This is an automatically translated description

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859-1930) is an English doctor and writer whose name is inextricably linked with the legendary literary hero, the detective Sherlock Holmes, who knows the deductive method as well as the bow of his favourite violin. The "highlight" of the "recluse from Baker Street", who has no equal in his ability to solve the most complex crime, is his intellectuality, irony and spiritual aristocracy. The characters of Sherlock Holmes and his friend Dr Watson were shown so vividly that they seemed real. Later, the Sherlock Holmes House appeared on a modest London street, Baker Street, and now receives millions of visitors from all over the world every year. Holmes himself entered the Guinness Book of Records as the most filmed literary character."

This collection, published at the height of the First World War in 1917, includes eight stories written mainly in the 1910s. The author tells the story of the best German spy in England, von Bork, who is preparing to leave for his homeland with secret documents and is unaware that Sherlock Holmes is already on his trail ("His Farewell Bow"). "The Adventure of the Cardboard Poodle, The Case of the Crimson Circle, The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax - in all these cases, according to Dr Watson, the famous detective truly "surpasses himself".
