Después de que Conan Doyle matara a Sherlock Holmes en "El problema final" en 1893, la demanda pública del regreso del legendario detective fue abrumadora. Después de casi una década, Conan Doyle resucitó a su querido personaje, para el deleite de los lectores de todo el mundo. La colección marca el resurgimiento de Holmes, con el Dr. Watson narrando los casos de su viejo amigo, haciendo una crónica de sus aventuras una vez más. La primera historia de la colección, "La aventura de la casa vacía", explica la milagrosa supervivencia de Holmes de su supuesta muerte en las cataratas de Reichenbach. En esta historia, Holmes revela que fingió su muerte para evadir a sus enemigos, en particular al coronel Sebastian Moran, un socio del difunto profesor Moriarty. Watson está emocionado y conmocionado de ver a Holmes con vida, y juntos asumen nuevos desafíos para resolver el asesinato del Honorable Ronald Adair. La historia destaca la cuidadosa planificación de Holmes, sus habilidades para el disfraz y su capacidad para burlar tanto a sus enemigos como a sus amigos más cercanos. El regreso de Holmes no sólo fue significativo para el mundo de la ficción, sino también para la carrera literaria de Conan Doyle. La presión de los fans para resucitar a Sherlock Holmes fue inmensa, y Conan Doyle acabó cediendo. "La aventura de la casa vacía" ofrece a los lectores una explicación satisfactoria del regreso de Holmes y prepara el terreno para una nueva serie de investigaciones apasionantes. La colección muestra la capacidad de Conan Doyle para mantener a sus lectores interesados ​​mientras desarrolla el personaje de Holmes y sus métodos. "La aventura del constructor de Norwood" es otro de los cuentos clásicos de esta colección, en el que las habilidades deductivas de Holmes se ponen a prueba en un caso que involucra a un joven abogado acusado de asesinato. El acusado, John Hector McFarlane, busca la ayuda de Holmes cuando todas las pruebas apuntan en su contra. Este caso es un brillante ejemplo de cómo Holmes junta detalles aparentemente insignificantes para desentrañar la verdad. La capacidad de Conan Doyle para tejer tramas intrincadas, llenas de pistas falsas y pistas falsas, mantiene al lector en vilo hasta el final. Una de las historias más interesantes de la colección es "La aventura de los bailarines", en la que una serie de mensajes codificados, representados por monigotes, conducen a un misterio mortal. Este caso es una muestra de las habilidades criptográficas de Holmes y destaca cómo puede descifrar pistas que otros pasan por alto. La historia revela la profundidad de las habilidades de Holmes, desde la lógica y el razonamiento hasta la criptografía, lo que refuerza su condición de detective por excelencia. El tema del engaño y el disfraz es central en muchas historias de la colección. En "La aventura de Charles Augustus Milverton", Holmes y Watson se enfrentan a uno de sus casos más ambiguos desde el punto de vista moral. Milverton, un chantajista, tiene la vida y la reputación de muchas personas a su merced, pero los medios legales resultan ineficaces contra él. Holmes adopta un personaje encubierto para enfrentarse a este villano, mostrando su voluntad de saltarse las reglas en pos del bien común. La historia se adentra en las zonas grises de la justicia, mientras Holmes y Watson afrontan las consecuencias de sus acciones. En "La aventura de los seis Napoleones", Holmes recibe el encargo de investigar una serie de incidentes de vandalismo aparentemente aleatorios relacionados con bustos de Napoleón. Sin embargo, a medida que se desarrolla la historia, queda claro que hay mucho más en juego. Holmes demuestra su gran perspicacia, ya que comprende que cada acción tiene un motivo, y su incansable búsqueda de la verdad lo lleva a descubrir una operación oculta de contrabando de joyas. Esta historia enfatiza la creencia de Holmes de que nada es aleatorio y que cada crimen tiene una explicación lógica. "La aventura del colegio del priorato" es otro relato memorable que trata del secuestro de un joven noble de un internado de élite. A medida que Holmes investiga, descubre una red de mentiras, avaricia y traición familiar. Este caso muestra el talento de Conan Doyle para construir intrincados misterios dentro de las rígidas estructuras sociales de la Inglaterra victoriana. También subraya el desdén de Holmes por la arrogancia de la clase alta y su compromiso con la justicia, independientemente del estatus social. A lo largo de toda la colección, las interacciones de Holmes con Watson siguen siendo una piedra angular de las historias. En "La aventura de las gafas de oro", Holmes y Watson investigan el asesinato de una secretaria, lo que los lleva a desentrañar una intriga política rusa de décadas de antigüedad. El papel de Watson como cronista de Holmes es crucial, y su admiración por los métodos de Holmes añade calidez y humor a la narrativa. Su asociación es el corazón de las historias, con la humanidad de Watson equilibrando la lógica a veces fría y calculadora de Holmes. En "La aventura de los tres cuartos desaparecidos", Holmes se ocupa del caso de un jugador de rugby desaparecido, lo que lleva a una conclusión emotiva e inesperada. La historia resalta la empatía de Holmes, un rasgo que no suele asociarse con el personaje. Este caso profundiza en la pérdida personal y los efectos de los secretos guardados en el seno de las familias. Conan Doyle demuestra que incluso el gran detective no es inmune a las complejidades emocionales