A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1887, Sherlock Holmes appears in four novels and fifty-six short stories. Although Holmes was not the first literary detective, he continues to have a perennial allure as the ultimate sleuth. As Holmes is being re-introduced to a new audience through TV and film, Cawthorne introduces the general reader to Holmes and his creator Arthur Conan Doyle. He gives a full biography of author as well as his creation, including his resurrection following his unlikely death at the hands of arch enemy, Moriarty. Cawthorne also surveys the world of Holmes, looking at Victorian crime, the real characters behind Dr Watson and Inspector Lestrade, as well as the world on the doorstep of 22b Baker Street.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The phenomenal history of the famous detective is finally compiled in one convenient volume for Holmes fans and scholars alike. No other volume on the classic novels and stories describes so fully the history of the character, from conception to his resurrection after his untimely death. Also included is a biography of author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, providing context for this timeless character. Cawthorne covers everything from the short stories to the film adaptations and why Holmes is such an enduring popular figure.
