Book summary

Everyone believed Sherlock Holmes was dead. Yet he reappears in London, before Dr Watson's eyes, and takes up his cases again: drawings of little dancing men that hide a secret message, busts of Napoleon smashed one after another, a marksman lying in wait for him in an empty house.

Thirteen cases in which the smallest detail becomes a clue.

With their lively dialogue and clear sentences, they can each be read in one sitting in the language you are learning.

The plot

シャーロック・ホームズ、帰る。名探偵シャーロック・ホームズはスイスの滝で死んだ――三年間、誰もがそう信じていた。ある晩、腰の曲がった年寄りの古本屋が、ホームズの友人ワトソン医師を訪ねてくる。ワトソンがほんの一瞬振り向き、向き直ると、古本屋のいた場所にホームズが立っている。

The world of the book

汽車と自転車のイギリス。1894年から1901年まで、ホームズと友人のワトソン医師は、再びロンドンで部屋を分け合って暮らす。しばしば電報が助けを求め、二人は汽車で田舎へ向かう。当時は自転車が大流行。ある事件では若い音楽教師が毎週土曜日に自転車で駅へ通い、別の事件ではホームズが荒れ野で自転車のわだちを追う。
