Цигулката, евтиният тютюн, старата черна лула, изрезките от вестници... разхвърляната стая на първия етаж на улица Бейкър, от която са започнали толкова много забележителни приключения. По стените висят научни таблици, а тезгяхът е прогорен от киселини, заради проби с химически вещества.

Parece que Doyle y el doctor Watson no tenian los mismos puntos de vista sobre el interes de las correrias de Holmes. Mientras el primero lo consideraba un entrometido que le impedia dedicarse a cosas "mas serias", Watson se empeñaba en resucitar los casos que tenia cuidadosamente anotados en su archivo. La historia ha dado la razon al doctor y ha preferido la "agenda" del detective a todas las preocupaciones metafisicas de su autor. Y Watson, que era ya para Holmes "una de sus costumbres, como el violin, el tabaco... y otras quiza menos disculpables", abre esa caja de sorpresas y nos ... |

"Баскервилското куче" е една от най-добрите творби на Артър Конан Дойл за известния детектив Шерлок Холмс. Сюжетът на тази история се основава на древната девънширска легенда за дяволското куче, което от няколко поколения преследва рода Баскервил. Интересно преплитане на събития, разгорещени страсти в борбата за наследството, мистерия със семеен портрет и поява на свръхестествени чудовища на финала - това е достойна задача за Шерлок Холмс. Уменията и интелигентността на известния детектив отново се противопоставят на коварството на хладнокръвен нападател. И както винаги до Холмс е верният му и незаменим ... |
