To a great mind, nothing is little. The First Three Sherlock Holmes Novels in One BookA Study in Scarlet: After returning from the Second Anglo-Afghan War, Dr. John. H. Watson begins to seek out someone to share a living space with. It is then and there that he is introduced to a one Mr. Sherlock Holmes, and thus begins the famous relationship between the master detective and the good doctor. Upon hearing of a murder committed in an abandoned house, Dr. Watson convinces the reluctant Sherlock to investigate. With his trusty magnifying glass and a tape measure, Sherlock and his partner Dr. Watson embark together on the first of their many investigations. The Sign of Four: The greatest detective duo is back and they have taken a case from Mary Morstan, whose father has gone missing ten years earlier after he had returned from India. The case isn't as simple as a missing person, however. Starting six years ago, Mary had begun to receive a single pearl every year, and with the last pearl, a request for a meeting was attached to the gift. Coincidentally, it seems Mary's father had a friend from his regiment named Major Sholto who had died at near the same time Mary began receiving her annual pearl. Together, Holmes, Watson, and Mary set off to meet the anonymous sender of the pearls, and thus begins the second mystery in the Sherlock literary canon. The Hound of the Baskervilles: In the moors of Devon, Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead of an apparent heart attack. But with a horror-stricken look frozen on his face and fresh footprints of none other than a legendary giant dog found nearby, Dr. James Mortimer believes misconduct played a role in his friend's untimely death and Mortimer solicits the help of Sherlock Holmes to get to the bottom of this curious case.

"我开车到了埃舍 南侧约2英里处。那所房子是一间大小适中的房子，站在马路后面，弯弯曲曲的道路上铺着高高的常绿灌木。当陷井在污迹斑斑，风雨如磐的门前的草丛中驶过时，陷阱使我望而却步。然而，他本人却以热情洋溢的问候向我打招呼，我被交给了一个仆人，一个忧郁而生机勃勃的人，他把我的手提包带到了我的卧室，整个房间令人沮丧。 。我们的晚餐是四合一的，尽管我的主人尽力做到了娱乐，但他的思绪似乎一直在徘徊，他的说话含糊而含糊，以至于我几乎听不懂他的声音。 ，着指甲，还有其他一些不耐烦的迹象。既没有很好的服务，也没有很好的煮熟，沉默寡言的仆人的阴郁无助于使我们活泼。我可以向您保证，在傍晚的过程中，我希望我能发明一些借口，让我回到李先生那里。

在不时记录一些好奇的经历和有趣的回忆，以及与福尔摩斯先生的长期和亲密的友谊，我一直面临着他对宣传的厌恶所带来的困难。 对于他的阴郁和愤世嫉俗的精神，所有的掌声总是令人憎恶，在成功案子结束时，没有什么比让他真正向某位东正教官员交代，对嘲笑的大合唱嘲笑地听他更有趣了。 恭喜 确实，正是我朋友的这种态度，当然也不缺乏任何有趣的材料，这使我近年来在公众面前很少公开自己的唱片。 我参加他的某些冒险活动始终是一种特权，需要我谨慎和保持沉默。在不时记录一些好奇的经历和有趣的回忆，以及与福尔摩斯先生的长期和亲密的友谊，我一直面临着他对宣传的厌恶所带来的困难。 对于他的阴郁和愤世嫉俗的精神，所有的掌声总是令人憎恶，在成功案子结束时，没有什么比让他真正向某位东正教官员交代，对嘲笑的大合唱嘲笑地听他更有趣了。 恭喜 确实，正是我朋友的这种态度，当然也不缺乏任何有趣的材料，这使我近年来在公众面前很少公开自己的唱片。 我参加他的某些冒险活动始终是一种特权，需要我谨慎和保持沉默。

