New Releases by ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE

Une lettre anonyme met en garde sir Henry Baskerville : « prenez garde à la lande ». À peine arrivé à Londres, le dernier héritier d''une vieille famille anglaise se trouve mêlé à une affaire où la peur semble régner autant que le crime. Le docteur Mortimer raconte à Sherlock Holmes la légende du chien des Baskerville, née d''un récit ancien : sur la lande de Dartmoor, une créature noire aurait poursuivi et détruit les Baskerville depuis des générations. Mais l''enquête de Holmes refuse les explications faciles. Entre Baskerville Hall, l''allée des Ifs, les habitants de Grimpen et les solitudes de la lande, chaque détail compte : des empreintes, des signaux dans la nuit, des lettres découpées dans les journaux, un passé trouble et des intérêts bien actuels. Watson, envoyé sur place, observe la vie du domaine, les secrets des voisins et les mouvements autour du château, tandis que Holmes reconstitue un plan où la superstition sert de masque. Roman d''atmosphère et de déduction, Le chien des Baskerville mêle tension, paysages sauvages et logique implacable : une menace qui paraît surnaturelle, un héritage convoité, une course contre le temps pour protéger sir Henry et démasquer l''auteur d''une machination.

L''Aventure de Shoscombe Old Place (The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place en version originale), est la dernière des cinquante-six nouvelles d''Arthur Conan Doyle mettant en scène le détective Sherlock Holmes. Elle est parue pour la première fois le 5 mars 1927 dans l''hebdomadaire américain Liberty, avant d''être regroupée avec d''autres nouvelles dans le recueil Les Archives de Sherlock Holmes (The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes). Résumé Mystère initial Au 221B Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes a reçu une lettre de John Mason, un entraîneur équestre résidant au manoir de Shoscombe Old Place. Holmes demande des informations sur les habitants du manoir à Watson car ce dernier y a eu ses « quartiers d''été » auparavant. Watson évoque sir Robert Noberton, dont John Mason est l''employé. Sir Robert est un homme qui aime le jeu et les femmes, mais dont les finances sont au plus mal. Sir Robert n''est pas le maître des lieux : Shoscombe Old Place appartient à sa sœur lady Beatrice Falder, veuve, âgée, et en mauvaise santé. De plus, lady Beatrice n''est en réalité qu''usufruitière de la demeure, qui reviendra au frère de son défunt mari lorsqu''elle décèdera. À la suite du récit de Watson, John Mason arrive à l''appartement du détective. Mason explique qu''une course hippique va bientôt se jouer, et que sir Robert a emprunté beaucoup d''argent pour parier sur l''un de ses poulains particulièrement bien entrainé. Une victoire sauverait ses finances, dans le cas contraire la ruine serait catastrophique. Le sujet qui préoccupe John Mason est l''étrange comportement depuis une semaine de sir Robert et de lady Beatrice. Cette dernière, qui aimait particulièrement les chevaux de l''écurie, ne montre plus aucune affection pour eux, et s''est mise à boire. Quant à sir Robert, il a confisqué l''épagneul de sa sœur et l''a confié à Josiah Barnes, un aubergiste tenant son affaire à proximité du manoir. La possibilité d''une violente dispute entre le frère et la sœur est alors envisagée : peut-être lady Beatrice a-t-elle appris que sa femme de chambre, Carrie Evans, avait eu une liaison avec sir Robert. Cependant, le mystère va plus loin : Mason et le majordome Stephens ont découvert que sir Robert s''est rendu de nuit dans une crypte située au fond du parc du manoir pour y rencontrer un inconnu. Il semble de plus que, dans cette crypte, sir Robert a retiré des ossements d''un ancien cercueil pour les cacher maladroitement sous une planche. Enfin, le matin même, un morceau de fémur humain a été retrouvé dans les cendres de la chaudière centrale du manoir.