de la vida, y la historia añade profundidad al personaje de Holmes. La relación de Holmes con la ley es otro tema recurrente en la colección. En "La aventura de Abbey Grange", Holmes investiga el asesinato de un aristócrata rico, pero a medida que se desarrolla el caso, se da cuenta de que la ley puede no impartir verdadera justicia. El sentido de la moralidad de Holmes a menudo entra en conflicto con el estricto sistema legal y, en esta historia, decide dejar ir al culpable, creyendo que ya se ha impartido justicia moral. Esta flexibilidad moral añade complejidad al personaje de Holmes, lo que lo convierte en algo más que un simple solucionador de acertijos. En "La aventura de la segunda mancha", Holmes es contratado para recuperar un documento gubernamental robado que podría provocar un conflicto internacional si se hace público. Esta historia muestra el trabajo de Holmes en cuestiones políticas, destacando su papel como protector de la seguridad nacional. Lo que está en juego es más importante que en los casos típicos, lo que demuestra que la influencia de Holmes se extiende más allá del submundo criminal de Londres y llega a los pasillos del poder. Conan Doyle utiliza las historias de El regreso de Sherlock Holmes para explorar más a fondo las habilidades del detective de formas nuevas y emocionantes. Holmes demuestra ser adaptable y refinar constantemente sus métodos para resolver casos cada vez más complejos. Ya sea descifrando mensajes codificados, desentrañando secretos familiares o enfrentándose a dilemas morales, Holmes se mantiene en la cima de sus poderes. Uno de los aspectos más singulares de esta colección es la forma en que explora la dualidad de Sherlock Holmes: su mente fría y lógica equilibrada por momentos de compasión y juicio moral. Holmes no es simplemente una máquina para resolver crímenes; es un hombre moldeado por el mundo que lo rodea, y sus interacciones con la sociedad enriquecen su carácter. En "La aventura de los tres estudiantes", Holmes descubre un escándalo de fraude en una universidad. La simplicidad del caso contrasta con los misterios más peligrosos y de alto riesgo de la colección, pero demuestra la atención de Holmes a los detalles y su creencia de que ningún caso es demasiado pequeño si está en juego la justicia. Conan Doyle utiliza esta historia para recordar a los lectores que Holmes es tan capaz de resolver pequeños problemas domésticos como grandes conspiraciones internacionales. A lo largo de la colección, Conan Doyle también hace hincapié en la naturaleza cambiante del crimen en el mundo moderno. Los casos a los que se enfrenta Holmes no son simplemente actos violentos, sino que a menudo implican engaño, manipulación y dinámicas de poder. En "La aventura del ciclista solitario", Holmes investiga al misterioso acosador de una joven, revelando una trama más profunda de secuestro y matrimonio forzado. El caso destaca los peligros a los que se enfrentan las mujeres en la sociedad victoriana y el papel de Holmes como protector de los vulnerables. Los escenarios de las historias, desde las calles neblinosas de Londres hasta la campiña inglesa, desempeñan un papel crucial en la atmósfera de la colección. Conan Doyle retrata vívidamente los callejones oscuros, las grandes propiedades y los pueblos aislados donde Holmes lleva a cabo sus investigaciones. Esta sensación de lugar añade una capa de autenticidad e intriga a las historias, sumergiendo a los lectores en el mundo de la Inglaterra de finales del siglo XIX. Los adversarios de Holmes en esta colección son tan variados como los propios casos. Desde chantajistas como Milverton hasta espías internacionales y simples ladrones, los criminales a los que Holmes se enfrenta lo desafían de diferentes maneras. En cada caso, sin embargo, Holmes demuestra su intelecto inigualable, resolviendo acertijos que dejan a los demás desconcertados. El regreso de Sherlock Holmes no es solo un resurgimiento del personaje, sino un testimonio del genio narrativo de Conan Doyle. Cada relato de la colección aporta algo nuevo, ya sea un nuevo tipo de crimen, un dilema moral o una exploración más profunda del personaje de Holmes. En "La aventura del pie del diablo", Holmes y Watson se toman unas merecidas vacaciones, pero se ven envueltos en un caso que involucra un veneno misterioso. El caso es uno de los más oscuros de la colección, con temas de locura y muerte como eje central. Muestra el costo psicológico que la búsqueda constante de justicia puede tener incluso en el mejor detective. El regreso de Holmes también pone de relieve la importancia de la amistad. A lo largo de toda la colección, Watson sigue siendo el fiel compañero de Holmes, documentando sus aventuras y aportando la calidez emocional que contrasta con la mente analítica de Holmes. Su vínculo es fundamental para el éxito de las historias y, sin Watson, el personaje de Holmes probablemente parecería mucho más frío y distante. Por último, El regreso de Sherlock Holmes es una celebración de la novela policíaca en sí misma. La colección refuerza por qué Sherlock Holmes sigue siendo uno de los personajes más emblemáticos y duraderos de la historia literaria. Conan Doyle equilibra con maestría tramas emocionantes, personajes complejos y dilemas morales, creando una colección que sigue cautivando a los lectores más de un siglo después. La brillantez de Sherlock Holmes no radica solo en su destreza intelectual, sino también en su humanidad, sus defectos y su inquebrantable dedicación a la justicia.

