1902
Arthur Conan Doyle
1902
Translated by Eugenia Żmijewska
A detective novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the iconic detective Sherlock Holmes and his loyal companion, Dr. John Watson, as they unravel the mystery surrounding the death of Sir Charles Baskerville and the legendary curse of the Baskerville family linked to a supernatural hound. At the start of the book, we find Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in their shared residence in London. Watson observes Holmes analyzing a walking cane left by a visitor, Dr. Mortimer, who is soon introduced as a provincial doctor seeking Holmes's expertise on a troubling case. He brings with him an intriguing old manuscript related to the Baskerville family and recounts the shadowy circumstances surrounding Sir Charles's recent death, which has stirred local fears of a supernatural beast. As Holmes and Watson begin to dissect the details, the tone is set for a blend of logic-driven detective work and chilling folklore that intertwines throughout the narrative.
