Chargement... Tales for a Winter's Night (1908)par Arthur Conan Doyle
   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) seasonsoflove | Jan 23, 2017 |  These are the early detective stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle before he introduced Sherlock Holmes. Despite the lack of Holmes, you will not be disappointed. These stories bear the markings of what will later become perhaps the best known detective fiction. Careful readers will also note a prototype, or since this is literature, should I say archtype, of Holmes making a brief anonymous appearance. The style is very dated and stilted by today's standards, yet the text reads very fluently and the reader is still captivated.

This work brings together eight Arthur Conan Doyle mystery classics. When first gathered into one volume in 1908, the book was entitled Round the Fire Stories, since the author recommended that they be read ideally ""'round the fire upon a winter's night."" According to Barzun & Taylor in A Catalogue of Crime, ""As one reads 'The Man with the Watches,' 'The Lost Special,' 'The Jew's Breastplate,' 'The Black Doctor' and the rest, one marvels again at Doyle's natural gift of storytelling and one relishes his ingrained habit of giving clues, even when they serve narrative Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
