Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Collection Kindle Edition

by Arthur Conan Doyle (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 5,694 ratings
Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, who first appeared in publication in 1887. He is the creation of Scottish born author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A brilliant London-based detective, Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess, and is renowned for his skillful use of deductive reasoning (somewhat mistakenly - see inductive reasoning) and astute observation to solve difficult cases. He is arguably the most famous fictional detective ever created, and is one of the best known and most universally recognizable literary characters in any genre. Conan Doyle wrote four novels and fifty-six short stories that featured Holmes. All but four stories were narrated by Holmes' friend and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson, two having been narrated by Holmes himself, and two others written in the third person. The first two stories, short novels, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual for 1887 and Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in 1890. The character grew tremendously in popularity with the beginning of the first series of short stories in The Strand Magazine in 1891; further series of short stories and two serialized novels appeared almost right up to Conan Doyle's death in 1930. The stories cover a period from around 1878 up to 1903, with a final case in 1914. in this collection you will find:

Novels:
• A Study in Scarlet
• The Sign of the Four
• The Hound of the Baskervilles
• The Valley of Fear

Short Story Collections:
• The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
• The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes
• The Return of Sherlock Holmes
• His Last Bow
• The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes

    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh in 1859 and died in 1930. Within those years was crowded a variety of activity and creative work that made him an international figure and inspired the French to give him the epithet 'the good giant'. He was the nephew of 'Dickie Doyle' the artist, and was educated at Stonyhurst, and later studied medicine at Edinburgh University, where the methods of diagnosis of one of the professors provided the idea for the methods of deduction used by Sherlock Holmes.

    He set up as a doctor at Southsea and it was while waiting for patients that he began to write. His growing success as an author enabled him to give up his practice and turn his attention to other subjects. He was a passionate advocate of many causes, ranging from divorce law reform and the Channel Tunnel to the issuing of inflatable life-jackets to sailors. He also campaigned to prove the innocence of individuals, and his work on the Edjalji case was instrumental in the introduction of the Court of Criminal Appeal. He was a volunteer physician in the Boer War and later in life became a convert to spiritualism.

    His greatest achievement was, of course, his creation of Sherlock Holmes, who soon attained international status and constantly distracted him from his other work; at one time Conan Doyle killed him but was obliged by public protest to restore him to life. And in his creation of Dr Watson, Holmes's companion in adventure and chronicler, Conan Doyle produced not only a perfect foil for Holmes but also one of the most famous narrators in fiction. Penguin publish all the books about the great detective, A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, The Uncollected Sherlock Holmes and The Penguin Complete Sherlock Holmes.

    Taking time out from work I thought I would read all of the Sherlock Holmes adventures and they are all thoroughly entertaining - from the more famous novels to the more brief encounters.

    The short stories especially are pacey (and sometimes a little stretching in their results) and provide an interesting insight into the social times in which they were written - with many of the criminal motivations being as relevant today.

    I was immersed from the very start and have finished with a sense of sad fulfillment - much as the great detective has on having completed one job and being in wait of his next.

    Delicious reading and fabulous escapism.

    Great fun and very enjoyable.

    This hardcover volume contains the complete works of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It contains "A Study in Scarlet", "The Sign of Four", "The adventures of Sherlock Holmes", "Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes", "The Return of Sherlock Holmes", the acclaimed classic, "The Hound of the Baskervilles", "The Valley of Fear", "His Last Bow", and "The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes". It really is the complete complete works. It tells of Watson's first meeting with Sherlock Holmes and all the small case they solve (or rather Holmes solves, Watson goes "ahhhh")
    The whole book is attractively bound and would make an excellent gift. The hard back cover and dust jacket make it look like it's worth alot more than Amazon charge!
    I would recommend this book to anyone, and I mean anyone. Most people who haven't read Sherlock Holmes turn their nose up at it. I was the same. Then I read it! After all, it's elementary, dear reader!!!!!! Sorry, couldn't resist!

    5.0 out of 5 stars a very reasonably priced volume
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 July 2016
    Verified Purchase
    This is a very large book - and the font size is very tiny - because there's a lot in it! It presents the "complete Sherlock Holmes" adventures, written by Arthur Conan Doyle. Given that you can purchase this book - in hardback - for under £1 (secondhand) I have to highly recommend it! I paid £7 for a new copy, and was pleased with the quality.

    It's not quite 'complete' (as a new short story has been discovered since this volume was published). And it's certainly not a 'deluxe' edition ... if you're after something more aesthetically attractive, I would recommend Sherlock Holmes 6-Book Boxed Set: Containing: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles & The ... & The Sign of the Four (Collector's Library).

    Notwithstanding the limitations of this volume, it's a good quality book - with all the classic Holmes adventures in it. If you're after a reasonably priced edition, this is a good product.

    The book is indexed at the beginning and it's easy to flick back and forth or chose a place anywhere you wish to start. I've read a few of the short stories and no typos or formatting issues.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Une plongée dans l'univers du détective légendaire
    Reviewed in France on 20 November 2024
    Verified Purchase
    L’édition complète de *Sherlock Holmes* est un incontournable pour tous les amateurs de littérature policière. Ayant toujours été fasciné par les enquêtes méthodiques de ce détective iconique, j’ai été enthousiasmé par l’idée de redécouvrir l’intégralité des aventures de Sherlock Holmes dans un seul et même recueil. Arthur Conan Doyle, avec sa plume inimitable, nous transporte dans un Londres victorien où chaque enquête est un puzzle complexe à résoudre.

