock Holmes, despues de que Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), cansado de la preponderancia que la figura del detective habia alcanzado en su obra, le hubiera hecho desaparecer algunos anos antes junto con su antagonista, el doctor Moriarty, en las cataratas de Reichenbach
