All the Conan Doyle stories together - fantastic: Sherlock Holmes?
What can one say about these stories that has not already been
said? They provide a glimpse into London at the turn of the 19th
century.
The ingenuity of the plots, the clever criminals, Holmes
reasoning, Dr. Watsons amazement: these are all fascinating to read
and experience. Holmes is part of English literature and worthwhile
reading for anyone. What is even more fascinating is that for some
plots, no crime was involved.
Yes, some stories involved interesting schemes without a murder
or a theft. In one, Holmes even let a murderer go because he
thought the crime was justified. Dr. Watson, never pictured in film
as being a husband, marries one of the female characters in one of
the stories.
Youve seen the more criminally sensational tales in film; but
there is much more and their reading is even better. Even more
interesting is that you will recognize many of Doyles plots in
contemporary cinema.
