《Sherlock Holmes ： Complete Collection》[福尔摩斯探案集][5分AZW3]

Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, who first appeared in publication in 1887. He is the creation of Scottish born author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A brilliant London-based detective, Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess, and is renowned for his skillful use of deductive reasoning (somewhat mistakenly - see inductive reasoning) and astute observation to solve difficult cases. He is arguably the most famous fictional detective ever created, and is one of the best known and most universally recognizable literary characters in any genre.

如果你到世界各地旅行，不论是巴黎还是纽约，东京还是伦敦，你会看到在大小书店、车站码头，甚至在火车车厢和飞机的座舱里，到处都有侦探小说出售；你翻开欧美的报刊杂志，立刻就会看到醒目的侦探小说的新书预告。侦探小说今天拥有最大数量的读者。

1887年，一位叫柯南·道尔的医生以大侦探夏洛克?福尔摩斯为主角，在刊物上发表了《血字的研究》，从此后人们发现原来侦探小说还可以如此实用，能渗透日常生活的肌理找到事件真相。于是，全世界都开始为福尔摩斯而疯狂，他独特的思维方式，他瘦削的体态与古怪的生活方式，他敏锐的洞察力以及让助理华生恐惧到背后发毛的判断能力，让这位名侦探成为神一般的存在，为陷入迷雾中的英国伦敦点燃一线曙光，贝克街221号缔造的传奇就这样诞生了。

福尔摩斯这个人物，彻底地体现了一种维多利亚时代的实证精神——一种基于理性和科学的信念。这也是他的中文译者最景仰他的地方。
