The Hound of the Baskervilles

"The Hound of the Baskervilles" is one of Conan Doyle’s best works. It strikes with its integrity. At first, everything unclear is perceived as mysticism. But in the end, mysticism is laid out on the shelves, and a logical chain of events appears.

The story takes place at the Baskerville family estate, located by the moors. As befits an ancient estate, it must have a history. The legend says that at night, on the moors, a terrible ghostly dog appears—hunting members of the Baskerville family. Unfortunately, this frightening legend is realized once—yet the story does not end there. The case is taken up by Sherlock Holmes with his faithful companion Doctor Watson. Using the deductive method, the world’s best detective finds out that if there is mysticism, then it must be needed by someone…

A special feature of this book is that until a certain moment the author convinces the reader of the mystic nature of what is happening by building the plot accordingly. Then these mystical decorations are gradually removed, and the reader with delight observes that for Sherlock Holmes there is nothing impossible.
