Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Los clientes extraordinarios de Sherlock Holmes Ocho genios reales. Ocho enigmas imposibles. Un solo detective capaz de descifrarlos. Baker Street, finales del siglo XIX. Mientras Europa se transforma a una velocidad que nadie sabe aún cómo nombrar, ocho de las mentes más brillantes de su tiempo cruzan, una tras otra, el umbral de Sherlock Holmes, cada uno con un misterio que solo él podía resolver. Julio Verne, perseguido por cartas anónimas que amenazan con anticipar su propia ficción antes de que el mundo esté preparado para ella. Emilia Pardo Bazán, con un mensaje cifrado en un encaje gallego que llevará a Holmes hasta Gaudí, Sorolla y Ramón y Cajal. Richard Wagner, convencido de que una sociedad secreta pretende apropiarse del Grial de su Parsifal para sus propios fines. Claude Monet, cuyo pincel capturó, sin saberlo, la hora exacta de un asesinato. Georges Méliès, cuya cámara ha filmado un crimen que nunca ocurrió tal como parece. Guglielmo Marconi y Paul Nipkow, cuyos inventos alguien ha convertido en el arma perfecta para estar en dos lugares a la vez. Peter Carl Fabergé, cuyo huevo imperial esconde, tras tres pruebas imposibles, un tratado capaz de desatar una guerra. Y, cerrando la colección, un anciano Otto von Bismarck que quizás engaña al propio Holmes tanto como a media Europa. En cada caso, atrapar al culpable no basta: hace falta comprender la mente del genio que trae el misterio consigo. El arte, la ciencia y la diplomacia de una época que cambió el mundo para siempre se convierten aquí en arma del crimen, en clave del enigma y, en más de una ocasión, en la propia víctima. Con la ambientación minuciosa y el respeto histórico de quien ha investigado cada detalle, y el ingenio deductivo fiel al canon que hizo célebre a Arthur Conan Doyle, Los casos extraordinarios de Sherlock Holmes reconstruye ocho aventuras que Conan Doyle nunca llegó a escribir, pero que su detective, sin duda, habría reconocido como dignas de Baker Street. Ocho genios. Ocho enigmas. Una sola lupa capaz de leerlos a todos.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Eight Apocryphal AdventuresSome clients cannot go to the police. Their names are too famous.In the spring of 1889 a French novelist crosses the Channel to Baker Street. Someone has been quoting, word for word, from a manuscript he has shown to nobody - a manuscript describing a weapon that does not yet exist.He is the first of eight.Over the next twenty years, Sherlock Holmes will receive the strangest client list of his career: a composer whose unfinished masterpiece is being used to blackmail him; a Spanish countess carrying a lace handkerchief that turns out to be a coded message; a painter whose obsession with a single hour of light can hang a murderer; a French conjuror accused by a moving picture that shows him committing a crime he did not commit; a jeweller whose gift to a queen will destroy itself if opened wrongly; and an old statesman who crosses Europe in disguise, because the secret he has lost could set the continent on fire.None of them can call in Scotland Yard. The scandal would do more damage than the crime.Dr. Watson kept these eight narratives back for a lifetime, and for good reason. They are published here for the first time.Mystery, adventure, and great deductions in the traditional manner. These are not ironic reinventions or revisionist takes on the legend. They are written the way the cases were written in the Strand: a client with an impossible problem, a detail nobody else has seen, and a chain of reasoning that holds to the final line. The fog, the hansom cabs, the tobacco ash, the lens - and a Holmes who, more than once, meets a mind the equal of his own. This item is printed on demand.
