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.