Le Soldat blanchi ou Le Soldat blafard2 (The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier en version originale), est l''une des cinquante-six nouvelles d''Arthur Conan Doyle mettant en scène le détective Sherlock Holmes. Elle est parue pour la première fois le 16 octobre 1926 dans l''hebdomadaire américain Liberty, avant d''être regroupée avec d''autres nouvelles dans le recueil Les Archives de Sherlock Holmes (The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes). Cette nouvelle a la particularité d''être narrée par Sherlock Holmes lui-même, et non par le docteur Watson. La Crinière du lion (1926) est la seule autre aventure de Sherlock Holmes narrée par le détective lui-même. Résumé Mystère initial En janvier 1903, James M. Dodd vient au 221B Baker Street pour s''entretenir avec Sherlock Holmes d''une étrange affaire. Dodd a servi dans la cavalerie impériale en Afrique du Sud lors de la Guerre des Boers terminée peu de temps auparavant. Là-bas, il s''est lié d''amitié avec Godfrey Emsworth, un camarade lui-même fils du colonel Emsworth, redouté pour son caractère tyrannique. En 1902, James Dodd a appris via deux missives d''hôpitaux que son camarade Godfrey Emsworth avait été gravement blessé aux environs de Pretoria. Après la guerre, Dodd souhaite revoir son camarade blessé mais ses lettres restent sans réponse. Dodd entre alors en contact avec la famille Ensworth pour avoir des nouvelles de Godfrey. Le colonel Ensworth lui répond avec irritation que son fils est parti faire le tour du monde et est absent pour une longue période. Dodd, soupçonnant un mensonge, décide d''enquêter dans la propriété de la famille Ensworth, et parvient à être invité à Tuxbury Old Hall pour y passer une nuit. Dans la soirée, il apprend par le majordome que Godfrey est toujours vivant mais connait un sort dramatique. L''émotion de Dodd s''accroît lorsqu''il aperçoit au-dehors par la fenêtre son ancien camarade dont le teint est étrangement pâle. Godfrey fuit alors dans le jardin, Dodd tente de le rattraper sans réussite, mais parvient devant un bâtiment annexe de la propriété des Ensworth : il découvre le lendemain que Godfrey est enfermé dans ce bâtiment sous la surveillance d''un autre homme nommé M. Kent. Surpris par le colonel dans ses investigations, Dodd est sommé de prendre le premier train pour Londres. Son souhait d''éclairer l''affaire le pousse à entrer en contact avec Sherlock Holmes.

We owe The Hound of the Baskervilles (1902) to Arthur Conan Doyles good friend Fletcher Bobbles Robinson, who took him to visit some scary English moors and prehistoric ruins, and told him marvelous local legends about escaped prisoners and a 17th-century aristocrat who fell afoul of the family dog. Doyle transmogrified the legend: generations ago, a hound of hell tore out the throat of devilish Hugo Baskerville on the moonlit moor. Poor, accursed Baskerville Hall now has another mysterious death: that of Sir Charles Baskerville. Could the culprit somehow be mixed up with secretive servant Barrymore, history-obsessed Dr. Frankland, butterfly-chasing Stapleton, or Selden, the Notting Hill murderer at large? Someones been signaling with candles from the mansions windows. Nor can supernatural forces be ruled out. Can Dr. Watson left alone by Sherlock Holmes to sleuth in fear for much of the novel save the next Baskerville, Sir Henry, from the hound''s fangs?

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is the series of short stories that made the fortunes of the Strand magazine, in which they were first published, and won immense popularity for Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. The detective is at the height of his powers and the volume is full of famous cases, including ''The Red-Headed League'', ''The Blue Carbuncle'', and ''The Speckled Band''. Although Holmes gained a reputation for infallibility, Conan Doyle showed his own realism and feminism by having the great detective defeated by Irene Adler - the woman - in the very first story, ''A Scandal in Bohemia''.The editor of this volume, Richard Lancelyn Green is editor of The Uncollected Sherlock Holmes and The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. With John Michael Gibson, he compiled the Soho Series Bibliography of A. Conan Doyle.

A Study in Scarlet is an 1887 detective novel by British author Arthur Conan Doyle. Written in 1886, the story marks the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, who would become two of the most famous characters in popular fiction. The book''s title derives from a speech given by Holmes, an amateur detective, to his friend and chronicler Watson on the nature of his work, in which he describes the story''s murder investigation as his "study in scarlet": "There''s the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it."The story, and its main characters, attracted little public interest when it first appeared. Only 11 complete copies of the magazine in which the story first appeared, Beeton''s Christmas Annual for 1887, are known to exist now and they have considerable value. Although Conan Doyle wrote 56 short stories featuring Holmes, A Study in Scarlet is one of only four full-length novels in the original canon. The novel was followed by The Sign of the Four, published in 1890. A Study in Scarlet was the first work of detective fiction to incorporate the magnifying glass as an investigative tool.

The Sign of Four was first released to magazines in 1890. It was later published in book format and is also known by the title The Sign of the Four. It is the second Sherlock Holmes novel, after A Study in Scarlet. The plot involves service in India, the Indian Rebellion of 1857, a stolen treasure, and a secret pact among four convicts ("the Four" of the title) and two corrupt prison guards... and of course, Sherlock Holmes.

The most recognized detective in all of literature, Sherlock Holmes emerged on the crime scene in A Study in Scarlet in 1887. His deductive reasoning, keen insight, skillful observations, and investigative tactics became the tools necessary to solve riveting and intriguing crimes that continue to delight generations of readers.

