دانلود کتاب Sherlock Holmes - A centenary celebration

One hundred years ago Sherlock Holmes,
the world’s most famous detective, made
his debut, and this entertaining and
lavishly illustrated book is a centenary
tribute to him.
Allen Eyles studies the Sherlock Holmes
phenomenon and how it affected the life
of its creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
This is the first study within a single
volume of the entire Sherlock Holmes
phenomenon, and it is a valuable guide
for devotees and beginners alike. In
addition to the stories themselves, the
author considers the large number of
stage and screen versions that they have
inspired and looks at the attempts actors
have made over the years to portray the
detective.
Sherlock Holmes: A Centenary Celebra-
tion includes many of the original classic
illustrations by such artists as Sidney
Paget and Frederic Dorr Steele, and also
scenes from Holmes representations on
stage and screen, where he has been
played by actors such as William Gillette,
Basil Rathbone, Peter Cushing, Robert
Stephens and Roger Moore. It gathers
together a wealth of rare visual material,
much of it in full colour, from a wide
range of sources.
Although Conan Dovle died in 1930,
Sherlock Holmes lives on — for how can
someone whose obituary has not vet
appeared in The Times be dead?
Appendices list the sixty stories by Conan
Doyle, biographies of Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle, Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson,
a selection of literary studies and ref-
erence works, and collections of Sherlock
Holmes pastiche. There is also a chrono-
logical, selective listing of important
plays, films and television and radio
broadcasts featuring Sherlock Holmes.
