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

夏洛克·福尔摩斯回来了。三年来,人人都以为大侦探夏洛克·福尔摩斯已经葬身瑞士的一道瀑布。一天晚上,一个驼背的老书商走进福尔摩斯的朋友华生医生家。华生转头看了一眼,再回过身来时,书商站的地方竟是福尔摩斯。

The world of the book

火车与自行车的英国。1894年至1901年间,福尔摩斯和朋友华生医生又合住在伦敦的一套寓所里。常常有电报向他们求助,两人便乘火车奔赴乡间。当时自行车正风靡一时。在一桩案子里,一位年轻的音乐女教师每周六骑车去火车站;在另一桩案子里,福尔摩斯在荒原上追踪自行车的车辙。
