The English physician and writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is known throughout the world as an unsurpassed master of the detective genre, the author of many works about the brilliant detective Sherlock Holmes and his faithful friend Dr. Watson. Classical translations of these stories and novels, made long ago and by many different translators, suffer from certain shortcomings: discrepancies, omissions, outright mistakes. Your attention is invited to the final volume (the novel "The Hound of the Baskervilles", the collections "His Farewell Bow" and "The Sherlock Holmes Archive") from a long-prepared four-volume book with a complete translation of the entire Holmes canon. This is truly a unique edition: all the works of the cycle have been re-translated by Lyudmila Brilova and Sergey Sukharev, masters whose translations by Kazuo Ishiguro and Ray Bradbury, Francis Scott Fitzgerald and Charles Palliser, Thomas De Quincey, Herman Melville and others have long become classics. At the same time, each volume includes a lot of additional materials: prefaces to early publications, Conan Doyle's memoirs concerning certain works, some interviews of the writer. Plus, each volume is provided with the most extensive commentary and is richly illustrated with the best classical drawings. This book includes a complete set of illustrations accompanying the original Strand publication of The Hound of the Baskervilles and all the stories in both collections, illustrated by Sidney Paget, Walter Paget, Gilbert Holiday, and others.
