Audies (2014)

Nivelul de studiu vizat pentru acest volum este cel de referință academică în domeniul literaturii victoriene sau de bază pentru orice bibliotecă personală de beletristică. Ne-a atras atenția această ediție integrală deoarece reușește să reunească întreaga operă canonică a lui Arthur Conan Doyle, oferind un parcurs cronologic complet de la debutul detectivului în „A Study in Scarlet” (1887) până la ultimele povestiri publicate în 1927. Notăm cu interes prezența prefeței semnate de Daniel Stashower, un element care adaugă valoare critică textului, oferind context istoric și biografic necesar pentru înțelegerea evoluției personajului de la 221B Baker Street.

Putem afirma că structura volumului permite o analiză aprofundată a metodei deductive, pornind de la romanele de referință precum The Hound of the Baskervilles până la subtilitățile din The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes. Cititorii familiarizați cu The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes vor aprecia acest volum pentru caracterul său exhaustiv, eliminând necesitatea achiziționării separate a colecțiilor de povestiri. Față de edițiile fragmentate, această versiune Bantam Classics păstrează integritatea textului original, fiind un instrument esențial pentru studiul evoluției genului polițist. În contextul operei autorului, lucrarea se distinge de scrierile sale de factură istorică sau science-fiction, precum cele despre Profesorul Challenger, consolidând poziția lui Holmes ca piatră de temelie a ficțiunii cu detectivi, așa cum sublinia și publicația The Times.

Despre autor

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859–1930) a fost un scriitor și medic britanic, a cărui contribuție la literatura universală a fost marcată definitiv de crearea lui Sherlock Holmes în 1887. Deși a fost un autor prolific, scriind de la romane istorice și piese de teatru până la poezie și lucrări despre spiritualism, succesul său global se datorează celor patru romane și cincizeci și șase de povestiri dedicate detectivului din Baker Street. Opera sa a stabilit standardele moderne pentru genul polițist, Doyle fiind recunoscut pentru introducerea metodelor științifice de investigație în narațiunea literară, o reflectare a propriei sale pregătiri medicale.

Descriere scurtă

Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective created by Scottish author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a graduate of the University of Edinburgh Medical School. A London-based "consulting detective" whose abilities border on the fantastic, Holmes is known for his astute logical reasoning, his ability to adopt almost any disguise and his use of forensic science to solve difficult cases. Holmes, who first appeared in print in 1887, was featured in four novels and 56 short stories. The first novel, A Study in Scarlet, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual in 1887 and the second, The Sign of the Four, in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in 1890. The character's popularity grew with the first series of short stories in The Strand Magazine, beginning with "A Scandal in Bohemia" in 1891; additional short-story series and two novels (published in serial form) appeared from then to 1927. The events in the stories take place from about 1880 to 1914. All but four stories are narrated by Holmes's friend and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson. Two are narrated by Holmes himself ("The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier" and "The Adventure of the Lion's Mane"), and two others are written in the third person ("The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone" and "His Last Bow"). In two stories ("The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual" and "The Adventure of the Gloria Scott"), Holmes tells Watson the story from his memory, with Watson narrating the frame story. The first and fourth novels, A Study in Scarlet and The Valley of Fear, include long passages of omniscient narrative of events unknown to either Holmes or Watson.

Notă biografică

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born on May 22, 1859, in Edinburgh. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh and began to write stories while he was a student. Over his life he produced more than 30 books, 150 short stories, poems, plays, and essays across a wide range of genres. His most famous creation is the detective Sherlock Holmes, who he introduced in his first novel, A Study in Scarlet (1887). This was followed in 1889 by an historical novel, Micah Clarke. In 1893 Conan Doyle published The Final Problem in which he killed off his famous detective so that he could turn his attention more toward historical fiction. However, Holmes was so popular that Conan Doyle eventually relented and published The Hound of the Baskervilles in 1901. The events of the The Hound of the Baskervilles are set before those of The Final Problem, but in 1903 new Sherlock Holmes stories began to appear that revealed that the detective had not died after all. He was finally retired in 1927. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle died on July 7, 1930.

Recenzii

“Sherlock Holmes is the very foundation stone of the edifice that is crime fiction.”
— The Times
"Arthur Conan Doyle is unique in simultaneously bringing the curtain down on an era and raising one on another, ushering in a genre of writing that, while imitated and expanded, has never been surpassed" -- Stephen Fry "Sherlock Holmes is the very foundation stone of the edifice that is crime fiction" The Times "I read these stories when I was a child and discussed them endlessly with my grandfather: one of my earliest literary memories. I know all the solutions off by heart now but it doesn't matter because the brilliance of the stories lies in the relationship between Holmes and Watson, which is both funny and touching" -- Jonathan Coe Sunday Express "Now, as in his lifetime, cab drivers, statesmen, academics, and raggedy-arsed children sit spellbound at his feet -proof, if proof were needed, that Doyle's modesty of language conceals a profound tolerance of the human complexity... No wonder, then, if the pairing of Holmes and Watson has triggered more imitators than any other duo in literature. Contemporary cop dramas draw on them repeatedly" -- John Le Carre The Times "Too much Holmes is no more likely than too much foie gras and no less desirable... Will delight his fans" -- Oliver Marre Observer
