"All four legendary Sherlock Holmes novels, collected in a unique Graphic Deluxe Edition with an introduction by Michael Dirda Though endlessly reinterpreted, reinvented, and imitated, the Sherlock Holmes stories have never been surpassed. Sporting his signature billowing coat and pipe in hand, the genius investigator Holmes captivates readers with his alluring melancholy and superhuman intuition, while his partner, Dr. Watson, remains ever the perfect foil, a classic Victorian gentleman with brilliant intellect. Collected here are all four Holmes novels--A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and The Valley of Fear--tracing the origins of the pair up through showdowns with their greatest archenemies, including the infamous Professor Moriarty. Set in the seductive shadow world of Victorian London, the stories of Holmes and Watson live on, as immediate and original in our time as in their own. For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,500 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators"--… (more)

I am actually reading the Dell version of the book, and this is the correct cover but not ISBN number.

Prima volta che mi avvicino a Doyle, troppo conosciuto per essere completamente imparziale.
Invece piacevolmente sorpreso.
E' vero che i libri di SH sono gialli in cui il lettore non ha assolutamente modo di indovinare la storia e l'assassino, però è scritto bene, divertente e davvero un bel libro, che mostra modi di scrivere diversi e tutti interessanti.

Ottimo davvero, ed ottime le storie scelte! ( )
