Àííîòàöèÿ: After Sherlock Holmes` apparently fatal encounter with the sinister Professor Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls, the great detective reappears, to the delight of the faithful Dr Watson in "The Adventure of the Empty House". This follows the celebrated full-length "The Hound of the Baskervilles". The stories are illustrated by Sidney Paget, the finest of illustrators, from whom our images of Sherlock Holmes and his world derive. This is the second of three volumes of "The Complete Sherlock Holmes" reproduced from original copies of "The Strand Magazine". The three books present all the Holmes stories arranged chronologically in order of first publication.

Àííîòàöèÿ: As enjoyable as it is edifying.Even longtime readers in the field may make some happy discovers.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The wonderful anthology of verse and prose, short stories, reminiscences and diary entries, ranging from the traditional to the subversive, the whimsical to the sinister, the ironic to the tragic. Exquisitely illustrated with black and white drawings from many periods, The Christmas Reader is a perfect source-book for reading aloud to family and friends.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Throughout these classic crime stories, we see Holmes at his incisive and eccentric best. All groups within Victorian society feature, from European aristocrats to travelling Gypsies, mad doctors to innocent ladies. These are truly classic stories and a perfect introduction to the fascinating world of Sherlock Holmes

Àííîòàöèÿ: This volume, authorized by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's estate, contains all 4 full-length novels and all 56 short stories featuring Sherlock Holmes. At over a thousand pages, the weighty tome is a perfect gift for budding amateur sleuths, and it is an ideal companion for a long stay on a desert island (or a leisurely trip through the English countryside). As the reader wades past the tense introductions of A Study in Scarlet and moves towards such classic tales as The Hound of the Baskervilles, "The Adventure of the Speckled Band," and "The Final Problem," she is sure to draw her own conclusions about Holmes's veiled past and his quirky relationship with his "Boswell," Watson. Doyle never revealed much about Holmes's early life, but the joy of reading the complete Holmes is assembling the trivia of each story into something like a portrait of the detective and his creator. By the end of the long journey through London and across Europe (with a long stopover at Reichenbach Falls), one is apt to have found a friend for life.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Sherlock Holmes is sitting in a cocaine-induced haze until the arrival of a distressed and beautiful young lady forces the great detective into action. Each year following the strange disappearance of her father, Miss Morstan has received a present of a rare and lustrous pearl. Now, on the day she is summoned to meet her anonymous benefactor, she consults Holmes and Watson

Àííîòàöèÿ: After Sherlock Holmes' apparently fatal encounter with the sinister Professor Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls, the great detective reappears, to the delight of the faithful Dr Watson in "The Adventure of the Empty House". This follows the celebrated full-length "The Hound of the Baskervilles". The stories are illustrated by Sidney Paget, the finest of illustrators, from whom our images of Sherlock Holmes and his world derive.

Àííîòàöèÿ: He's rude, arrogant, cold, unfriendly, and easily bored. Nobody minds. Because he is a genius at solving mysteries. But, to interest Holmes at all, the case must be impossible. Like the mysteries of: the blackmail scheme that might destroy a nation. The woman killed in a locked room--while screaming about a "band". The man who writes his wife--days after his murder. The jewel in the goose, the engineer's severed thumb, the seeds that grow death... Whether lost fiancés or lost fortunes, sinister accidents or weird conspiracies, the unnatural or the "supernatural"--the paths of mystery and murder lead to 221B Baker Street, to loyal Dr. Watson...

Àííîòàöèÿ: "The Valley of Fear" is the fourth and final Sherlock Holmes novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is loosely based on the real-life exploits of the Molly Maguires and Pinkerton agent James McParland

Àííîòàöèÿ: The last twelve stories written about Holmes and Watson, these tales reflect the disillusioned world of the 1920s in which they were written. Some of the sharpest turns of wit in English literature are contrasted by dark images of psychological tragedy, suicide, and incest in a collection of tales that have haunted generations of readers

Àííîòàöèÿ: The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, originally published in 1894, by Arthur Conan Doyle. The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes are overshadowed by the event with which they close - the meeting of the great detective and Moriarty, the Napoleon of Crime. Their struggle, seemingly to the death, was to leave many readers desolate at the loss of Holmes, but was also to lead to his immortality as a literary figure

Àííîòàöèÿ: From the private papers of Jane Austen and Mozart to those of Anne Boleyn and Nelson, "Love Letters of Great Men and Women" collects together some of the most romantic letters in history. For some of these great men, love is a 'delicious poison' (William Congreve); for others, 'a nice soft wife on a sofa with good fire, & books & music' (Charles Darwin). Love can scorch like the heat of the sun (Henry-VIII), or penetrate the depths of one's heart like a cooling rain (Flaubert). But what about the other side of the story? What of the secret hopes and lives of some of the greatest women in history? Taken together, these love letters show that perhaps little has changed over the last 2,000 years. Passion, jealousy, hope and longing are all represented here — as is the simple pleasure of sending a letter to, and receiving one from, the person you love most. This title includes letters by: Anne Boleyn; Beethoven; Edith Wharton; Mark Twain; Mary Wordsworth; Nell Gwyn (mistress of Charles-II); Elizabeth Barrett Browning; GK Chesterton; Queen Victoria; Napoleon Bonaparte; The Empress Josephine; Mary Wollstonecraft; Amadeus Mozart; and, Katherine Mansfield. The praise for "Love Letters of Great Men" include: 'The most romantic book ever' — "Daily Mail". 'Inspired by the "Sex and the City" movie...Famous men caught with pen in hand and heart in mouth' — "The Times".
