The Neverending Reading List: Book LIII

“The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Other Stories“ by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

[Part of the] Introduction

The British biographer Hesketh Pearson, writing in 1947, observed that there are only four characters in literature who are known to every barman and dockworker in England, even if they have not read a word of the stories written about them: Romeo, Shylock, Robinson Crusoe, and Sherlock Holmes. He opines that is because each of them is symbolic. Romeo stands for love, Shylock for avarice, Crusoe for adventure, and Holmes for sport. In Conan Doyle: His Life and His Art, Pearson writes: “Few readers think of Holmes as a sportsman, but that is how he figures in the popular imagination; he is a tracker, a hunter-down, a combination of bloodhound, pointer, and bulldog, who runs people to earth as a foxhound does a fox; in fact, a sleuth.” All this is true. In fact, popular culture has often slapped an Inverness cape and a deerstalker hat on a bloodhound, literally turning Holmes into a hound. But it is only half true, because to be “a regular Sherlock Holmes” is not to be a sportsman. It is to be a robot, a thinking machine who can deduce from the smallest bit of information everything about a person. Holmes is also more than just symbolic; he is iconic. Rather than compare him to literary figures like Romeo and Shylock, it is better to say that his place is among legendary British heroes, where he stands in the ranks of Robin Hood and King Arthur.

Comic Book Day - 25 September

Would you like an imaginative story wrapped in skilful illustrations? Necronauts is a short graphic novel - no more a short story - all black and white but it's one of my favourite pieces.

What's your favourite comic book?

Yeraltındaki Melekler Yerüstündeki Şeytanlar - Sevil Atasoy (kitap yorumu) Uzun zamandır yazarın @sevilatasoy kitabını okuyamıyordum. Bu vesileyle okumuş oldum. Kriminal alanda, polisiye - inceleme türünde, beklediğimden daha fazla detay barındıran, bilgilendirici ve şaşırtıcı bir kitap 📖 Konusundan bahsetmem gerekirse, ilginç vakalardan oluşan vahşet boyutunda işlenmiş cinayetler 😱, doktor ve yazar olan, geleceğe ışık tutan eserleriyle hala eserlerini okutan "Sir Arthur Conan Doyle" , "Sherlock Holmes" hikayeleri, suçluların can simidi haline gelen, sevilen dizi "Dexter" ile ilgili savunmalar🔍. "Michael Jackson" ile ilgili çarpıcı iddialar ve ölümüne ilişkin detaylar🔎. "Kanıt" dizisi🔍 ve Türkiye Cumhuriyetinin 8. Cumhurbaşkanı, Rahmetli Turgut Özal'ın naaşı ile ilgili alınan otopsi kararı, cenazenin çıkarılışından ortaya atılan iddialara kadar neler olup bittiğine dair detaylı açıklamalara yer verildiğini belirtmeden geçmek istemem. Bu kadar kapsamlı bilgileri, araştırmaya kalksam onda birine ulaşmam mümkün değil 🤔 Sevil Atasoy sayesinde okuma imkanı bulduğum için şanslıyım. Kriminal alana ya da polisiye konulara ilginiz varsa, okumanızı tavsiye ediyorum 😎🔍📖🕥 #sevilatasoy #doğankitap #kitap1sevda #polisiyeokuyankadinlar #yeraltındakimelekleryerüstündekişeytanlar #polisiye #inceleme #polisiyeinceleme #turgutözal #michaeljackson #ölüm #cinayet #katil #masum #adalet #kanıt #kusursuzcinayetyoktur #dexter #sirarthurconandoyle #sherlockholmes #soruşturma #vahşet #dna #delil #kriminal #kitapönerisi #kitap #kitaplar #kitapyorumu #kitaptavsiyesi https://www.instagram.com/p/CgR8GgFNgv4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Voglio segnalarvi #sherlockiana, l'appuntamento periodo con #sherlockholmes di @delos.digital. Racconti brevi, altri più lunghi, acquistabili in ebook direttamente dal sito #delosdigital (ma anche da altri shop online) attraverso cui vivere nuove avventure dell'investigatore nato dalla penna di #sirarthurconandoyle. Il nuovo caso "dell'ammiratore segreto" è appena uscito. Scritto da #jayantikaganguly, una delle migliori autrici di #apocrifi, vede Holmes e Watson coinvolti nelle indagini su un misterioso rapimento, in qualche modo collegato con una delle avventure canoniche più famose di #conandoyle (a voi scoprire quale!). La scrittura riprende perfettamente le atmosfere classiche di Sherlock Holmes e la storia è coinvolgente quanto basta per restare aggrappati alle pagine fino alla soluzione che conclude il caso. Indubbiamente uno dei racconti apocrifi più convincenti tra i tanti che ho letto finora. SHERLOCK HOLMES E IL CASO DELL'AMMIRATORE SEGRETO lo trovate nel catalogo @delos.digital #queenforeverblog #bookforeverblog #delos #delosdigital https://www.instagram.com/p/CerBOKFsA4x/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

While doing a little cleaning up, I found this flier for an unknown film, THE DEVIL'S PULPIT . It seems to have been a supernatural film involving actor William Gillette (who was so successful playing Sherlock Holmes in a play that be both wrote and starred in ,that he built Gillette Castle in Connecticut ) and Sir Arthur Doyle attempting to solve a mystery during the 1920's. The location mention in the title , THE DEVIL'S PULPIT , is located in Craighat, Scotland . Anyone know anything else about this unmade film?

New #felted project, a #oc #magicalgirl with #aliceinwonderland themes, and with her #familiar that is a #recarnation of #sherlockholmes . The set is supposed to be #victorianera themed, and so I thought that the two series would make a good match for the set. It did take me a while to make the doll, I started working on her a week ago, but unfortunately I couldn’t finish the project, due to having my younger sisters dogs that my household were taking care of when she went out of town, and the dogs like to go through my materials. #handmade #animeinspired #anime #manga #recycledart #lewiscarroll #sirarthurconandoyle #victoran #アニメ #漫画 #かわいい #フェッチ #ふしぎの国のアリス #魔法少女 #魔法少女まどかマギカ #シャーロック #シャーロックホームズ
