A Book of All Times

——Thoughts given by Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son

Written in the first chapter of the book pride and prejudice is an extraordinary sentence of which even a person who has had only a brief look upon the book will not fail to receive a deep impression-It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.In terms of Sherlock Holmes, we’d better alter the sentence into “It is a fact universally accepted by readers throughout the world that an excellent book in possession of our famous detective Sherlock Holmes is undoubtedly a masterpiece of all times.” perhaps this is one of the most obvious explanations for the unrivaled popularity of “Holmes series” in the field of detective stories.Overwhelmed by the recommendations provided by my friends, I decided to take a look on this Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son originally published by Oxford University press.As a whole, this book is about a case concerning the Duke’s missing son.Arthur, the Duke’s son, was found out in a certain morning to have disappeared, accompanied with which was also the disappearance of the German teacher.The school master Dr.Huxtable then turned to the famous detective of the time Sherlock Holmes for help.Realizing how tough and important the case is, Holmes immediately made up his mind to accept the case and followed Dr.Huxtable back to Mackleton by train.Having formed a rough idea about the whole matter, Holmes probed into the case immediately and had a careful investigation of the entire area shortly after the arrival, during the process of which he discovered the body of the German teacher Heidegger.Finally, primarily due to his prominent ability as a detective, he managed to unravel the mystery and obtained the twelve thousand pounds promised by the Duke.Having once started reading this fiction, I was completely immersed in the mysterious story presented by the book.As the saying goes, “Well begun, half done”.At the beginning of the story, just like many other detective stories, the author gives us a brief description of the condition by the words of a client.However, unlike other ones, this story first delineates the client’s strange behavior at length to indicate the severity of the incident in order to attract the readers to continue reading it.As is known to all, vivid depiction is essential to detective stories since it can help the readers understand each figure’s characteristics and visualize the scenes, thus making the story more authentic and attractive.Therefore, trying to present a “real world” to his readership, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the original “Holmes series”, has skillfully arranged the plots of the whole story from the perspective of Dr.Watson, a character not so specialized in discovering the truth hidden behind the enigmatic happenings as Holmes but so loyal to Sherlock Homes as a friend that he always accompanies Holmes wherever he goes.In this way, he elaborately depicted every scene and character in the book, Apart from the special start, the ending of the whole story, being dramatic but reasonable, is certainly an outstanding one.After all, except the author himself, who knows that the Duke’s seemingly ordinary secretary is in fact the Duke’s bastard? In addition, who knows that the Duke actually has already been acquainted with the whole thing before Holmes solves this complicated problem? Yet, surprising as it is, this ending seems so natural that it fits all the plots of the story perfectly well.While enjoying this wonderful story, I could do nothing but admire the wonderful design of this masterpiece as well as the author’s gorgeous writing skill.Closing my eyes, I can even “see” the story happening just like watching a film.Not until then did I understand why the Japanese cartoon film Detective Conan used this “Conan” as the name of its hero.As far as I am concerned, nothing is more admirable and surprising in the hero Sherlock Homes than his profound knowledge which has certainly assisted him a lot when he was studying the case.Take the bicycle tyres for instance, Holmes actually is capable of recognizing 42 different varieties of bicycle tyres.What’s more, according to his other stories, Holmes has studied different kinds of newspapers, cigarettes, people’s footprints and other special things as well.Therefore, he seems to have the mastery of anything relevant to the cases he deals with.Except for his illimitable knowledge, Holmes also specializes in arranging the facts in order and then finding the fact leading him to a GREat discovery or even the truth itself.From his speaking “Every mystery has an answer”, we can readily shape the impression of a man with great intelligence and inflexible will.In this case, after getting rid of unrelated facts, Sherlock Homes eventually grasped the clue and discovered the amazing fact.Needless to say, as a world-renowned masterpiece, Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son has attracted and is still charming numerous readers from all corners of the world and people from all walks of life.The “Holmes series” has already set up a standard against which all the following detective fictions are measured.Sherlock Holmes, beyond all doubt, has become a name firmly rooted in people’s memories.Although Dr.Watson’s closing The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes in 1927 was a GREat pity to the readers, the discontinuance of the entire “Holmes series” may have actually added to the legendary stature of Sherlock Holmes.

Duke’s Son

Brief Introduction

Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son is also called Duke’s Son, which was written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,a English famous writer.The novel was originally published by Oxford University Press, Great Clarendon Street in 2002.But the book I read is published by Foreign Language And Research Press in the People’s Republic of China in 2003.The book I read has 66 pages.Main Contents

