a couple of months ago I spent Sunday morning stroll through the market. Unlike other cities, Vigo is not uncommon to find posts second-hand books. But this time there was one. The place was full of really cheap books with classic releases. I admit I am partial to this type of editing. After some thought I was with the "Faust" by Goethe and "Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' of Conan Doyle.
time thinking wore read Faust, and Sherlock was a pending matter.
I was wrong with Mr. Holmes. There has been a good idea not to tell me about the order of the canon holmesiano . The amount of spoilers that I've eaten is indescribable. Once advised to do not turn the leg as he has servant, we turn to the review itself.
Adventures of Sherlock Holmes "collects a series of stories about a famous London-based researcher and his trusty roommate, Watson, a medical doctor. Watson recounts the adventures with his friend, revealing to us the most interesting cases considered. The stories are set in the late nineteenth-century England, with many references to locations and personalities of the time.
The Adventure of the Six Napoleons: Sherlock Holmes services are requested before a strange thief who is engaged in theft busts of Napoleon I. The case is complicated when a man dies.
After reading the whole book has been among the less I liked. It is predictable, the conclusion seems taken from the manga ... no, I did not like too much.
The Adventure of the school of priori Dr. Thorneycroft Huxtable, director of the famous English boarding school of the Priori, seeks help from Sherlock to find a student, Lord Saltire Holdernesse. The boy, aged ten old, the eldest son of one of the most important nobles of England. Gone with one of the teachers at the school.
's quick and quite surprising.
The Adventure of the Golden Lenses: a young secretary was found dead with a knife in the neck in the county of Kent. At his side were gold lenses. The boy was in the service of Professor Coram, a man almost crippled.
This story is incredible. Not only for the case itself, if not all the data provided on society of the time. Interesting.
The Adventure of Abbey Grange: the promising young detective goes Standley Hopkins Sherlock Holmes being unsure if it poses a seemingly simple. A notorious gang of thugs, the Randalls, attacked the house of Sir Eustace Brackenstall killing it and leaving his wife, Lady Brackenstall, wounded and tied to a chair.
This is one of those texts that makes you position yourself on one side or the other. Includes an interesting reflection on what is justice.
The Adventure of the dancing dolls : Mr. Cubitt asks Sherlock helps to unravel a mystery that relates to his wife Elsie. They married a year and, although Mr. Cubitt not know anything about the past of his wife, she is confident. However, since a few weeks ago, a message consisting of dolls in different positions displayed in your home, seriously disrupting the nerves of his wife.
This story has several interesting points. Start with one of the brilliant deductions of Holmes. Since this directly affects the privacy of this bothers Watson. It's a great passage. As for instance, has a dramatic flair at the same tender. Has been one of my favorites, despite being also one of the most predictable.
The Adventure of the Empty House : Since this story is the mother of all spoilers have or might have, if you have not read any of Sherlock Holmes, jump to the next. If no:
This is the return of Sherlock Holmes, in which the shock nearly killed the poor Watson, who took three years for dead. Moriarty's partners seek to avenge the death of this, so Holmes designed a simple plan to make it available to justice so they can be safe in London.
of the slowest in the book. But it's great. I loved every line in spite of the spoilers. Once again the words of Holmes helps us to put in his time.
The adventure of the solitary cyclist : Violet Smith, an attractive young woman, comes to Baker Street asking for help and advice of Holmes. Inheritance and wealth
Africa. It would be my choice to close the book but not a bad story.
admit that after reading the first two stories had my doubts. I felt a little disappointed. Not in terms of form, which is great, but in terms of content. Luckily the following stories made me leave behind any doubt.
In general, what I disliked, and by far, is the predictable result. It is true that there is always a point of surprise in them, but the central line is almost always easier to see. Not all the stories going on but in the majority. As I said before, I like to be surprised.
of the best: it manages the descriptions. Are fair to situate and visualize each scene and character. A few lines devoted to it.
also highlight how you handle the pace. It's easy to hook up the story. These texts and busy events work well hilados.Buen Conan Doyle.
- Where are the hat and pipe?
- Menudo desire role.
- If you have so much money, why share a flat?
- before "making love" amounted to make the cut. Unbelievable.
- Why not leave a brother more? I hope it does the other books.
Note: A 9. It was not the best way to get the books but it was worth.