夏洛克-福尔摩斯 的房东哈德森夫人是一位长期受苦的妇女。她的一楼公寓不仅整整一个小时都被一群奇异且常常令人讨厌的人物所侵袭，而且她杰出的寄宿者表现出一生的怪癖和不规律性，这一定使她非常耐心。他令人难以置信的烦躁，在陌生的时间沉迷于音乐，偶尔在门口练习左轮手枪，怪异的，常常是恶臭的科学实验，以及周围笼罩的暴力和危险气氛，使他成为伦敦最差的租户。另一方面，他的付款是王子。我毫不怀疑，在我和他在一起的那几年里，这所房子的购买价格可能是福尔摩斯为他的房间支付的。女房东站在他的最深的敬畏中，从不敢干涉他，尽管他的程序看起来多么残酷。她也喜欢他，因为他在与女人打交道时表现出非凡的温柔和礼貌。他不喜欢也不信任这种性别，但他始终是一个勇敢的对手。知道她对他的关心是多么的真诚，当她第二次婚后来到我的房间时，我认真地听了她的故事，并告诉我我可怜的朋友被减轻的痛苦状况。

1895年，11月的第三周，浓浓的黄雾降落在伦敦。 从星期一到星期四，我怀疑在贝克街的窗户上是否有可能看到对面房屋的织机。 福尔摩斯度过了第一天，对他的大量参考书进行交叉索引。 第二和第三部分耐心地专注于他最近成为业余爱好的一个主题-中世纪的音乐。 但是，当第四次从早餐推开椅子后，我们看到油腻而沉重的棕色漩涡仍在我们身旁飘过，凝结着油滴凝结在窗玻璃上时，我的同志不耐烦和活跃的天性可以忍受这种单调的存在 更长。 他因能量低落而发狂，在我们的客厅里不停地走动，咬指甲，敲家具，为无所事事而发火。 1895年，11月的第三周，浓浓的黄雾降落在伦敦。 从星期一到星期四，我怀疑在贝克街的窗户上是否有可能看到对面房屋的织机。 福尔摩斯度过了第一天，对他的大量参考书进行交叉索引。 第二和第三部分耐心地专注于他最近成为业余爱好的一个主题-中世纪的音乐。 但是，当第四次从早餐推开椅子后，我们看到油腻而沉重的棕色漩涡仍在我们身旁飘过，凝结着油滴凝结在窗玻璃上时，我的同志不耐烦和活跃的天性可以忍受这种单调的存在 更长。 他因能量低落而发狂，在我们的客厅里不停地走动，咬指甲，敲家具，为无所事事而发火。

"啊！这是我们的问题。有一个相当明显的调查领域。"他记下了这本伟大的书，每天都在其中撰写伦敦各种期刊的痛苦专栏。 "亲爱的我！"他说，翻过书页，说："吟，哭泣和嘶嘶声是什么！真是一团奇事！但是，这无疑是有史以来给最不寻常学生的最宝贵的狩猎场！这个人是一个人，不能违反要求的绝对保密性，不能通过信件来接洽，如何从他那里获得任何新闻或消息，显然是通过报纸刊登广告，似乎没有其他办法，幸运的是我们需要关注我们只有上一张纸，这是最后两周的《每日公报》摘录，"我们可能会在王子溜冰俱乐部戴黑蟒蛇的女士"可能会通过。"吉米肯定不会伤他母亲的心" "如果那位在布里克斯顿公车上晕倒的女士"-她对我不感兴趣，"每天我的心都渴望着-"沃特森-布莱特 毫不动摇地哭泣！嗯，这还有一点可能。这："请耐心等待。会找到一些确定的沟通方式。与此同时，本专栏。 G。'沃伦夫人的房客抵达后两天。听起来合理，不是吗？那个神秘的人即使不会说英语也能听懂英语。让我们看看是否可以再次获取踪迹。是的，我们在这里-三天后。 '正在做出成功的安排。耐心和谨慎。云将过去。 G。'此后一个星期都没事了。接下来是更加明确的事情："道路正在清理。如果我发现机会信号消息，请记住已同意的代码-一个A，两个B，依此类推。您很快就会听到。 G。'那是在昨天的报纸上，而今天没有。这对沃伦夫人的房客来说非常合适。如果我们稍等一下，沃森，我毫不怀疑这件事会变得更加清晰。"

