Reseña del libro "A Sherlock Holmes Double-Header: "a Study in Scarlet" and "the Sign of Four""

A STUDY IN SCARLET was Sherlock Holmes' first adventure, and the first sale for the author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. We immediately see that Dr. Watson, Holmes confidante and "side-kick" has a background very similar to the author's. The good doctor enumerates Holmes; faults (starting with his habitual use of cocaine), as well as his more numerous good points (especially the detective's knowledge of chemistry and his violin playing). The story is a tale that shows Holmes' genius, but is also notable for Conan Doyle's apparent treatise on the Mormon religion. The events occur on two continents, and only Holmes (of course) can solve the riddle! THE SIGN OF FOUR was Sherlock Holmes' second adventure. Dr. Watson again assists Holmes, as they try to recover a beautiful blonde's missing treasure - and solve a murder or two along the way. Holmes' genius is showcased, but we see here the human side - of Dr. Watson, at least. The good doctor is falling for the damsel they are trying to help, despite his common sense telling him how bad an idea that is! All in all, Watson is the real Hero of this tale - even if Holmes does do all the leg and brain work! One of the best of the Sherlock Holmes tales. You'll be kept wanting to know the why's and wherefore's until the very end!

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Edimburgo, 1859 - Crowborough, Reino Unido, 1930) considerado el maestro de la literatura policiaca fue un escritor y médico nacido en Escocia, principalmente conocido por haber creado al famosísimo personaje Sherlock Holmes, el detective más conocido de todos los tiempos, versionado para TV y cine de forma cíclica.

Cursó sus estudios en las universidades de Stonyhurst y Edimburgo, donde se graduó en medicina. Entre 1882 y 1890 trabajó como médico en Southsea, Inglaterra.

Para complementar sus escasos ingresos, escribió una novela de misterio titulada Estudio en escarlata, que se convirtió en la primera de las sesenta y ocho historias protagonizadas por uno de los detectives más célebres de la literatura: Sherlock Holmes.
