He was a successful writer whose works include science fiction stories, plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction and historical novels.Conan Doyle is famous because of his stories about Sherlock Holmes. The famous Japanese comic Detective Conan uses the name of his. Many stories of Holmes’ had been recomposed into movies and TV series, just like BBC’s Sherlock. As you can see, Holmes is famous, that make Conan Doyle very famous too.A summary of The Hound of the BaskervillesDr. Mortimer tells Sherlock Holmes and Watson the legend about the Hound of the Baskervilles. A hundred years ago, a very large hound was seen on lonely Dart moor. It was standing over the dead bodies of the evil Hugo Baskerville, and a young girl.Now, Sir Charles Baskerville, who had a weak heart, has died.Dr. Mortimer tells Holmes that he saw the footprints of a large dog near the body. Holmes think Sir Charles was frightened by something on the moor, and that he died running away from it. Sir Henry Baskerville, Sir Charles’s heir, tells Holmes that he has been sent a mysterious letter saying “if you value your life, keep away from the moor.” He also has an old boot stolen.Watson travels to Baskerville Hall with Sir Henry and Dr. Mortimer. A soldier tells them a murderer has escaped from prison, and is probably hiding on the moor. Watson meets Stapleton. He has a beautiful sister who, thinking Watson is Sir Henry; warm him to leave at once. When Sir Henry meets Miss Stapleton, he likes her very much. Her brother is strangely displeased about this. Barrymore and his wife, servants at Baskerville Hall, admit to Sir Henry that they are feeding the escaped prisoner, Selden, because he is the brother of Mrs. Barrymore. Laura Lyons had arranged to meet Sir Charles in Yew Alley the night he died. She is in love with Stapleton, who persuaded her not to go.Laura’s father, Mr. Frankland, tells Watson he has seen a boy taking food to someone on the moor. Watson finds the hut where the man is staying – it is Holmes! He tells Watson that Stapleton’s sister is really is wife, and that Stapleton is theenemy. They hear a cry; Selden has been killed by a hound. It thought Selden was Sir Henry, because he was wearing Sir Henry’s old clothes.The hound recognized their smell from the boot Stapleton has stolen.Holmes realized that Stapleton is the next heir to the Baskerville fortune, and plans to trap him. Laura Lyons, hearing that Stapleton is married, tells Holmes that Stapleton made her arrange to meet Sir Charles near the moor on the night of his death.The detective Lestrade arrives. He Holmes and Watson see a large, fierce hound, with blue phosphorous flames, attack Sir Henry on the moor. Holmes shoots it. Stapleton dies falling into a bog-hole. Holmes explains that Stapleton used the legend of the Hound of the Baskervilles to scare Sir Charles to death. He then tried to kill Sir Henry, so that he could claim the Baskerville fortune. He was really the son of Sir Rodger Baskerville.The writing background of The Hound of the Baskervilles The Hound of the Baskervilles was written and published in 1901 and 1902. It was said by the Conan Doyle that he wasinfluenced by the Frey Robinson’s China West.Characters analysis of The Hound of the Baskervilles Shylock Holmes is created by the novelist Conan Doyle's detective, GM has now become the world's best detectives were synonymous! He not only cool-headed Holmes, keen observation, reasoning ability and also no one can. (In addition, he's also very clever fencing) he usually leisurely pace in Baker Street, 211, the B room, Smoking Bucket awaiting commissioned by the door. But once received the case, he would immediately become a dog chasing a wolf, began locking the target and the entire incident boils, layers of filtration, until the final truth!Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, which first appeared in publication in 1887. He is the creation of Scottish-born author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A brilliant London-based consulting detective, Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess, and is renowned for his skillful use of "deductive reasoning" while using adductive reasoning (inference to the best explanation) and astute observation to solve difficult cases.Conan Doyle wrote four novels and fifty-six short storiesthat featured Holmes. All but four stories are narrated by Holmes's friend and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson; two are narrated by Sherlock Holmes himself, and two others are written in the third person. The first two