Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, who first appeared in publication in 1887. He is the creation of Scottish born author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A brilliant London-based detective, Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess, and is renowned for his skillful use of deductive reasoning (somewhat mistakenly – see inductive reasoning) and astute observation to solve difficult cases. He is arguably the most famous fictional detective.

Még mindig nagyon szeretem, de azért bőven voltak olyan részek, ahol sűrűn kellett emlékeztetnem magam, hogy ezek 100 éves szövegek és ne várjam el tőlük ugyanazt, mint egy kortárstól.
Másfél hónapig tartott, de minden percéért megérte. Sherlock Holmes egyszerűen zseniális. A kissé régies angol szöveg pedig szinte az elképzelhetetlenségig fokozza az élvezeteket. Külön boldogság számomra, hogy volt olyan rész, amit megfejtettem, mielőtt… azt nem mondhatom, hogy még Holmes előtt, mert az lehetetlen, de legalábbis azelőtt, hogy elárulta volna a megoldást.
A végén egyetlen dolog miatt volt rossz érzésem, az pedig az volt, hogy elolvastam az összes Holmes történetet. Mi lesz most velem? Kénytelen leszek felkutatni az elveszett novellákat, vagy a filmekhez fordulni vigasztalásért.

'My name is Sherlock Holmes. It is my business to know what other people don't know.'
The Blue Carbuncle
There are many men in London, you know, who, some from shyness, some from misanthropy, have no wish for the company of their fellows. Yet they are not averse to comfortable chairs and the latest periodicals. It is for the convenience of these that the Diogenes Club was started, and it now contains the most unsociable and unclubable men in town. No member is permitted to take the least notice of any other one. Save in the Stranger's Room, no talking is, under any circumstances, allowed, and three offences, if brought to the notice of the committee, render the talker liable to expulsion. My brother was one of the founders, and I have myself found it a very soothing atmosphere.
The Greek Interpreter
'Between ourselves, I think Mr Holmes has not quite got over his illness yet. He's been behaving very queerly, and he is very much excited.'
'I don't think you need alarm yourself,' said I. 'I have usually found that there was method in his madness.'
'Some folks might say there was madness in his method,' muttered the inspector.
The Reigate Squires
During my long and intimate acquaintance with Mr. Sherlock Holmes I had never heard him refer to his relations, and hardly ever to his own early life. This reticence upon his part had increased the somewhat inhuman effect which he produced upon me, until sometimes I found myself regarding him as an isolated phenomenon, a brain without a heart, as deficient in human sympathy as he was pre-eminent in intelligence. His aversion to women and his disinclination to form new friendships were both typical of his unemotional character, but not more so than his complete suppression of every reference to his own people. I had come to believe that he was an orphan with no relatives living, but one day, to my very great surprise, he began to talk to me about his brother.
The Greek Interpreter
A moment later the tall and portly form of Mycroft Holmes was ushered into the room. Heavily built and massive, there was a suggestion of uncouth physical inertia in the figure, but above this unwieldy frame there was perched a head so masterful in its brow, so alert in its steel-grey, deep-set eyes, so firm in its lips, and so subtle in its play of expression, that after the first glance one forgot the gross body and remembered only the dominant mind.
The Bruce-Partington Plans
'It is as if you met a tramcar coming down a country lane. Mycroft has his rails and he runs on them. His Pall Mall lodgings, the Diogenes Club, Whitehall – that is his cycle. Once, and only once, he has been here.'
The Bruce-Partington Plans
'Mycroft draws four hundred and fifty pounds a year, remains a subordinate, has no ambitions of any kind, will receive neither honour nor title, but remains the most indispensable man in the country.'
The Bruce-Partington Plans
