English physician and writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is known around the 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. Classical translations of these stories and novels, made long ago and by many different translators, suffer from certain shortcomings: discrepancies, omissions, frank errors. We offer to your attention the first volume (the novel “Etudes in scarlet tones”, the collection “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes”) from the four-volume book with a full translation of the entire Holmes canon .. This is a truly unique edition: all the works of the series are re-translated by Lyudmila Brilova and Sergey Sukharev - masters whose translations by Kazuo Ishiguro and Ray Bradbury, Francis Scott Fitzgerald and Charles Palliser, Thomas De Quincey, Herman Melville and others have long become classics. At the same time, each volume includes many additional materials: forewords to early publications, memoirs of Conan Doyle relating to certain works, some interviews of the writer. Plus, each volume is richly illustrated with the best classical drawings. This book includes a complete set of illustrations by Sidney Paget, accompanying the original publication of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in Strand magazine, as well as illustrations by Joseph Friedrich for one of the first Czech editions of The Study in Scarlet Tones.
