Londra, 1881. Un medic militar rănit în Afganistan își caută un loc unde să trăiască. Dr. Watson îl întâlnește pe Stamford la Restaurantul Criterion și soarta literaturii se schimbă. Observăm cum o simplă nevoie de a împărți chiria la 221B Baker Street devine fundamentul celui mai faimos parteneriat din istoria genului polițist. Apreciem cum Arthur Conan Doyle introduce un detectiv care nu doar observă, ci analizează, gustă și adulmecă urmele lăsate de crimă. Tensiunea se instalează rapid când bobiții britanici se declară depășiți de un cadavru fără cauze aparente de deces. Holmes numește investigația studiul său în stacojiu: firul roșu al crimei care trebuie extras din ghemul incolor al vieții. Atmosfera te trimite cu gândul la The Sign of the Four, deși structura bicefală a acestui roman marchează o voce proprie. Credem că trecerea bruscă în Partea a II-a, spre câmpiile arzătoare din Utah, este un pariu narativ îndrăzneț. Această lucrare pune bazele universului explorat ulterior în The Return of Sherlock Holmes sau The Hound of the Baskervilles, transformând metoda științifică în instrument de investigație. Ritmul este alert, întrerupt de momente de observație pură, pregătind cititorul pentru o rezolvare ce depășește granițele Londrei victoriene.

Despre autor

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859–1930) a fost un scriitor și medic britanic, a cărui carieră a fost definită de crearea lui Sherlock Holmes în 1887. Deși este celebru pentru cele patru romane și cincizeci și șase de povestiri cu Holmes, Doyle a fost un autor prolific, abordând genuri variate precum science-fiction, prin seria cu Profesorul Challenger, sau ficțiune istorică. Experiența sa medicală a infuzat proza cu o rigoare științifică rară în epocă, transformând personajul său principal într-un simbol global al rațiunii aplicate în rezolvarea crimelor.

Notă biografică

Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a Scottish author best known for his classic detective fiction, although he wrote in many other genres including dramatic work, plays, and poetry. He began writing stories while studying medicine and published his first story in 1887. His Sherlock Holmes character is one of the most popular inventions of English literature, and has inspired films, stage adaptions, and literary adaptations for over 100 years.

Descriere scurtă

Now, as in this lifetime, cab drivers, statesmen, academics, and raggedy-assed children sit spellbound at his feet. No wonder, then, if the pairing of Holmes and Watson has triggered more imitators than any other duo in literature."-John Le Carré "The immense talent, passion and literary brilliance that Conan Doyle brought to his work gives him a unique place in English letters."-Stephen Fry "Holmes has a timeless talent, passion and literary brilliance that puts him heads, shoulders and deerstalker above all other detectives."- Alexander McCall Smith Arthur Conan Doyle's A Study in Scarlet (1888) is the first of four of the original Sherlock Holmes novels and introduced the world to the most famous detective duo in literature. From the initial discovery of a corpse in a deserted house in London, to the wild west of the pioneer days of Utah, this is transatlantic crime adventure steeped in mystery, romance and delectable revenge. A Study in Scarlet was initially published in the magazine Beeton's Christmas Annual in 1887 to little fanfare, yet was the foundation of the 56 stories, four novels, and the portrayal of the character of Sherlock Holmes in hundreds of literary, film, television and stage adaptations. In the first of the Sherlock Holmes novels, the reader is initially introduced to Dr. John Watson, who has returned to London after sustaining injuries in the Anglo-Afghan war. Looking for cheap lodging, he settles on sharing a flat at 221B Baker Street with a laid-back yet eccentric roommate named Sherlock Holmes. Watson is perplexed at the theories of deduction that his new acquaintance s developed, until his occupation of Consulting Detective is revealed. Subsequently, a telegram arrives from Scotland Yard requesting the aid of Holmes's talents in a mystifying murder case. In an empty house in Brixton, the body of Enoch Drebber has been found. When both Holmes and Watson arrive at the crime scene they find the body of the poisoned victim, with the word "Rache" written in blood on the wall. Through other clues, including a wedding ring found in the trousers of the victim, the context of the crime seems nearly impenetrable. When a second body is discovered, with the word "Rache" once again scrawled in blood. With his astounding skill, Holmes is able to lead the killer directly into his trap. Once the killer is revealed, it is his heartbreaking story, set in the lawless wilds of the pioneering days of the American West that is told. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of A Study in Scarlet is both modern and readable.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life.' In Arthur Conan Doyle's A Study in Scarlet a popular cultural phenomenon is born. We meet two of the most famous characters in modern literary history: the consulting detective Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, an army doctor home on sick leave, for the first time. Through Watson we learn a little about the eccentric figure who is his new room-mate at 221B Baker Street, before they encounter their first case: an American visitor to the city has been killed in an empty house off the Brixton Road, and the only clue the police have is the mysterious word 'Rache', scrawled in blood-red letters on the wall. As Holmes sets to work with his unique forensic methods, behind the murder a tangled skein of love, religion, and revenge gradually unwinds, taking us from the streets of London to the Utah Territory, and back again. As Nicholas Daly's Introduction describes, out of this gripping tale grew the Holmes and Watson stories that would make Conan Doyle the best-paid author of his time. His creations have become household words, inspiring not only countless adaptations and imitations, but a Sherlock Holmes museum, Sherlock Holmes-themed pubs, and a whole array of Holmesian merchandise, from cushions to jigsaw puzzles. Here, though, we meet Holmes and Watson before they became famous, and we can see how their extraordinary impact on our popular culture derives from the late-Victorian world from which they emerge.
