Book summary

An old legend says that a monstrous hound haunts the Baskerville family on the Devon moor. One evening, Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead, his face frozen in terror. Near him are the footprints of a gigantic hound. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are called in to protect his heir.

It is Sherlock Holmes's most famous case, amid fog, bogs and fear of the supernatural.

Full of suspense, it is easy to read in the language you are learning.

The plot

裕福な英国人チャールズ・バスカヴィル卿が、荒野のほとりの屋敷近くで死体で見つかる。主治医のモーティマー医師は、探偵シャーロック・ホームズに、遺体から少し離れた場所で見たものを語る。

The world of the book

イングランドの荒野。事件の舞台はダートムア。イングランド南西部に広がる広大な荒野で、むき出しの丘と花崗岩の岩山が続く。中央には、泥に沈みかねない大きな沼地がある。先史時代の人々が築いた石の小屋の跡も今なお残る。そして近くの刑務所から、凶悪な囚人が脱走したばかりだ。