    📌 Le contenu et la structure de l’œuvre
    Cette collection comprend tous les romans et nouvelles mettant en scène Sherlock Holmes, du célèbre *Étude en rouge* à *La Vallée de la peur*. L’ensemble forme une véritable chronologie des aventures du détective, offrant une vision complète de son évolution et des mystères qu’il résout. Les récits sont organisés de manière à permettre une lecture fluide, chaque histoire apportant son lot de nouveaux personnages, de mystères fascinants et de rebondissements inattendus. Le recueil présente aussi le fidèle Dr Watson, le narrateur idéal qui apporte la touche humaine et le point de vue extérieur nécessaire pour admirer l’intellect et la logique implacable de Sherlock Holmes.

    📌 Le style d’écriture et l’ambiance
    Le style de Conan Doyle est une combinaison parfaite de rigueur logique et de richesse narrative. Les dialogues sont vifs, les descriptions détaillées et l’atmosphère créée par l’auteur est captivante. Londres, avec ses ruelles brumeuses et ses quartiers mystérieux, devient presque un personnage à part entière dans ces histoires. L'intelligence froide et méthodique de Sherlock Holmes contraste habilement avec les personnages souvent plus colorés et imprévisibles qu'il croise. Les intrigues sont complexes, mais la narration claire de Conan Doyle permet de suivre facilement l’évolution des affaires, même quand elles prennent des tournants inattendus.

    📌 Les thèmes explorés
    Les histoires de Sherlock Holmes ne se contentent pas d’être de simples récits policiers. Elles explorent des thèmes profonds comme la logique contre l’émotion, la quête de vérité, et les dilemmes moraux. À travers ses enquêtes, Sherlock Holmes nous invite à réfléchir sur l’éthique de l’investigation, la manipulation de la vérité, et les limites de la justice. Les intrigues mettent également en lumière les contrastes sociaux de l’époque victorienne et les différents types de personnages que l’on rencontre dans le Londres de Conan Doyle. Le duo Holmes-Watson représente aussi un équilibre parfait entre la froide rationalité et l’humanité, ce qui donne une dimension supplémentaire à chaque enquête.

    📌 À qui s’adresse ce livre
    Ce recueil est une lecture essentielle pour tous les fans de littérature policière et de mystères. Les amateurs d'enquêtes rigoureuses, de raisonnements logiques et de déductions brillantes adoreront suivre les aventures de Sherlock Holmes. Ce livre plaira également à ceux qui aiment les récits où l’intellect prend le pas sur l’action brute. Si vous êtes un fan de romans à énigmes où chaque détail a son importance, vous trouverez dans ces pages des intrigues fascinantes qui vous tiendront en haleine.

    📌 Mon avis personnel
    J’ai pris un immense plaisir à relire ces classiques du genre. Sherlock Holmes est, à juste titre, un détective qui fascine depuis plus d’un siècle, et cette collection complète permet de découvrir l’évolution de son personnage et de ses méthodes. Les histoires sont à la fois captivantes et enrichissantes, car elles demandent au lecteur d’être attentif aux détails et de suivre chaque indice avec une attention particulière. C’est un véritable régal pour l’esprit, et chaque aventure laisse une sensation de satisfaction une fois le mystère résolu. Pour ceux qui ne l’ont pas encore lu ou qui veulent revivre ces moments magiques, *Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Collection* est un must absolu.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, comprehensive Sherlock Holmes collection.
    Reviewed in the United States on 25 February 2017

    Like many people, I was familiar with Sherlock to since childhood. I'd read a couple of stories in high school, seen a few Sherlock Holmes movies. This collection of Sherlock Holmes stories contains an exhaustive collection of original Sherlock Holmes stories written in Victorian English. I loved these stories, both novels and novella's. I appreciated the ability to highlight a word and get the definition because I was unfamiliar with.many of the old English words and terms. Even for a rabid reader, this collection offers many hours of reading. It kept my interest all through the collection because no one story is too long in and of itself. The writing is so convincing that I had to look up Sherlock Holmes after finishing reading the collection because I was convinced Watson and Holmes must have been real people! I thoroughly enjoyed being transported back in time to 1880's and 1890's London where Holmes done most of his work. Doyle's descriptions of the man and the places he lived and worked are amazingly vivid. Nearly every time I was sure I had a case figured out, I would be surprised at the outcome and would find myself saying "of course, that was so obvious!" I would recommend this collection for everyone from teens through retirees! I came to love the stories that contained the infamous Professor Moriarty, Holmes' chief nemesis. I also enjoyed meeting Holmes brother, Mylof, who, though blessed with the same uncanny ability for deductive reasoning as his more famous brother, instead used his skills in service to the English government instead of crime fighting. Whether you're familiar with Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson's adventures, or have never read a Sherlock Holmes book, I believe most people will find this collection to be addictive reading once you start. There are some typos, and unless you're a scholar in vintage English language, you will probably do as I did and consult the embedded dictionary often, but I was truly sorry when I read the last story. I read at least 2 or 3 stories a day for weeks and yet I crave more. For a free book, you can't go wrong here. Go ahead, give it a shot... I think you'll be happy you did!
