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 first volume (the novel "A Study in Scarlet", the collection "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes") from a 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 also includes a wealth of additional material: prefaces to early publications, Conan Doyle's memoirs on certain works, and some of the writer's interviews. Plus, each volume is richly illustrated with the best classic drawings.
This book includes a complete set of illustrations by Sidney Paget that accompanied the original publication of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in The Strand magazine, as well as illustrations by Josef Friedrich for one of the first Czech editions of A Study in Scarlet.
