Sherlock Holmes. The archetype of the cunning detective, who always gets to the bottom of his environment and, of course, the criminals with almost uncanny combinatorial skills. Highly intelligent, analytical and yet only worth half without his sidekick Dr. Watson. With Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle created a character that is one of the most famous in world literature and has been adapted countless times for film and television. For this reason alone, his works are an integral part of any serious world literature library. Moreover, Doyle can be counted among the founders of the modern detective novel.
