Valley of fear. Notes about Sherlock Holmes. Doyle A.K.

English doctor and writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is known to the whole world as an unsurpassed master of the detective genre, the author of many works about the brilliant detective Sherlock Holmes and his faithful friend Dr. Watson. The classic translations of these stories and novels, made for a long time and many different translators, suffer from known shortcomings: discrepancies, gaps, frank mistakes. The second volume is offered to your attention (the novel “Valley of Fear”, the collection “Notes of Sherlock Holmes”) from a four -volume with a full translation of the entire Kholmovsky canon. This is truly a unique publication: all the works of the cycle are re -translated by Lyudmila Brilova and Sergey Sukharev - the masters whose translations of Cazuo Isiguro and Ray Bradbury, Francis Scott Fitzgerald and Charles Palliser, Thomas de Queens, German Melville and others have long become classic. At the same time, each volume includes many additional materials: preface to the early publications, the memoirs of Conan Doyle regarding certain works, some interviews of the writer. Plus, each volume is equipped with vast comments and is richly illustrated by the best classic drawings.

This book includes a full set of illustrations that accompanied the initial publication “Notes of Sherlock Holmes” and “Valley of Fear” in the magazine “Stand”, - Sydney Padzht and Frank Wiles, respectively.
