Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, who first appeared in publication in 1887. He is the creation of Scottish born author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A brilliant London-based detective, Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess, and is renowned for his skillful use of deductive reasoning (somewhat mistakenly - see inductive reasoning) and astute observation to solve difficult cases. He is arguably the most famous fictional detective ever created, and is one of the best known and most universally recognizable literary characters in any genre.Conan Doyle wrote four novels and fifty-six short stories that featured Holmes. All but four stories were narrated by Holmes friend and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson, two having been narrated by Holmes himself, and two others written in the third person. The first two stories, short novels, appeared in Beetons Christmas Annual for 1887 and Lippincotts Monthly Magazine in 1890. The character grew tremendously in popularity with the beginning of the first series of short stories in The Strand Magazine in 1891; further series of short stories and two serialized novels appeared almost right up to Conan Doyles death in 1930. The stories cover a period from around 1878 up to 1903, with a final case in 1914.in this collection you will find:Novels: A Study in Scarlet The Sign of the Four The Hound of the Baskervilles The Valley of FearShort Story Collections: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes The Return of Sherlock Holmes His Last Bow

Operada por el golpe de Martínez Campos en los últimos días de 1874, consagrada por la gestión de Cánovas en 1875, e institucionalizada por la Constitución de 1876, el periodo que se abrió a partir de la restauracion borbonica en la figura de Alfonso XII, hasta la muerte de Canovas y el Desastre del 98 supuso un periodo de la historia de España de estabilidad politica, paz y progreso que sin embargo ha sido objeto del desprecio o ninguneo por parte de intelectuales e historiadores desde practicamente su desaparicion. Jose Luis Comellas, entre cuyos intereses esta la figura de Canovas, se propuso en los años setenta elaborar un libro con el que comprender con facilidad lo sustantivo de la Restauracion, y vincularlo con la transicion democratica que iniciaba España. La estructura pedagogica de esta obra, la claridad expositiva, la sencillez en la explicacion y el estilo narrativo le dan un gran atractivo a su lectura. Si escribio sobre Canovas que supo comprender el panorama en su conjunto, Comellas mira mas al conjunto (ideas generales) que al detalle, que tiene recurrente cabida en forma de anecdota ilustrativa, lo que facilita su estilo dinamico, narrativo y fresco, que permite asimilar facilmente la logica del sistema: antecedentes, principios del canovismo, construccion y funcionamiento del mismo, para concluir con un capitulo titulado Las raices del fracaso, en el que se exponen tambien la razones de la mala fama de este periodo. Si de alguna manera Comellas proponia este libro de Historia como una guia util de cara a la construccion del sistema politico posfranquista. Hoy dia podemos ver de nuevo, en la crisis del bipartidismo, una razon mas para conocer este asombroso oasis en el turbulento siglo XIX español.
