Tajemnica Baskerville'ów: Dziwne Przygody Sherlocka Holmes
1902
Translated by Eugenia Żmijewska
The most famous of all Holmes adventures. On the mist-wrapped moors of Devon, a legendary hound haunts the Baskerville family, and when Sir Charles dies of apparent terror, the inheritance of Baskerville Hall becomes a death sentence. Dr. Mortimer pleads for Holmes's help, and the great detective dispatches Watson to the wild borderlands while he works in shadow, watching. The fog, the bogs, the lonely mansion, the eerie legend of a spectral beast all conspire to create an atmosphere of mounting dread. Yet Holmes, the apostle of logic, knows that behind every legend lies a very human villain. Stapleton's mask, the true heir's greed, the cleverest use of a hound in literary history, all fall before the master's powers of deduction. This is the quintessential Holmes: brilliant, cold, ultimately triumphant, while Watson narrates with trembling pen and the moors weep in the eternal English rain.

“Really, Watson, you excel yourself," said Holmes, pushing back his chair and lighting a cigarette. "I am bound to say that in all the accounts which you have been so good as to give of my own small achievements you have habitually underrated your own abilities. It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but you are a conductor of light. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it. I confess, my dear fellow, that I am very much in your debt.””
— Arthur Conan Doyle
