L'héritier des Baskerville est retrouvé mort. Doit-on accuser ce chien démoniaque qui rôde sur la lande, sur les terres de la famille Baskerville ? Quiconque l'aperçoit est perdu. Pour Sherlock Holmes, cette histoire n'est qu'une obscure légende. Et il le prouvera. Le voilà donc sur les traces de la bête diabolique.

Le chien des Baskerville

Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes Un scandale en Bohême Une aventurière aussi dangereuse que séduisante... Un visiteur masqué, venu conÞer à Sherlock Holmes un secret susceptible de provoquer une tempête dans les chancelleries européennes...
Tout à son récent mariage, le Dr Watson avait depuis quelque temps négligé son prestigieux ami. Mais, avide de connaître l'issue de cette nouvelle affaire, il va reprendre sans tarder le chemin de Baker Street. Et nous verrons le détective s'acquitter de sa mission en un tournemain, non sans avoir trouvé un adversaire à sa mesure. Tout l'art de Conan Doyle est ici concentré à haute dose.

Les aventures de Sherlock Holmes ; un scandale en Bohême

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a British writer and physician. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction.

Un neurologue brillant, mais pauvre, s'est engagé dans un accord peu conventionnel. Un riche investisseur le finance, lui permettant ainsi d'ouvrir une clinique dans un quartier huppé. En échange, ce dernier prend trois-quarts du revenu du neurologue et souhaite que celui-ci soit toujours prêt à s'occuper de lui, étant lui-même infirme. Cet arrangement à jusqu'ici bien convenu au neurologue, mais ces derniers temps, son bienfaiteur se comporte étrangement et, de plus, il lui a apporté un nouveau client, qui est encore plus étrange. C'est pour cette raison qu'il fait maintenant appel à Sherlock Holmes.  

"Le Malade pensionnaire" est extrait de "Les Souvenirs de Sherlock Holmes".



Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) est né à Édimbourg en Écosse et a étudié la médecine à l'Université d'Édimbourg. Après ses études, il fut engagé sur divers bateau comme médecin de bord. Durant la seconde guerre des Boers, il fut médecin d'armée en Afrique du Sud. Suite à son service, il fut fait chevalier en 1902, devenant ainsi Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Quand il rentra au Royaume-Uni et ouvrit sa propre clinique, il se mit aussi à écrire des romans policiers. Outre les livres de la série Sherlock Holmes, il a publié une trentaine de livres.

Le Malade pensionnaire

There is no braver officer in Napoleon's cavalry than etienne Gerard - especially in his own opinion. Whether kidnapped by gangs of brigands or outnumbered by enemy troops, the plucky little soldier is constantly gallant, chivalrous and ready to face any danger, even if he doesn't always think before he acts.

The Sign of the Four

My friend, Lionel Dacre, lived in the Avenue de Wagram, Paris. His house was that small one, with the iron railings and grass plot in front of it, on the left-hand side as you pass down from the Arc de Triomphe. I fancy that it had been there long before the avenue was constructed, for the grey tiles were stained with lichens, and the walls were mildewed and discoloured with age. It looked a small house from the street, five windows in front, if I remember right, but it deepened into a single long chamber at the back. It was here that Dacre had that singular library of occult literature, and the fantastic curiosities which served as a hobby for himself, and an amusement for his friends. A wealthy man of refined and eccentric tastes, he had spent much of his life and fortune in gathering together what was said to be a unique private collection of Talmudic, cabalistic, and magical works, many of them of great rarity and value. His tastes leaned toward the marvellous and the monstrous, and I have heard that his experiments in the direction of the unknown have passed all the bounds of civilization and of decorum. To his English friends he never alluded to such matters, and took the tone of the student and virtuoso; but a Frenchman whose tastes were of the same nature has assured me that the worst excesses of the black mass have been perpetrated in that large and lofty hall, which is lined with the shelves of his books, and the cases of his museum.