Download or read book Arthur George written by Julian Barnes and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2009-02-24 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brilliantly imagined and irresistibly readable, Arthur & George is a major new novel from Julian Barnes, a wonderful combination of playfulness, pathos and wisdom. Searching for clues, no one would ever guess that the lives of Arthur and George might intersect. Growing up in shabby-genteel nineteenth-century Edinburgh, Arthur is saddled with a dad who is a disgrace and a mum he wishes to protect, and is propelled into a life of action. To his astonishment, his career as a self-made man of letters brings him riches and fame and, in the world at large, he becomes the perfect picture of the honourable English gentlemen. George is irredeemably an outsider, and has no hope of becoming such a picture. Though he’s dogged and logical, a vicar’s son from rural Staffordshire, he is set apart, and he and his family are targeted in his boyhood by a poison-pen campaign. George finds safe harbour in the reliability of rules, and grows up to become a solicitor, putting his faith in the insulating value of British justice. Then crisis upsets the uneasy equilibrium of both men’s lives. Arthur is knocked for a loop by guilt and other dishonourable emotions. George is put to the sorest test, accused of a horrible crime. And from that point on their lives weave together in the most profound and surprising way, as each man becomes the other’s salvation. Arthur & George is a masterful novel about low crime and high spirituality, guilt and innocence, identity, nationality and race. Most of all, it’s a profound and witty meditation on the fateful differences between what we believe, what we know and what we can prove. George and his father pray together, kneeling side by side on the scrubbed boards. Then George climbs into bed while his father locks the door and turns out the light. As he falls asleep, George sometimes thinks of the floor, and how his soul must be scrubbed just as the boards are scrubbed. Father is not an easy sleeper, and has a tendency to groan and wheeze. Sometimes, in the early morning, when dawn is beginning to show at the edges of the curtains, Father will catechize him. "George, where do you live?" "The Vicarage, Great Wyrley." "And where is that?" "Staffordshire, Father." "And where is that?" "The centre of England." "And what is England, George?" "England is the beating heart of the Empire, Father." "Good. And what is the blood that flows through the arteries and veins of the Empire to reach even its farthest shore?" "The Church of England." "Good, George." And after a while Father will begin to groan and wheeze again. George watches the outline of the curtain harden. He lies there thinking of arteries and veins making red lines on the map of the world, linking Britain to all the places coloured pink: Australia and India and Canada and islands dotted everywhere. He thinks of blood bubbling though these tubes and emerging in Sydney, Bombay, the St. Lawrence Waterway. Bloodlines, that is a word he has heard somewhere. With the pulse of blood in his ears, he begins to fall asleep again. —excerpt from Arthur & George

Download or read book Mastermind written by Maria Konnikova and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-01-03 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling guide to thinking like literature's greatest detective. "Steven Pinker meets Sir Arthur Conan Doyle" (Boston Globe), by the author of The Confidence Game. No fictional character is more renowned for his powers of thought and observation than Sherlock Holmes. But is his extraordinary intellect merely a gift of fiction, or can we learn to cultivate these abilities ourselves, to improve our lives at work and at home? We can, says psychologist and journalist Maria Konnikova, and in Mastermind she shows us how. Beginning with the “brain attic”—Holmes’s metaphor for how we store information and organize knowledge—Konnikova unpacks the mental strategies that lead to clearer thinking and deeper insights. Drawing on twenty-first-century neuroscience and psychology, Mastermind explores Holmes’s unique methods of ever-present mindfulness, astute observation, and logical deduction. In doing so, it shows how each of us, with some self-awareness and a little practice, can employ these same methods to sharpen our perceptions, solve difficult problems, and enhance our creative powers. For Holmes aficionados and casual readers alike, Konnikova reveals how the world’s most keen-eyed detective can serve as an unparalleled guide to upgrading the mind.
