内容简介: 一个世纪以来,福尔摩斯的故事一直在读者的想象世界里有一种特殊的魔力。
这本新的选集收入了12个经典故事,全方位呈现出他们那个想象世界的元素:伦敦阴郁的浓雾、住在破烂宅邸里那些没用的贵族后裔,以及在大英帝国遥远角落里隐藏的凶案。这些故事从福尔摩斯推理生涯的早期跨越到终点,另外还收录了可单独成书的《四个签名》。巴里?麦克里教授的导读则向我们揭示了故事表面之下的复杂暗流。
For more than a century the Holmes stories have held a strange grip on the popular imagination.
This new selection of twelve of the best stories is designed to give readers a full sense of their world: the brooding fog of London ruined heirs in creaking mansions and hidden crimes in the farthest-flung corners of the British Empire. They take Holmes’s career from its early days to its close and include the book-length The Sign of the Four. Barry McCrea’s introduction investigates the complex currents that lie beneath their surface.
