Mystery This collection isn't quite as good as "The Adventures", but in some ways it shows a continued improvement in Doyle's overall style.Many stories open with a more interesting description of the season, the times, or the relationship of our two central characters. (Watson's discussion of Holmes' neatness and simultaneous messiness in 'The Musgrave Ritual' is marvellous!) After my bad experiences with the first two books, I can't believe that I now look forward to every Holmes and Waston story, and yet I do. Every story in this volume is interesting and enjoyable, however more than a few have a tendency to slip back into the fantastic and melodramatic modes that coloured "The Sign of the Four" and "A Study in Scarlet". (most notably 'The Yellow Face'). Strangely, the only story I didn't really enjoy was 'Silver Blaze' which is, I understand, quite popular. 'The Final Problem', on the other hand, is delightful in its descriptive passages, and the unique situation of seeing Holmes in such danger. A very good read. (3.5 / 5) Part of me thinks that I need to make sure to start spreading out the shorter stories within one collection. But another part of me wonders if that would help. One of the things that's starting to wear on me with these stories is the way most cases are presented the same way—a big info dump to explain the case to Holmes and/or Watson. Sometimes, the person telling the story will share dialog from someone else, and I often find myself asking how the person could be so precise in telling the story. And then there was at least one of these stories where the person telling the story related dialog from someone else who was also relating an event that included further dialog. There came a point where my mind was completely muddled and I couldn't remember who was talking. When you're 3 deep in quotation marks ("'"You astound me!"'") to get the story across, it's getting a little ridiculous. Some of the cases were still intriguing, while others were a bit more obvious. I think I'm starting to get the hang of Doyle's pattern with these cases, though that doesn't mean I can figure them all out before the end. I think what surprised me the most was the introduction of Professor Moriarty, whom everyone knows as Holmes's arch-rival. But that story was more about Holmes trying to escape the man, with his brilliance and nefariousness only told to us, not really shown in any way. He's dangerous and worthy of Holmes's attention only because Holmes says so. I have no idea if the man will appear in any other stories, but to be honest, this one was kind of a dud for me. I did question partway through this book whether it was worth continuing. I think I will, as I don't think I can really judge the entire character without reading everything Doyle wrote about him. But when I come to the next short story collection, I'll probably take my time with it. Con Le memorie di Sherlock Holmes Arthur Conan Doyle tentò di uccidere Sherlock Holmes perché non lo sopportava più. Insomma, lui si riteneva uno “scrittore serio” che non poteva perder tempo ed energie a scrivere gialli con protagonista un eccentrico – seppur geniale – investigatore privato. Vista la mole di affezionati fan che seguivano le gesta di Sherlock Holmes e del dottor Watson, Conan Doyle non vide probabilmente altra alternativa a quella di uccidere il suo personaggio più celebre. Immagino, però, che fosse anche consapevole dello sconcerto – eufemismo – che avrebbe provocato nei fan: pensò bene quindi di far terminare la carriera di Holmes alla grande. Infatti, non solo ne L'ultima avventura l'autore scozzese diede all'investigatore un nemico degno della sua levatura – il professor Moriarty – ma, presi nel loro insieme, gli undici racconti de Le memorie di Sherlock Holmes sono tra i più belli e i più interessanti della sua produzione. In essi, infatti, conosciamo meglio l'uomo Sherlock, facciamo la conoscenza di suo fratello Mycroft e li vediamo interagire insieme; lo vediamo prendere una cantonata e il suo timore nell'eccessiva fiducia in se stesso; lo vediamo prendere tutti amabilmente per i fondelli e cercare la compagnia del suo amico Watson quando la situazione diventa difficile. Non potevi davvero pensare di farla franca a uccidere un personaggio così, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Certi personaggi, semplicemente, non si possono uccidere: diventano immortali – almeno finché il Sole risplenderà su le sciagure umane. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
