Conan Doyle's "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" - The first short story collection with gems such as "The Ugly Tales of Bohemia" and "The Red Hair Guild".
I would like to introduce "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" published by Conan Doyle in 1892. I read the book from Shinchosha, the 130th printing of the 2018 edition translated by Ken Nobuhara.
Let's take a quick look at the book.
Genius Holmes, unable to solve the case!

The famous detective Sherlock Holmes, who haunts London in pursuit of bizarre cases, fascinates readers with his clever deductions and charming personality. This is the first collection of Holmes stories that established the modern detective novel. Ten stories, including "The Red-Haired Guild," which follows the machinations of a strange union that a red-haired man joined, and "The Man with the Twisted Lip," a story about a beggar who cannot stop after three days of begging. This collection is full of unexpected incidents and light humor.
This film, "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.A Study in Scarlet.", ,The Four Signatures.This will be the first short story in the Sherlock Holmes series, which was a big hit in
This is the first short story in the Sherlock Holmes series and its quality is unmistakable. I think this is the best of the many short stories that will be published in the future, and it is so interesting.
My favorite case among them is still "The Ugly of Bohemia". First of all, the title is ridiculously stylish. I take my hat off to the translator's sense of word choice.
And in this case, the famous Irene Adler makes an appearance. She is a brilliant, brilliant, and immensely beautiful woman that even Sherlock Holmes, who has no interest in women at all, takes a shine to. Not in a romantic sense, of course, but she is a character with an amazing wit that outwits Holmes.
Also, the conversation between Holmes and Watson discussed in this case is very interesting. The very basis of the Sherlock Holmes series is discussed here. I would like to introduce the conversation.
Whenever I hear the reasoning behind it, it's so ridiculously simple that even I feel like I could do it. But in reality, I don't know what's going on until I hear the explanation, which is pathetic. I don't think my eyes are any worse than yours.
That's true," Holmes said, lighting a rolled cigarette and slumping into an armchair. You see with your eyes, but you don't observe. There is a big difference between looking and observing. For example, you see a lot of the stairs on the way up from the front door to this room, don't you?
I've seen a lot."
How long?"
Hundreds of times.
How many steps are there?"
How many steps? I don't know.
I know you do. That's because you don't see with your heart. If I could only see with my eyes, I would have seen a lot. I know that there are 17 steps. That's because I see it with my eyes, and I see it with my heart.
Shinchosha, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, by Conan Doyle, translated by Ken Nobuhara, 2018, 130th printing edition, p. 12-13.
There is a definite difference between "seeing" and "observing."
It is a very interesting word, isn't it? Holmes' keenness was due to such "powers of observation. I can't help but admire him.
While "The Abomination of Bohemia" is a very interesting story in itself, it is also my favorite short story in that I get to hear this exchange between Holmes and Watson.
This short story collection also includes well-known short stories such as "The Red-Haired Guild," "The Man with the Twisted Lip," "The Blue Garnet," and "The String of Sticky Ties. In particular, "The Strand" is one of my favorite cases.
Each short story is less than 50 pages, so it is a quick and easy read. It's a very easygoing book!
You can read the book at a leisurely pace, one a day, or read it all at once, and enjoy it in different ways.
This is a great collection of short stories that I can confidently recommend to beginning readers. Why not pick up a copy?
The above is "Conan Doyle's "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" - The First Short Story Collection, which includes such gems as "The Ugly of Bohemia" and "The Red-Haired Guild".
