The Sign of Four. The Return of Sherlock Holmes
19.99 €
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 well-known shortcomings: discrepancies, omissions, outright errors. The third volume (the novel "The Sign of Four", the collection "The Return of Sherlock Holmes") of the four-volume book with a full translation of the entire Holmesian canon is offered to your attention. This is a truly unique edition: all works of the series are translated anew by Ludmila Brilova and Sergey Sukharev - masters whose translations of 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 wealth of additional material: prefaces to early publications, Conan Doyle's reminiscences relating to particular works, and some interviews with the writer. Plus each volume has extensive commentary and is richly illustrated with the best classic drawings. This book includes the complete set of Sidney Paget's illustrations that accompanied the original publication of The Return of Sherlock Holmes in The Strand Magazine, as well as Richard Gutschmidt's illustrations for the early German edition of The Sign of Four.
