The first thing I read was "A Study of Blood Characters". What impressed me most in my mind was not the logical reasoning told by my friends, but the rough style of the American West written by Conan Doyle, which made me yearn for it. After reading Four Signs, Four Difficult Symbols and A Mysterious Contract, Conan Doyle's storytelling skills are further embodied here. The hound of the Baskerville taught me what is weird and weird, and this one ranks first in the Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes. Uncanny valley is my four favorite novellas. In the second half of the story, conspiracy, love, betrayal and murder are integrated and intertwined. An undercurrent lurking under uncanny valley erupts in Edward's narrative, and the young people's mood is best expressed in the novel. Until now, I still remember my surprise and relief when Edward confessed.
Fifty-six short stories made Sherlock Holmes the first detective in the history of detective. In my opinion, Bohemian Scandal, Red Head Club, Five Orange Nuclei, Spotted Ribbon Case, Gloria Scott, Musgrave Ceremony, Dancer, Six Busts of Napoleon and Three College Students are all outstanding among them. The Red Hair Club is Conan Doyle's most satisfying short story. His novel is permeated with the writer's unique sense of humor, and his style is chic and calm. This is indeed an immortal masterpiece. The Bohemian scandal let us know that Sherlock Holmes did not win. Don't underestimate this episode, which is an important factor that makes Sherlock Holmes appear authentic in the eyes of readers. Five orange stones presents an incredible puzzle, and the strangeness of the mystery itself covers up the lack of ending. As a short secret room reasoning, The Spotted Tape Case not only has a qualified answer, but also has a tortuous plot and rich suspense. Gloria Scott, a three-legged novel, combines historical stories and reasoning plots in a short space, which is quite a legacy of "the study of blood characters". The Dancer imitates edgar allan poe's Scarab, which belongs to cryptographic reasoning, but its narrative skills and reading interest surpass those of its predecessors. The Rites of musgrave is a treasure-hunting work deeply loved by young readers, in which the writer's strong emotional factors are injected, and the portrayal of female images is unforgettable. Sherlock Holmes in the six busts of Napoleon finally showed his mortal side. He bowed to Lestrade and Watson, who sincerely admired him, in return for their applause. I will never forget this scene. "Three College Students" is pure, without unnecessary plot modification, and it is one of three choices, with sophisticated brushwork. Although it is a small theme, it can still firmly attract readers' attention. These colorful stories let me know what reading interest is, the theme and mystery of detective novels, and that not all books are as disgusting and boring as textbooks.
People grow up gradually and reread the complete works several times intermittently for several years. I was surprised to find that I always like the new and hate the old, but I still like this book as always. It may not have the fantasy in Christie's novels, the implication in Quinn's novels, or the romantic introversion in Chandler's novels, but it seems to have a unique charm beyond all beings. This charm seems puzzling: how can a genre novel describing fictional characters attract the attention of generations of readers all over the world; How is the Sherlock Holmes research around the world surging? How can Britain, a serious and stuffy country, issue commemorative stamps to mourn the death of the characters in the novel? How can people keep looking at Chang Xin and believe that the novel is just a biography that records the words and deeds of real people? I always think that this charm is not reflected in the traditional interest of mystery novels, such as the twists and turns of cases, the rigor of reasoning, the difficulty of puzzles and so on. , but a mystery.
Simply put, the most attractive thing about Sherlock Holmes' case lies in its typological form and the writer's efforts to break through the genre. Typing is an important way to make readers familiar with and like words. When we open the Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes, we will find that all the works have a similar beginning: the gloomy London sky, the warm wall fire in Block B, No.221Baker Street, what the detective is saying, and Watson, who is always immersed in surprise and admiration, is sitting next to him. At this time, an uninvited guest broke into the room and began to tell his troubles ... Conan Doyle built sixty novels with different short stories based on such a seemingly ordinary narrative mode. Relying on familiar situations can not only make readers devote themselves to the works as quickly as possible, but also create a sense of security for readers. This sense of security depends on the tacit understanding between the author and the reader, which is the key to our rapid acceptance and integration into the work. Conan Doyle's success is based on the rules of the game first. Of course, Conan Doyle is not a writer who blindly abides by the rules of the game. The highlight of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes lies in Conan Doyle's attempt to break the limitation of typology and make Sherlock Holmes have a lasting "hint" charm. In fact, when I recall the experience of reading Sherlock Holmes as a child, the first thing that comes to my mind are not wonderful cases, but vivid scenes: eccentric detectives, retired doctors who are loyal to detectives and dull-headed, their bickering, different views on the world and their deep friendship. This touching friendship runs through the investigation, which makes ordinary readers feel the lofty height of Sherlock Holmes on the one hand and the reality of this character on the other. Conan Doyle seldom described this friendship directly with pen and ink, but let it be reflected in seemingly casual small details, which is exactly what the master did. Friends who have seen "The New Detective Case" should never forget a touching description, which was the only time Conan Doyle asked his hero to take off his competitive mask:
Just then, he pulled out his pistol and fired two shots. I feel very hot on my thighs, just like a red-hot soldering iron sticking to it.
So is meat. Then, with a click, Holmes hit him in the head with a pistol. I saw his face bleeding on the ground, and Holmes was looking for his weapon. Then my friend put his strong arm around me and helped me sit in the chair.
"Didn't get hurt, Watson? My god, are you hurt? "
When I knew how deep the loyalty and friendship were behind this cold face, I felt hurt, even. It's worth getting hurt many times. His bright and determined eyes were moist, and his determined lips trembled. This is my only chance to see that he not only has a great mind, but also has a great heart. After so many years of humble and loyal service, I am very satisfied with this feeling.
"It doesn't matter. Holmes. Rub a little skin. "
He cut my pants with a knife.
"You're quite right," he cried soothingly. "It's epidermal damage." He turned to the deadpan prisoner who sat up deadpan. "You are very lucky. If you hurt Watson, you don't have to plan to leave this room alive. What else do you have to say? "
-three people have the same surname.
This is one of the most impressive plots in the complete works. Today, I still remember the deep warmth I felt when I first saw this passage. Conan Doyle expressed something that other novelists can't and don't want to express, and this is the mystery that Sherlock Holmes can be popular from generation to generation.
In recent years, I reread Sherlock Holmes, reading such a situation, an atmosphere and a feeling, rather than the logical reasoning and criminal psychology that critics value. At this time, Sherlock Holmes has been entangled in my nostalgia for childhood. The process of rereading is also a process of constantly realizing the passage of time, constantly pursuing childhood dreams, and constantly understanding the innocence and preciousness of one's past lives. Ten years ago, the little boy who hid under the covers and secretly read detective stories is gone, and those omnipotent fantasies have long since disappeared. All that's left is the fog in London, the warm fire in Block B of No.221,the noisy Baker Street squad, and the lonely detective and his loyal friends.
