Book excerpt: El Dr. James Mortimer le pide a Sherlock Holmes que investigue la muerte de su amigo, Sir Charles Baskerville. Sir Charles fue encontrado muerto en los terrenos de su propiedad Devonshire, Baskerville Hall, y ahora Mortimer teme por el sobrino de Sir Charles y su único heredero, Sir Henry Baskerville, que es el nuevo amo de Baskerville Hall. La muerte se atribuyó a un ataque al corazón, pero Mortimer es sospechoso, porque Sir Charles murió con una expresión de horror en su rostro, y Mortimer notó "las huellas de un perro gigantesco" cerca. La familia Baskerville supuestamente ha estado bajo una maldición desde la época de la Guerra Civil inglesa, cuando el antepasado Hugo Baskerville supuestamente ofreció su alma al diablo para que le ayudara a secuestrar a una mujer y al parecer fue asesinado por un perro espectral gigante. Sir Charles creyó en la maldición y aparentemente huyó de algo de miedo cuando murió.

The novel is mainly set in Dartmoor, in Devon, a county in western England.Conan Doyle developed this novel shortly after returning from South Africa, where he worked as a clinical volunteer at a Bloemfontein Hospital.

The story tells Holmes and Watson chasing the ghost of a dog that stalks the city. Meet also the steppe wolf, it's a good book.Dr. James Mortimer asks Sherlock Holmes for a recommendation after the death of his friend, Sir Charles Baskerville. He was found dead on his Devonshire property. Mortimer is now afraid of Sir Charles's nephew and sole beneficiary, Sir Henry Baskerville is the new Baskerville Hall teacher. Know the Da Vinci code you will surely like. Death was attributed to a heart attack, but Mortimer suspects, because Sir Charles died with an expression of horror on his face.The Baskerville family has allegedly been under a curse since the Civil War era. Holmes meets Sir Henry, a newcomer from Canada. Sir Henry received an anonymous note, cut and pasted from newspaper, warning him to leave the moors of Baskerville, and one of his new boots inexplicably missing in his hotel room in London. Holmes and Dr. Watson follow him back to his hotel and watches a man following him in a taxi. Holmes examines Dr. Mortimer's cane.Barrymore and his wife, who also works at Baskerville Hall, want to leave the property soon. Watson hears a woman crying at night; it is obvious to him that it was Mrs. Barrymore, but her husband denies it. Watson cannot find any evidence that Barrymore was in Devon on the day of the persecution in London. He meets a brother and sister who live nearby. When his brother is out of earshot, Miss Stapleton confuses Watson with Sir Henry and warns him to leave.She and Sir Henry later meet and fall in love quickly, which awakens Stapleton's anger; He then apologizes and invites Sir Henry to dinner with him a few days later. Barrymore arouses another suspicion when Watson and Sir Henry catch him at night with a candle in an empty room. He refuses to answer his questions, but Mrs. Barrymore confesses that Selden is her brother, and her husband is indicating that they have left supplies. They hear a scream and discover Selden's body, killed by a fall.Initially he was mistaken for Sir Henry, whose old clothes were on. In Baskerville Hall, Holmes notices a resemblance between Stapleton and a portrait of Hugo Baskerville. Then he notes that Stapleton could be an unknown member of the Baskerville family, who sought to reclaim Baskerville's wealth by eliminating his relatives. Holmes and Watson travel to Stapleton's house, where Sir Henry is having dinner. He is rescued from a hound that Stapleton releases while Sir Henry returns home walking down the moor.Shooting the dead animal in the fight, Sherlock reveals that it was a perfectly deadly dog: a mixture of hound and mastiff, painted with phosphorus to give it a hellish appearance. Miss Stapleton is found bound and gagged inside the house, while Stapleton apparently dies in an attempt to reach his hiding place in a nearby mine. They also find Sir Henry's boot, which was used to give the dog the scent of Sir Henry.

Book excerpt: The Baskerville Hound, also translated as The Baskerville Dog or The Baskerville Mastiff, is the third novel by Arthur Conan Doyle which has as main protagonist Sherlock Holmes. It was published by installments in The Strand Magazine between 1901 and 1902. The novel is mainly set in Dartmoor, in Devon, a county of the west of England. Conan Doyle wrote this story shortly after returning from South Africa, where he had worked as a medical volunteer at The Langman Field Hospital in Bloemfontein. He was assisted in the plot by a 30-year-old journalist from the Daily Express named Bertram Fletcher Robinson (1870-1907). His ideas come from the legend of Richard Cabell, who was the inspiration of the legend of the Baskerville. His tomb can be seen in a village called Buckfastleigh.Richard Cabell lived during the 1600s and was the local squire at Buckfastleigh. He had a passion for hunting and was what in those days described himself as a "monstrously evil man." He gained this reputation for, among other things, his immorality and for having sold his soul to the devil. It was also rumored that he had murdered his wife. On July 5, 1677 he died and was buried in his tomb, but that was only the beginning of the story. On the night of his burial, a dog-shaped ghost appeared all around the moor and howled in his grave. Since that night, you can find the ghost, usually on the anniversary of his death. If he does not go hunting, it is possible to find him in his grave howling and screaming.Conan Doyle's description of Baskerville Hall was inspired by a visit to Cromer Hall in Norfolk. Some elements of the story were inspired by a stay at the Real Links Hotel in Cromer, where Conan Doyle heard for the first time the story of Black Shuck, the ghost dog from the Cromer area, who is said to walk between Overstrand in East and East Runton in the west.When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on a path in the wasteland of Devonshire, Dr. Mortimer comes to London to seek the help of Sherlock Holmes: he reads to Holmes the manuscript about the curse of the Baskerville, supposedly initiated with Hugo de Baskerville, killed by an infernal hound as punishment for his evil. After this, the doctor tells him about the bloodhound tracks found a short distance from the corpse. It also lets him know that he wishes to know his opinion, since the only heir of the Baskerville, Sir Henry, coming from the United States, was about to arrive in England to accept the inheritance (in addition to money, the mansion of the Baskervilles) and Dr. Mortimer did not know what to do with him, for he feared that what was supposed to have been a familiar legend was really truth, that is, he feared for the life of Sir Henry. Holmes replies that he is calm and will accompany the young heir all the time, not leaving him alone, while he is in charge of resolving the case. Later, Dr. Mortimer returned with Sir Henry, worried, because a mysterious letter came to them which contained cut-out words, except "paramo". The letter said: "If you value your life or your sanity, you must keep away from the moor."

Book excerpt: «La novela surgió de un comentario que escuchó Conan Doyle de su amigo Fletcher Robinson sobre un perro espectral que merodeaba cerca de su casa en Dartmoor.
