In The Casebook, you can read the final twelve stories that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about his brilliant detective. They are perhaps the most unusual and the darkest that he penned.

Dartmoor. A wild, wet place in the south-west of England. A place where it is easy to get lost, and to fall into the soft green earth which can pull the strongest man down to his death. A man is running for his life. Behind him comes an enormous dog - a dog from his worst dreams, a dog from hell. Between him and a terrible death stands only one person - the greatest detective of all time, Sherlock Holmes.

Il nome di Conrad è indissolubilmente legato al mare. In numerosi romanzi e racconti, infatti, lo scrittore ha trasferito, rievocandole e trasfigurandole col soffio del mito, le sue avventure di vagabondo degli oceani, e in particolare delle rotte orientali. Questo volume riunisce, oltre a Il negro del Narciso (1897) e a Tifone (1903) – tra i più celebri romanzi brevi di Conrad – Un colpo di fortuna e Freya delle Sette Isole , entrambi del 1912, storie di mare nelle quali compaiono due singolari personaggi femminili. In queste pagine il magico mondo del mare è descritto in tutti i suoi aspetti: l’ostilità e la furia degli elementi, l’esistenza dura degli equipaggi, gli uomini e le donne che popolano i porti, le coste, le navi, i sogni e gli incubi dei marinai.
