How is this book unique? Free AudiobookIllustrations includedUnabridgedThe Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. It was first published on 14 October 1892, though the individual stories had been serialised in The Strand Magazine between June 1891 and July 1892. The stories are not in chronological order, and the only characters common to all twelve are Holmes and Dr. Watson. As with all but four of the Sherlock Holmes stories, those contained within The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes are told by a first-person narrative from the point of view of Dr. Watson. In general the stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes identify, and try to correct, social injustices. Holmes is portrayed as offering a new, fairer sense of justice. The stories were well received, and boosted the subscriptions figures of The Strand Magazine, prompting Doyle to be able to demand more money for his next set of stories. The first story, "A Scandal in Bohemia", includes the character of Irene Adler, who, despite being featured only within this one story by Doyle, is a prominent character in modern Sherlock Holmes adaptations, generally as a love interest for Holmes. Doyle included four of the twelve stories from this collection in his twelve favourite Sherlock Holmes stories, picking "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" as his overall favourite.

To Sherlock Holmes she is always _the_ woman. I have seldom heardhim mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses andpredominates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any emotionakin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions, and that one particularly,were abhorrent to his cold, precise, but admirably balanced mind. Hewas, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine thatthe world has seen; but, as a lover, he would have placed himself in afalse position. He never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibeand a sneer. They were admirable things for the observer—excellentfor drawing the veil from men’s motives and actions. But for thetrained reasoner to admit such intrusions into his own delicate andfinely adjusted temperament was to introduce a distracting factor whichmight throw a doubt upon all his mental results. Grit in a sensitiveinstrument, or a crack in one of his own high-power lenses, would notbe more disturbing than a strong emotion in a nature such as his. Andyet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late IreneAdler, of dubious and questionable memory.
