Sherlock Holmes: The Hound of the Baskervilles (English Edition) : The Most Famous Sherlock Holmes Novel in the Original English Text

Que faut-il savoir sur ce produit ?

A legend from the past. A death on the moor. A hound no living man can explain. After the death of Sir Charles Baskerville, an old family curse seems to have returned to the desolate country around Baskerville Hall. The story tells of a monstrous hound that has haunted the Baskerville line for generations — and now the last heir, Sir Henry Baskerville, may be its next victim. Sherlock Holmes is sceptical of ghosts, but the facts are strange enough to demand his attention: a terrified corpse, enormous paw prints, a warning letter, a missing boot and a shadowy figure moving through the darkness of Dartmoor. While Holmes remains in London, Dr Watson travels to the moor to protect Sir Henry and report every clue. What begins as a tale of superstition becomes a case of inheritance, identity and murder. Among the fog, the mire and the ruins of an old family history, Holmes and Watson must uncover whether the hound is a creature of legend — or the instrument of a very human crime. The Hound of the Baskervilles is one of Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous works, blending the logic of the detective story with the suspense of the gothic novel. First serialised in 1901-1902 and published in book form in 1902, it is presented here as Volume 5 of The Complete Sherlock Holmes Collection, arranged according to the order of original publication.