Through the Magic Door (1907) is an essay by Arthur Conan Doyle: his subject is the charisma and charm of books. Doyle invites readers to enjoy the greatest minds of all times through what they have left behind and argues that, when we read, the selfishness and hopelessness of the world can be left behind.

I dare say that I had already read my uncle''s letter a hundred times, and I am sure that I knew it by heart. None the less I took it out of my pocket, and, sitting on the side of the lugger, I went over it again with as much attention as if it were for the first time. It was written in a prim, angular hand, such as one might expect from a man who had begun life as a village attorney, and it was addressed to Louis de Laval, to the care of William Hargreaves, of the Green Man in Ashford, Kent. The landlord had many a hogshead of untaxed French brandy from the Normandy coast, and the letter had found its way by the same hands.

His Last Bow by Arthur Conan Doyle

It was in the spring of the year 1894 that all London was interested, and the fashionable world dismayed, by the murder of the Honourable Ronald Adair under most unusual and inexplicable circumstances. The public has already learned those particulars of the crime which came out in the police investigation, but a good deal was suppressed upon that occasion, since the case for the prosecution was so overwhelmingly strong that it was not necessary to bring forward all the facts. Only now, at the end of nearly ten years, am I allowed to supply those missing links which make up the whole of that remarkable chain. The crime was of interest in itself, but that interest was as nothing to me compared to the inconceivable sequel, which afforded me the greatest shock and surprise of any event in my adventurous life. Even now, after this long interval, I find myself thrilling as I think of it, and feeling once more that sudden flood of joy, amazement, and incredulity which utterly submerged my mind. Let me say to that public, which has shown some interest in those glimpses which I have occasionally given them of the thoughts and actions of a very remarkable man, that they are not to blame me if I have not shared my knowledge with them, for I should have considered it my first duty to do so, had I not been barred by a positive prohibition from his own lips, which was only withdrawn upon the third of last month.It can be imagined that my close intimacy with Sherlock Holmes had interested me deeply in crime, and that after his disappearance I never failed to read with care the various problems which came before the public. And I even attempted, more than once, for my own private satisfaction, to employ his methods in their solution, though with indifferent success. There was none, however, which appealed to me like this tragedy of Ronald Adair. As I read the evidence at the inquest, which led up to a verdict of willful murder against some person or persons unknown, I realized more clearly than I had ever done the loss which the community had sustained by the death of Sherlock Holmes. There were points about this strange business which would, I was sure, have specially appealed to him, and the efforts of the police would have been supplemented, or more probably anticipated, by the trained observation and the alert mind of the first criminal agent in Europe. All day, as I drove upon my round, I turned over the case in my mind and found no explanation which appeared to me to be adequate. At the risk of telling a twice-told tale, I will recapitulate the facts as they were known to the public at the conclusion of the inquest.

The Crime of the Congo is a 1909 book by British writer and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, about human rights abuses in the Congo Free State, a private state established and controlled by the King of the Belgians, Leopold II.

The eponymous narrator is a Sussex country boy who is taken to London by his uncle Sir Charles Tregellis, a highly respected gentleman and arbiter of fashion who is on familiar terms with the most important people of Great Britain. The novel interweaves Rodney''s coming-of-age story with that of his friend Boy Jim''s boxing endeavors, and a large portion of it deals with the famous bare-knuckle boxers of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, such as Jem Belcher, John Jackson, Daniel Mendoza, Dutch Sam, and others. The book includes vignettes of a number of historical personages, notably the Prince Regent, Lord Nelson, Sir John Lade, Lord Cochrane and Beau Brummell.It was adapted into a 1913 silent film, The House of Temperley, directed by Harold M. Shaw.

I have written "Impressions and Tales" upon the title-page of this volume, because I have included within the same cover two styles of work which present an essential difference.The second half of the collection consists of eight stories, which explain themselves.The first half is made up of a series of pictures of the past which maybe regarded as trial flights towards a larger ideal which I have long had in my mind. It has seemed to me that there is a region between actual story and actual history which has never been adequately exploited. I could imagine, for example, a work dealing with some great historical epoch, and finding its interest not in the happenings to particular individuals, their adventures and their loves, but in the fascination of the actual facts of history themselves. These facts might be coloured with the glamour which the writer of fiction can give, and fictitious characters and conversations might illustrate them; but none the less the actual drama of history and not the drama of invention should claim the attention of the reader. I have been tempted sometimes to try the effect upon a larger scale; but meanwhile these short sketches, portraying various crises in the story of the human race, are to be judged as experiments in that direction.
