The Stories about Sherlock Holmes

The book is organized on the principle of bilingualism: the works are published in the original language with a parallel translation into Russian. Three novellas about the adventures of Sherlock Holmes offer a new encounter with the famous private detective, his friend Dr. Watson, and the sly London policeman Lestrade. Holmes finds everything interesting: from a minor theft at the university to a sophisticatedly barbaric kidnapping and murder. Whatever the motive of the crime - revenge, greed, or unhappy love, it will be uncovered. And in this, the decisive role will be played by the sharp wit, observance, and the celebrated deductive method of Sherlock Holmes. Studying a foreign language by the method of parallel reading helps not only to expand the vocabulary but also to effectively work on mastering grammatical constructions and speech turns.
