Book Description
The Hound of the Baskervilles is a classic detective novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, first published in 1901. It is widely regarded as one of his finest works and a masterpiece of the detective genre. This novel represents the third adventure of Sherlock Holmes, however, Dr. Watson narrates most of the story. The story follows the investigation into the mysterious death of Sir Charles Baskerville, who was found dead in the Baskerville Hall, the family’s large and isolated country estate located in Dartmoor, Devon. Despite the rumors that a supernatural giant hound may have been the cause of Sir Charles's death, Sherlock Holmes, who is absent from London on another case, sends his assistant and friend, Dr. John Watson, to investigate. Dr. Watson gradually discovers that the Baskerville family has been subject to a curse for centuries, which entails they are haunted by an enormous, demonic hound that roams the moor. While investigating, Dr. Watson and the newest male heir, Sir Henry Baskerville, unexpectedly become the target of several attempts on their lives, which only strengthen Holmes's and Watson's determination to solve this mystery. This novel is a quintessential example of the gothic and mystery genres, featuring a dark and menacing atmosphere that is a hallmark of Conan Doyle's works. Doyle also masterfully crafted the characters, including the famously mysterious and logical Sherlock Holmes, as well as the remarkable setting of the moors, which naturally creates a sense of foreboding within the plot. The plot features classic elements of detective fiction such as a puzzle to be solved, clues to be discovered, and red herrings to be dismissed, all while building suspense and tension towards the resolution that has captivated readers and inspired adaptations, translations and retellings for over a century. The Hound of the Baskervilles is a captivating and thrilling read that is highly enjoyable in its expert combination of mystery, horror, and adventure, offering a perfect example of the classic English detective novel.

Book Description
Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who was usually very late in the mornings, save upon those not infrequent occasions when he was up all night, was seated at the breakfast table. I stood upon the hearth-rug and picked up the stick which our visitor had left behind him the night before. It was a fine, thick piece of wood, bulbous-headed, of the sort which is known as a “Penang lawyer.” Just under the head was a broad silver band nearly an inch across. “To James Mortimer, M.R.C.S., from his friends of the C.C.H.,” was engraved upon it, with the date “1884.” It was just such a stick as the old-fashioned family practitioner used to carry—dignified, solid, and reassuring. “Well, Watson, what do you make of it?” Holmes was sitting with his back to me, and I had given him no sign of my occupation. “How did you know what I was doing? I believe you have eyes in the back of your head.” “I have, at least, a well-polished, silver-plated coffee-pot in front of me,” said he. “But, tell me, Watson, what do you make of our visitor’s stick? Since we have been so unfortunate as to miss him and have no notion of his errand, this accidental souvenir becomes of importance. Let me hear you reconstruct the man by an examination of it.” “I think,” said I, following as far as I could the methods of my companion, “that Dr. Mortimer is a successful, elderly medical man, well-esteemed since those who know him give him this mark of their appreciation.” “Good!” said Holmes. “Excellent!” “I think also that the probability is in favour of his being a country practitioner who does a great deal of his visiting on foot.” “Why so?” “Because this stick, though originally a very handsome one has been so knocked about that I can hardly imagine a town practitioner carrying it. The thick-iron ferrule is worn down, so it is evident that he has done a great amount of walking with it.”“Perfectly sound!” said Holmes. “And then again, there is the ‘friends of the C.C.H.’ I should guess that to be the Something Hunt, the local hunt to whose members he has possibly given some surgical assistance, and which has made him a small presentation in return.” “Really, Watson, you excel yourself,” said Holmes, pushing back his chair and lighting a cigarette. “I am bound to say that in all the accounts which you have been so good as to give of my own small achievements you have habitually underrated your own abilities. It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but you are a conductor of light. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it. I confess, my dear fellow, that I am very much in your debt.” He had never said as much before, and I must admit that his words gave me keen pleasure, for I had often been piqued by his indifference to my admiration and to the attempts which I had made to give publicity to his methods. I was proud, too, to think that I had so far mastered his system as to apply it in a way which earned his approval. He now took the stick from my hands and examined it for a few minutes with his naked eyes. Then with an expression of interest he laid down his cigarette, and carrying the cane to the window, he looked over it again with a convex lens. “Interesting, though elementary,” said he as he returned to his favourite corner of the settee. “There are certainly one or two indications upon the stick. It gives us the basis for several deductions.” “Has anything escaped me?” I asked with some self-importance. “I trust that there is nothing of consequence which I have overlooked?” “I am afraid, my dear Watson, that most of your conclusions were erroneous. When I said that you stimulated me I meant, to be frank, that in noting your fallacies I was occasionally guided towards the truth. Not that you are entirely wrong in this instance. The man is certainly a country practitioner. And he walks a good deal.”

Book Description
The Hound of the Baskervilles (1901-02) is Arthur Conan Doyle's most celebrated Sherlock Holmes adventure. At the end of the yew tree path of his ancestral home, Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead. Close by are the footprints of a gigantic hound. Called to investigate, Holmes seems to face a supernatural foe. In the tense narration of the detective's efforts to solve the crime, Conan Doyle meditates on late Victorian and early twentieth-century ideas of ancestry and atavism, the possible biological determination of criminals, the stability of the British landed classes, and the place of the supernatural. Historical documents included with this fully-annotated Broadview edition help contextualize the novel's debates and reveal its cultural and literary significance as a supreme instance of early detective fiction. Also included is the Conan Doyle short story “The Adventure of the Speckled Band.”
