Book summary

Just back from the war, Dr Watson is looking for lodgings in London and shares rooms with a strange companion: Sherlock Holmes. Soon a man is found dead in an empty house, without a single wound, and a word is written in letters of blood on the wall.

It is Sherlock Holmes's very first case, the one in which the most famous pair of detectives is born.

This short novel is easy to read in the language you are learning.

The plot

一位醫生遇見夏洛克·福爾摩斯。英國軍醫華生從阿富汗戰場歸來,正在倫敦尋找住處。

The world of the book

從倫敦到美國荒漠。小說始於1880年前後的倫敦,那是一座巨大的城市,常常籠罩在霧中。福爾摩斯在這裡從事一種他自創的職業:諮詢偵探。警方束手無策時,就來向他請教。到了書的中段,故事轉到三十多年前的美國,來到西部的廣袤荒漠。
