Derleth's Tribute to Sherlock Holmes
4. März 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Egad! Is Solar Pons just Sherlock Holmes in disguise? Well, that is chronologically impossible, but he may be the famous master detective's long lost son. Pons is, of course, August Derleth's affectionate tribute to Conan Doyle's literary creation, a keen and quirky mind solving scores of mysteries and murders in early Twentieth Century Britain accompanied by his faithful assistant and Boswell Dr. Parker. The parallels to Holmes and Watson are obvious, the subtle differences intriguing. Published in various collections over the decades, these tales were finally, some years after Derleth's much regretted death, presented in this massive two-volume omnibus edition by Arkham House, edited by Basil Copper, the British writer often published by that firm, himself the author of many Pons stories.
This omnibus contains Derleth's works, and a grand assortment they are. Many of the stories rival those of Sir Arthur. I would grant that none quite reach the heights of "The Red Headed League", "Silver Blaze", or "The Speckled Band", but that would be impossible, wouldn't it? Most are very good, almost all worth reading and re-reading. Included in this massive set is Derleth's only Pons novel, Mr. Fairley's Final Journey, which is absolutely excellent. Indeed, I would argue that, of the original Sherlock canon of novels, only The Hound of the Baskervilles tops it. That, I realize, is powerful praise. This brilliant tale merits it.
It won't be easy to find a copy, but will be worth it. Holmes fans who feel they have reached the end of hope will find restorative medicine here.