stories, short novels, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual for 1887 and Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in 1890, respectively. The character grew tremendously in popularity with the beginning of the first series of short stories in The Strand Magazine in 1891; further series of short stories and two serialised novels appeared until 1927. The stories cover a period from around 1878 up to 1907, with a final case in 1914.Conan Doyle, when asked if there was a real Sherlock Holmes, always maintained that Holmes was inspired by Dr. Joseph Bell, for whom Doyle had worked as a clerk at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. Like Sherlock Holmes, Bell was noted for drawing large conclusions from the smallest observations. Dr. Bell was also interested in crime and assisted the police in solving a few cases.In my opinion, Holmes is famous not only because his abilities in solving cases, also because he is like a real man, a man with thoughts and motions. We believe that he really lives in 221B, Baker Street. Holmes is the best detective to us.My opinions about The Hound of the BaskervillesI like this book very much. There are some reasons.First, I like Holmes’s stories very much. I also very admire his calmness, smart and super ability of logical reasoning.Second, the author wrote this story very well. When I’m reading, I’m feeling I’m at Baskerville Hall or Dart moor with Holmes and Watson. And I really feel thrilled.Third, also the very important one, I like reading very much, which can broaden our horizon and enlarge our knowledge. As for detective stories, they are always logical and beautiful. Therefore I enjoy them very much.ConclusionDuring my reading, I enjoy the story very much. Also, I learned many useful grammar points and expressions. Some sentences are also very interesting. And, I’ve learned a little bit of Sherlock Holmes’s ability. I don’t hope I can get the right answer to the case, but I think calm and thinking are very important during dealing with problems. We can use them not only in solving cases but in every where. Hope everybody be calm and hope everyone lead a happy life!。

巴斯克维尔的猎犬福尔摩斯找线索的英语作文In the misty landscape of the Dartmoor moorlands, a mysterious legend looms large. It is the tale of the Hound of the Baskervilles, a spectral beast that curses the Baskerville family, dooming them to a grisly fate. When Sir Henry Baskerville inherits the family estate, he finds himself at the center of a centuries-old nightmare. But he is not alone in this nightmare. Enter Sherlock Holmes, the renowned detective with a keen eye for detail and an unparalleled deductive mind.Holmes's investigation into the Baskerville curse begins with a careful analysis of the family history. He delves into the archives, piecing together shreds of evidence that might explain the strange occurrences. His attention to detail is extraordinary, as he picks apart every clue, every rumor, and every piece of folklore surrounding the hound. Holmes's investigation is not just a quest for the truth, but also a dance with danger, as he finds himself face to face with the supernatural forcesthat seem to haunt the Baskerville estate.As the investigation progresses, Holmes employs his trademark deductive reasoning to unmask the secrets of the moor. He reads between the lines, interprets signs, and decodes messages, piecing together a puzzle that leads him deeper into the heart of the mystery. His logic is impeccable, his deductions startlingly accurate, and his courage unwavering in the face of the unknown.But the hunt for the Hound of the Baskervilles is not without its obstacles. There are those who would prefer the truth to remain buried, and they are willing to use any means necessary to silence Holmes. The stakes are raised as Holmes and his trusted companion, Dr. Watson, find themselves chased through the dark and misty moors, hunted by an unseen enemy and a supernatural force that seems to prey on their very sanity.In the end, Holmes's relentless pursuit of the truth leads him to a revelation that shatters the very foundation of the Baskerville curse. The Hound of the Baskervilles is not a spectral beast, but a product of human malice and deceit. The truth, once revealed, sets Sir Henry free fromthe shackles of the curse, and brings peace to the moorlands once again.Holmes's victory is not just a triumph of reason over superstition, but also a testament to the power of perseverance and the value of truth. His investigation into the Baskerville curse is a masterclass in deductive reasoning and a reminder that, in the face of the unknown,it is our courage and determination that will guide us tothe truth.**巴斯克维尔的猎犬:福尔摩斯寻找线索的冒险**在达特茅斯荒原的迷雾中,一个神秘的传说悄然弥漫。
