The Truth

--A book report of Famous Cases of Sherlock Holmes

The book is composed of four stories-The Solitary Cyclist, the Beryl Coronet, the Engineer’s thumb, The Red-headed League.The main character named Sherlock Holmes, he is a detective.He is a cautious man, and has a strong observation.In all cases, we can find that most of them were figured out by his observation.He is also good at inferring, even through a petty thing, he can discover something immense.He solved a lot of difficult cases for others through his strict reasoning.After so a lot of difficult cases were settled by him, he is famous in England, so, if someone has troubles that polices can’t solve, they will turn to him.Accompanied him is a doctor called Watson who is acted as a secretary of Holmes.He is not a very intelligent man, but he is willing to listen to Holmes’s word, so, he helped Holmes a lot.The novel is written by Mr.Watson,who is the first person tells us these stories.So it makes us thought that the book is a novel composed of many real stories.That shows the intelligence of the author of this book-Conan Doyle-the father of Holmes.We gotta say that Conan Doyle is really a master that he can make readers think these cases really occur.Arthur Conan Doyle, the son of Charles Doyle and Mary Foley, was born in Edinburgh on 22nd May 1859.His father was an alcoholic and the family was always short of money.At school, Arthur developed a strong interest in the books written by Sir Walter Scott and Edgar Allan Poe.He studied at Edinburgh University and helped to fund his course by working as a surgeon on Hope.The following year he worked on Mayumba, a paenger ship bound for West Africa.On this voyage Conan Doyle nearly died of typhoid.On his return, Conan Doyle set up as a doctor in Southsea, a suburb of Portsmouth.With very few patients, Conan Doyle attempted to make money by writing detective stories.His main character, Sherlock Holmes, was based on Dr.Joseph Bell, a surgeon and criminal psychologist, who lectured at Edinburgh infirmary.In 1819 Conan Doyle published six Sherlock Holmes stories in the strand magazine.The following year he was paid 1,000 for a whole series on Sherlock Holmes.Conan Doyle really wanted to write historical novels like his hero, Sir Walter Scott, and in 1893 decided to kill off Sherlock Holmes in the story.However, after suffuring from considerable preure from his fans, he returned to write his best known detective story The Hound of the Baskervilles.Arthur Conan Doyle was died in 1934.The Solitary Cyclist is a tragedy related to a female bicyclist.One day she came to Holmes’ home, said that she was followed by a stranger and asked Holmes helped her.At first, Holmes didn’t pay attention to it.But after his investigation, he found the truth and save the woman from the villain.The Beryl Coronet is about a father wronged his son of stealing his jewels.But the fact is that his son is the one who protect it and the real thief is his niece who trusts most.The Engineer’s Thumb tells us a story of a hydraulic engineer cheated by a colonel who is a real one steal money.He found the something strange by chance and is cut the thumb.With the help of Holmes, the police found that place, but unfortunately those guys have escaped.The Red-headed League writes a red-headed person happened to a lucky job that he can do nothing in four hours but gain 200dollors a year.But after two month he found the league disappeared.Actually, it is a fraud.It’s about a robbery, but is seen through by Holmes.These entire four stories are similar in a respect that is because of the observation that these cases can be worked out.I thought the reason why this novel is so succeful is that the cases in it are very changeful.They can always go beyond our mind.Sometimes the case gets stuck in some troubles, and we thought the leading character will have nothing to do, but then it will get out of it.Sometimes we consider that the case will develop in the way which we imagine, but it happened in the opposite way.One of the brilliant aspects is that it is hard for us to judge who is the real bad person, what’s more funny is that the person who we gue is the bad person because of misunderstanding, and is the real good man who sacrifices himself for protecting something.All these sides show the superb the skill of the author and meanwhile, they become the charm of the novel.As far as I am concerned nothing is more admirable and surprising in the hero Sherlock Holmes than his profound knowledge which has certainly aisted him a lot when he was studying the case.According his stories, he has studied different kinds of newspaper, cigarettes, people’s footprints and other special things as well.Therefore, he seems to have the mastery of anything relevant to the cases he deals with.Expect for his brilliant knowledge, Holmes also specializes in arranging the facts in order and then finding the fact leading him to a great discovery or even the truth itself.From his speaking “Even mystery has an answer” we can readily shape the impreion of a man with great intelligence and inflexible will.In this case, after getting rid of unrelated facts Sherlock Holmes eventually grasped the clue and discovered the amazing fact.