The story is about how Sherlock Holmes works on the mysterious cases.The writer wrote the story of Sherlock Holmes in his friend’s voice.His friend was named Watson.Duke of Holderness was one of the greatest and the richest men.But his family was not very happy.The Duchess didn’t live with Duke.She left Duke for Paris.However his son loved his mother and was very unhappy when his mother left.Because of this, the Duke sent him to Dr Huxtable’s school.But on the night of the 13th of May the young Arthur disappeared.The Duke was very worried.The Duke promised to offer five thousand pounds for the news of his son, and another one thousand pounds for the name of his kidnapper.Sherlock Holmes was a famous detective so they asked Holmes for help.Holmes and Watson went to Dr Huxtable’s school.At the same time they got the worse news that Heidgger, the German teacher was missing, too.Holmes began to ask something about the boy and the German teacher.At last he determined to go off to the north with Dr Huxtable to find some answers to this mystery.They arrived at Dr Huxtable’s famous school in the northern hills.They met the Duke.Holmes asked the Duke something about the case.Then at once Holmes began to work carefully to investigate the boy’s bedroom and the German teacher’s room.They looked at the ivy on the wall and they saw the footprints under the German teacher’s window.But they learned about nothing.Holmes and Watson analysised the case when Dr Huxtable brought the boy’s hat.Dr Huxtable said that he found it at north of Ragged Shaw,so they determined to walk north,across the moor.The next day they moved slowly across the moor, looking at every centimeter of mud.At last they found the track of a bicycle.After assisting the track of a bicycle Holmes knew the bicycle was not Heidgger’s.Then he found the right track.Suddenlythe track stopped.He found some blood.Following the blood, he found much blood.Behind a bush they saw a shoe and found a body.But they still couldn’t who is the Crime.Watson was a little discouraged.Holmes said every mystery had an answer.They found tyre again.However, the Palmer Tyre can tell them nothing more, so they must go back to the Dunlop Tyre.They found the Dunlop track again and lost it again.They walked down to the Chesterfiled road and along to the Green Man Inn.Holmes found something from Hayes’s words, behaviors and his horses when they arrived at Hayes’s house.They found James Wilder, the Duke’s secretary came into Hayes’s house and Hayes escaped.The next day the answers were obvious.Holmes was surprised about the answers.I was surprised, too.James was Duke’s elder son.James hated Duchess because she was not his mother.James hated Arthur because Arthur had everything that James never could have.And because of this, Duke sent Author to Dr Huxtable’s school.James asked Hayes for help to catch Arthur.James made the most of it that Arthur missed his mother.He cheated Arthur and let him go to the Green Man.When Arthur left the school, the German teacher found him.It was Hayes who killed him because Hayes let his deed out.All the mysteries were clear.Arthur and Duchess would return home.James was leaving for Australia.Sherlock Holmes got twelve thousand pounds and began to work the next case.The story was over.Excellent episodes

1.When visitors came to see Sherlock Holmes in Baker Street, they often did surprising things, Sometimes they put their heads in their hands and cried.Sometimes they talked and talked, and couldn’t stop.And sometimes they just sat there and didn’t say a word.But nobody was more surprising than Dr Huxtable.2.We moved slowly across the moor, looking at every centimeter of mud.We found

hundreds of sheep tracks,and some cow tracks—but no bicycle tracks.And then at last we found something.Not far form the little river,right across some nice black mud, was the track of a bicycle.3.Because the ride sits over the back wheel.The deeper track is the one on top, so this bicycle went that way, across the moor away from the school.But who was the rider? Where did he come from?

4.Heidegger died eight kilometers from the school.So the boy is moving very fast, because it is eight kilometers before a man on a bicycle can get near him.And Heidegger died because someone hit him very hard on the head.A boy can’t do that, so there was someone with the boy—a man,let’s say.5.When I was a young man, Mr Holmes, I was in love--oh, so much in love.It only happened to you once, and this woman was the love of my life.I wanted her to be my wife—but she died.She left me this one child, and I loved him because of her.When I look in his face, I see her, and remember her, and can’t stop loving her.I must have the boy near me because of this.But a government minister cannot tell the world about a love—child like this.So, to the world, James is my young secretary,not my son.Reflection

Reading this fiction, I was completely immersed in the mysterious story presented by the book.At the beginning of the story, author gives us a brief description of the client’s strange behavior at length in order to attract the readers to continue reading it.As it is known to all, clear description is necessary to detective stories since it can help the readers to understand each figure’s characteristics and all the cases, thus making the story more attractive.Watson was Sherlock Homes’s friend.And the novel was told to Watson’tone.Sherlock Homes was wise and clever.Watson was lucky to have so wise a friend.They have the valuable friendship.When Homes handled a case, Watson helped him much.I think Watson could learn much from Homes.I think if you have virtuous friends, we can improve ourselves, or we will change our good nature.So I envy Watson because he had so good and wise a friend.Sherlock Homes was not a real person.However, Sherlock Homes had became the representative of wisdom.We all envy Sherlock Homes because of his wisdom and high abilities.Whether the case was mysterious, Homes could found its answer.I like the words that Homes said.That was every mystery had its answer.Right!So when we have puzzles, we shouldn't give up.Maybe Sherlock Homes was every one.I think every one has the right to become a wise and clever man.Nothing is more admirable and surprising in the hero, Sherlock Homes, than his illimited knowledge which has certainly helped him a lot when he was studying the case.For instance,taking the bicycle tyers, Holmes actually is able to recognize 42 different varieties of bicycle tyers.What’s more, according to his other stories, Holmes has studied different kinds of newspapers,cigarettes, people’s footprints and other special things as well.So he seemed to know anything of everything.From the incident that Sherlock Homes study with his illimited knowledge, we understand we should learn about something extracurricular.And maybe we can be knowledgeable like Sherlock Homes.本文版权归曼界森英书下载网及英文小说网共同所有
