The Sign of Four. The Return of Sherlock Holmes
19.99 €
The English doctor and writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is known throughout the world as an unrivaled master of the detective genre, the author of many works about the brilliant detective Sherlock Holmes and his faithful friend Dr. Watson. Classic translations of these stories and novels, made long ago and by many different translators, suffer from well-known shortcomings: discrepancies, omissions, outright errors.
We offer you the third volume (the novel "The Sign of Four", the collection "The Return of Sherlock Holmes") from the four-volume set with a complete translation of the entire Holmes canon. This is a truly unique edition: all the works of the cycle have been translated anew by Lyudmila 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. Each volume is supplied with a large number of classic illustrations and additional materials: prefaces to early publications, Conan Doyle's memoirs concerning certain works, some of the writer's interviews. Plus, this volume is accompanied by extensive commentary.
This book includes a complete set of illustrations by Sidney Paget that accompanied the original publication of The Return of Sherlock Holmes in the Strand magazine, as well as illustrations by Richard Gutschmidt for the early German edition of The Sign of the Four.