TheHoundofTheBaskervilles巴斯克维尔猎犬Baskerville HallDartmoor13 October 1889My Dear Holmes,I wrote and told you about Baskerville Hall and the people who live here. Now I have more facts to tell you. First, I will draw a map of the area. It will help you to understand my story.Baskerville Hall is about two miles south-west of Grimpen Village. I walk to the village to post letters.There are trees all round the Hall and a long avenue1 leads to a small summer-house in the garden. Sir Charles Baskerville died near the summer-house. I have marked the gate on the map. It is where Sir Charles stood and smoked a cigar. The gate opens onto the moor.I have told you about the neighbours. Dr Mortimer lives nearby, about half-way between the villages of Grimpen and Coombe Tracey.I have met the Stapletons. Their house is about three miles from the Hall. It is on the other side of High Tor.There is one man I have not met. But Dr Mortimer has told me about him. His name is Mr Frankland and he lives at Lafter Hall. He has a large telescope and is interested in astronomy2. He uses his telescope to look at the stars.In the past few days, he has not looked at the stars. He has looked at the moor. He is watching the moor because the police have not caught the murderer, Selden. Mr Frankland watches the moor looking for strangers. But I do not think that Selden is hiding on the moor. There is no food and the weather is now very cold.Sir Henry is worried about the Stapletons. He thinks that the murderer may break into their house. He has visited Miss Stapleton several times and they have become good friends. But Mr Stapleton is a strange man. He does not like Sir Henry visiting his sister.Now, here is some news about Barrymore, the servant at Baskerville Hall. He looks like the man we saw in the carriage in London. You remember the man who followed Sir Henry and Dr Mortimer to Baker Street. I told Sir Henry what I thought and he called Barrymore and asked him, “Have you been to London recently ?”Barrymore says he has never been to Lon don in his life! Also, Sir Henry’s question made him angry. He said he wanted to leave Baskerville Hall.Sir Henry said he was sorry. He gave Barrymore some clothes and Barrymore was pleased. Barrymore and his wife thanked Sir Henry very much for the clothes.Then, last night, I saw something very strange. In the middle of the night I heard footsteps and I looked out of my bedroom door. I saw Barrymore with a candle. I saw him walk to the end of the corridor. He stopped at the large window which looks out over the moor. He held the candle to the window and moved it backwards and forwards.I went to the window of my own room and looked out across the moor. I saw a light moving backwards and forwards. It was somewhere near High Tor and it was clearly a signal3. But a signal for what?Dr Watson's Second ReportBaskerville HallDartmoor15 October 1889My Dear Holmes,I am now able to answer the question at the end of my last letter. I know why Barrymore signalled with a candle.First, let me tell you about Sir Henry and Miss Stapleton. I told you that they are very friendly. I have found out that Sir Henry is in love with her. The truth is he wants to marry her.Yesterday morning he said to me, “I am going to see Miss Stapleton. I want to go alone.”“But Mr Holmes told me to stay with you,” I said. “You must not go across the moor on your own.”“I shall go alone,” said Sir Henry, and he went out.I did not know what to do. I waited for ten minutes, then I decided to follow him. I did not see everything, but this is what happened.Sir Henry met Miss Stapleton on the moor. He asked her to marry him—he told me this afterwards. They walked towards Merripit House to see Mr Stapleton. They met him outside the house. Sir Henry told Stapleton the news.I reached High Tor before Sir Henry met Stapleton, so I saw what happened next. I saw Sir Henry talking to Stapleton. Suddenly Stapleton became wild and angry. He shouted at Sir Henry. Then he took his sister’s hand and pulled her towards Merripit House.Sir Henry turned away and walked back towards the Hall. He saw me by High Tor. He was not angry that I had followed him.