Description

Uno studio in rosso (titolo originale "A Study in Scarlet") è il primo romanzo di Sir Arthur Conan Doyle della serie delle avventure del celebre detective Sherlock Holmes. Fu pubblicato nel 1887, e vi fu presentata la coppia più celebre della letteratura investigativa: Holmes e Watson. Contemporaneamente vi viene presentato il metodo analitico e deduttivo di Holmes, citando anche lo scrittore, Edgar Allan Poe, che per primo lo illustrò, a cui peraltro Holmes non risparmia critiche. Nel racconto del misterioso omicidio, in cui viene invocata la consulenza di Holmes da parte dei due ispettori Lestrade e Gregson, si inserisce una “storia nella storia”, ambientata nello Utah e nella setta dei Mormoni, che fa da presupposto al movente del caso. In questa storia l’autore non cela la sua riprovazione per tali società segrete, cosa che inseguito ripeterà, nel romanzo breve “La valle della paura”, anche questo con doppia ambientazione inglese e americana.

اول كتاب اقرأه لأرثر كونان و قد نال إعجابي فعلا

[Review contains minor spoilers]I came for Sherlock Holmes and stayed for John Ferrier. Where can I get me a man like that lol? Honest and hardworking, loyal and protective over his adoptive daughter, recognizes the mormons for the misogynistic cult they are AND celibate? Only in a book could such a perfect man exist.Anyways, everyone knows Sherlock Holmes and I looove, love, love the concept and the characters of Sherlock and John, as well as their dynamic. I've watched all movies and tv shows and finally I'm reading the books (btw if you're looking for a good tv show I can recommend the classic Granada Holmes and Elementary, don't bother with the BBC version unless you have nothing else to do).I never knew the book was parted in two stories, first half with John & Sherlock and the second half was the story of John Ferrier, but of course the story connects to the case. Honestly I didn't expect the second half to hold my attention as it did, I would've read a whole book or series about John Ferrier and his daughter on his own! Final words: Great introduction to Sherlock and John as characters, an actual classic for a reason (unlike some others... looking at you Shadow over innsmouth, ugh.)