对于福尔摩斯来说，她永远是女人。我很少听到他用任何其他名字提及她。在他的眼中，她使整个性生活黯然失色。并不是说他有任何类似于爱琳-艾德勒的情感。所有的情感，尤其是其中的一种情感，都令他冷漠，精确但令人钦佩的平衡思想厌恶。我认为，他是世界上最完美的推理和观察机器，但作为情人，他会把自己摆在错误的位置。他从没说过那种柔和的激情，没有嘲笑和冷笑。对于观察者而言，它们是令人钦佩的事物，非常适合从男人的动机和行为中汲取面纱。但是对于训练有素的推理者而言，要承认这种对自己微妙而微调的气质的干预，是要引入一种分散注意力的因素，这可能会困扰他的所有心理结果。在诸如他这样的自然中，敏感的工具上的沙砾或他自己的高倍镜中的裂缝不会比强烈的情感更令人不安。然而，他只有一个女人，那个女人是已故的艾琳-阿德勒，她的记忆令人怀疑和可疑。

“The immense talent, passion and literary brilliance that Conan Doyle brought to his work gives him a unique place in English letters.”-Stephen Fry ”Doyle’s modesty of language conceals a profound tolerance of the human complexity”-John Le Carré ”Holmes has a timeless talent, passion and literary brilliance that puts him heads, shoulders and deerstalker above all other detectives.”- Alexander McCall Smith Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes is the quintessential collection of some of the most thrilling exploits of Detective Holmes and Dr. Watson. These eleven stories of literature’s greatest and most popular detective demonstrate Sherlock Holmes’s astounding power of deduction on full display. The stories in this treasured volume were initially published in serial form in The Strand magazine from December 1892 until December 1893, then in book form in late 1893. Set in the foggy moors of England and in the dark alleyways of Victorian London, this classic collection includes some of the best detective yarns ever written. Among the most popular tales within The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes are “Silver Blaze”, infamous for the “curious incident of the dog in the night-time”, and it’s setting in the late-Victorian sporting world; the controversial tale “The Adventure of the Cardboard Box”, originally deemed too inappropriate for publication in the original edition. Of all of the stories in the collection “The Final Problem” is the most notorious; Doyle had made the decision to stop writing about the character of Sherlock Holmes and within this legendary short story, killed off the character of Sherlock Holmes. This resulting outcry of the public was unlike anything else in literary history. Other stories include; “The Adventure of the Yellow Face”, “The Adventure of the Stockbroker’s Clerk”, “The Adventure of the Gloria Scott”, The Adventure of the Mugrave Ritual”, “The Adventure of the Reigate Squire”, “The Adventure of the Crooked Man”, “The Adventure of the Resident Patient”, “The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter”, and “The Adventure of the Navel Treaty”. As this brilliant collection demonstrates, Sherlock Holmes is one of the most engaging literary companions any reader could hope for. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes is both modern and readable.

The Crock of Gold (1912), one of three original novels by James Stephens, is a work only a master of fiction and folklore could imagine. Taking up the major philosophical and psychological concerns of the early-twentieth century—over a decade before works by T. S. Eliot, James Joyce, and Virginia Woolf, among others, would cement literary Modernism’s place in history—Stephens’ novel is a groundbreaking and important work. The text centers on the Philosopher and his wife, the Thin Woman, who undergo a series of journeys and harrowing trials. Faced with danger both human and divine, the two characters are forced to weather the winds of change in order to change themselves. Divided into six books, The Crock of Gold—no doubt inspired by the Irish oral tradition of storytelling—follows the Philosopher’s quest to save the most beautiful woman in the world; his encounter with the gods who have captured her; his return home and arrest for murder (he has been framed by leprechauns incensed at the loss of their crock of gold); and finally, the Thin Woman’s quest to find the fabled Three Infinites. James Stephens’ The Crock of Gold is perhaps unparalleled in its ability to weave together ancient narrative techniques, mythological sources, and such dominant themes of its day as gender equality and humanity’s quest for self-understanding beyond the traditional boundaries of faith and religion. It is also a darkly comic novel, full of ironic political commentary and suspiciously human conversations situated within the animal world. Most popular of Stephens’ works, The Crock of Gold conceals in its humorous, irreverent outlook a deeply serious, ultimately reverent love for the human soul—unsurprising for an author whose life was marked with difficulty from the very beginning. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this new edition of James Stephens’ The Crock of Gold is a classic of Irish literature reimagined for modern readers.
