Although best known as the author of the "Sherlock Holmes" canon, Sir Arthur's best work can be found in his brilliant short stories. The tales in this book represent some his very best writing and feature taught, gripping stories of the mysterious, the bizarre, and the profound. Despite the fact that even the most recent of these stories is nearly 70 years old, they are so cleverly plotted and paced that they retain their ability to thrill even today. Readers who worry that the language will be too old fashioned or will require slow and careful reading should not worry: these tales are easily read, but not so easily forgotten. Try, for example, "Lot 212." This is a story about a mysterious young college student, his ancient mummy, and a series of strange crimes and attacks. Our hero confronts the villian in one of the most gripping confrontations you'll ever read in short fiction. Read these tales late at night, aloud if possible, to a willing second. You won't be disappointed!

STRAND Magazine stories by Doyle
26. Dezember 2004
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I love anything by Doyle. This book is no different.You have
7 great tales here; my favorites being , "The Sealed Room"
and "The Man With The Watches". The very best mysteries were
written in the mid to late 1800's and early 1900's. They
were literally the most superlative mysteries of all time.
I just wish Doyle had lives long enough to write many more
mysteries.

Uninspired Tales
15. Juni 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
The eight stories collected here are ones Conan Doyle cranked out on a monthly basis during 1898-99 for The Strand magazine, so it should come as no surprise that they have the rather slight feel of pulp magazine tales. Almost all begin in a breathless manner, in which the narrator proposes to recount one of the most spectacular mysteries of "our time." This is a rather heavy-handed device, but I suppose Doyle knew he had a limited amount of time to hook the fickle magazine reader, lest they grow bored and move on to the next item. The stories generally depend too heavily on the withholding of crucial information (especially regarding the identities of characters and/or unknown relatives), or they are rather obvious. For example, one reads stories like "The Man with the Watches", "The Lost Special", and "The Black Doctor" rather impatiently, awaiting the grand revelation/confession that comes at the end to explain all. Others, such as "The Jew's Breastplate" or "The Brazilian Cat", or the one about a burglar who picked the wrong house to enter, aren't particularly suspenseful, as their destination is fairly evident from the early pages. One the whole, the stories feel very perfunctory, as if written without them being paid too much attention, and they thus remain fairly uninspiring. I suppose they're worth reading if you're a huge Conan Doyle fan, or it you really love that kind of Victorian setting, but otherwise, I'd give 'em a miss.
