Book excerpt: Annotations This book is unique because it contains a literary criticism that was made by Juan AcevedoSherlock Holmes had already given guidelines of his exceptional genius in Study in Scarlet and in the sign of the Four, but the readers at that time did not notice his genius. So to Conan Doyle (or should we say, to Watson?) He had the brilliant idea of going to the detective for a series of short stories. He began by divulging them in the Strand magazine in July 1891; in October, when only three stories had been published, editors begged for more of Holmes' adventures, the public bought the editions until they were sold out, and Doyle increased his dividends. The pressure of the public was such that before finishing the twelve stories that make up this volume, the author began to glimpse the idea of condemning his child to popular oblivion. In The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes we are told, with a decidedly agile rhythm and more spontaneous style than in the first novels, twelve stories, twelve detective cases, some fascinating, others unfortunate, several comedians, but all full of wit, all exciting. A while before writing these stories, Conan Doyle had written two novels with the great detective as a glittering hero (Study in Scarlet and The Sign of the Four), but although these had reached a certain approval among readers, it was from the publication of the short stories that Sherlock Holmes began to enter the category of myth and the author could devote himself fully to his craft as a writer. At a time when people were being forced into serialized literature, Arthur Conan Doyle began publishing these short stories about Sherlock Holmes' adventures and had such acceptance from the public that he wrote dozens of them. Five of them are collected in this book: The empty house, The mystery of LowerNorwood, The puppets, A family drama and Peter the Black .. Although thought as independent stories, have correspondence in time, so that what happens in any of them, can affect the argument of others For example, in The Empty House, the story begins with Mr. Holmes having died in an ambush suffered in a previous book, although it is clear that he has not died: It is only a strategy to defeat his enemies. In The Mystery of Lowwood Norwood has to prove the innocence of a man accused of homicide, when all the evidence points to him. The puppets is a fiction in which he tests his suitability to decipher indecipherable messages (obviously, resorting to exceptional means by him conceived and collected in a treaty he published) In a family drama, . the entanglement at first is opposed to him, but thanks to his tenacity and intuition he finally manages to solve the crime. And finally, Pedro, the Negro, is an adventure story, "Holmes classic."
