Commemorative edition marking the 125th anniversary of its first publication, featuring the original illustrations by Sidney Paget. Translated by Esther Tusquets Guillén. The first stories starring Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic character are gathered in this commemorative edition celebrating the 125th anniversary of their original publication. The original illustrations by Sidney Paget accompany the tales just as they did in The Strand magazine at the end of the 19th century. This edition allows readers to savor the original charm of a book that instantly cemented the fame of the world’s most famous detective. Esther Tusquets’s splendid translation brings readers closer to some of Holmes’s best-known mysteries, such as “The Adventure of the Speckled Band”, in which a woman’s last words and an inexplicable whistle in the night are the only clues, or “The Five Orange Pips”, where a letter unveils a transatlantic conspiracy.
