| Summary |
"Baskervillen koira" by Arthur Conan Doyle is a detective novel written in the late 19th century. This classic story follows the famous sleuth Sherlock Holmes and his friend Dr. John Watson as they investigate the mysterious death of Sir Charles Baskerville and the legend of a supernatural hound that haunts the Baskerville family. The plot is a blend of mystery and gothic horror, as the duo seeks to unravel the truth behind the ominous legend threatening the life of Sir Charles's heir, Sir Henry Baskerville. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in their Baker Street residence, where Watson is examining a forgotten walking stick belonging to Dr. James Mortimer, who soon arrives seeking Holmes's help. Mortimer reveals that he was a close friend of Sir Charles Baskerville, who died under mysterious circumstances. He shares a manuscript concerning the horrific tale of a ghostly hound associated with the Baskerville lineage, leading Holmes to deduce key details about the deceased and the situation at hand. The intrigue deepens as Mortimer presents a threatening letter that Sir Henry Baskerville received, warning him to stay away from the moors, setting the stage for a thrilling adventure filled with supernatural elements and intense investigation.