“Watson,” he said, “that man is mad. I told him that I want to marry his sister. He shouted at me. He told me never to see her again. I think he is mad.”I said nothing and we walked back to the Hall. That afternoon, Stapleton came to the Hall. He wanted to speak to Sir Henry. He kept saying, “I am sorry. I was very rude.” Then he invited Sir Henry to dinner at Merripit House on Friday night.Now I will tell you the story of Barrymore. I told Sir Henry that I had seen Barrymore signal with a candle. Sir Henry said, “We will wait for him tonight. If he signals again, we will catch him.”Sir Henry and I did not go to bed. We sat waiting in Sir Henry’s study until two o’clock in the morning. Then we heard footsteps outside the study. We listened. The footsteps went upstairs.Sir Henry and I waited for two more minutes. Then we opened the door quietly, and went upstairs. We saw Barrymore by the large window at the end of the corridor4. He had a candle in his hand and he was waving the candle in front of the window.“What are you doing, Barrymore?” Sir Henry shouted.Barrymore almost dropped the candle. He looked frightened. “Nothing, Sir Henry,” he said. “I’m checking the window, that’s all.”“You are signalling to someone on the moor,” said Sir Henry. “Who is outside? Tell me!”“No one, sir,” said Barrymore.“Tell me,” said Sir Henry, “or you shall leave this house tomorrow. Tell me now!”“Sir Henry,” said another voice, “please don’t be angry with my husband. It is my fault.”We turned and saw Mrs Barrymore. She was standing at the top of the stairs, holding her hands tightly together. “My brother is outside, sir,” she said. “My b rother is Selden, the man who escaped from prison.”“Selden —the murderer?” I said. “And why do you signal to him at night?”“My husband takes him food and clothes,” said Mrs Barrymore. “We signal to tell him my husband is coming.”“I understand,” said Sir Henry. “He is your brother; you must try to help him. Go to your room. We will talk about this in the morning.”The Barrymores left the room.Sir Henry turned and spoke to me. “I am sorry for them, but Selden is a murderer. I must try to c atch him.”“Look!” I said. “Look out of the window. There is a light on the moor.”Sir Henry looked. A small light was shining on the moor. It was near High Tor.“That’s him!” said Sir Henry. “Come, Dr Watson, we will go to that light. Bring y our revolver5.”We put on our coats quickly and went out onto the moor. The moon was bright and so we could see the path across the moor. Also, we could see the signal light. It was about a mile away.“There!” said Sir Henry. “Selden is there. Hurry!”I followed Sir Henry along the path across the moor. I was worried. I did not want Sir Henry to go far on the moor at night.At that moment, we heard a strange sound. It was a deep howling sound. It came from some distance away.“What’s that?” asked Sir Henry. There was fear in his voice.I was afraid too. “It sounds like a dog,” I said. “It sounds like a very large dog. Shall we run back?”“No,” said Sir Henry. “We are nearly there. Look!”In front of us, we saw the signal light clearly. It came from a lamp which stood on a rock. Beside the rock was a man, but the man did not see us. He was looking in the other direction.Again we heard that deep howling sound—the sound of a huge dog. The sound was much nearer now. We heard the sound again. It was coming nearer all the time! The man by the rock heard the sound as well. He picked up the lantern and jumped on the rock. He looked one way, then the other. Suddenly he jumped off the rock and started to run.He ran towards High Tor. He was running away from us. But he was not running away because he saw us. He was running away from something else which we could not see.“Quick, Dr Watson, follow him!” shouted Sir Henry. “Get your revolver ready.”We ran along the narrow path. Near us, we heard the deep howling sound. It was very near and very loud. Then we heard a scream. We stopped.“Be careful, Dr Watson,” said Sir Henry. “Let us go forward slowly.”The night was silent. We walked forward slowly. There was something, or someone, lying near the bottom of the Tor. We went over to it. I held my revolver in front of me.We found the body of a man at the foot of the Tor.The man had fallen from the rocky hill. He was dead. His neck was broken.We were sure that the man w as Selden. He was dressed in Sir Henry’s old clothes—the clothes that Sir Henry had given to Barrymore.I have one last strange thing to tell you, Holmes. I looked up at the Tor from which Selden had fallen. Up above, at the top of the Tor, stood a tall, thin man. I saw him only for a moment. Then he disappeared into the night. But I know I have seen him before. I will search for this strange man who walks on the moor at night.—to be continued1.avenue n.林荫道2.astronomy n.天文学3.signal n./v.(发)信号4.corridor n.走廊5.revolver n.左轮手枪。
