A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle
'Pon my word, Watson, you are coming along wonderfully. You have really done very well indeed. It is true that you have missed everything of importance, but you have hit upon the method, and you have a quick eye for colour. Never trust to general impressions, my boy, but concentrate yourself upon details.

Ma nouvelle #LectureDuMoment est un autre classique : Le chien des Baskerville de #ArthurConanDoyle
J'ai joué à plusieurs jeux #SherlockHolmes et vu plusieurs adaptations, mais je n'en avais jamais lu un seul. Après m'être lancé le #jeuvidéo Sherlock Holmes Chapter One, je me suis dit que c'était l'occasion.

In August 1901, The Strand Magazine began serialising The Hound of the Baskervilles — and circulation rose by some 30,000 copies a month, readers queuing for the next chapter of a spectral hound on Dartmoor. Doyle had killed Holmes in 1893; the public's patience had simply run out. Have you read the Case-Book as well?

A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle
My dear fellow, life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really mere commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs, and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the plannings, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chains of events, working through generations, and leading to the most outré results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.

Beyond the obvious facts that he has at some time done manual labor, that he takes snuff, that he is a Freemason, that he has been in China, and that he has done a considerable amount of writing lately, I can deduce nothing else.

Another weekend and another charity shop haul. Three more Arthur C Clarke books: "The Deep Range"; "Childhood's End"; and "The Fountains of Paradise". Also "The Man in the High Castle" by Phillip K Dick. Finally I picked up “The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes” by Arthur Conan Doyle. All in it cost me £11 which I think is pretty good going. #bookhaul #charityshop #arthurcclarke #philipkdick #arthurconandoyle #books #bookstodon

A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle
I know, my dear Watson, that you share my love of all that is bizarre and outside the conventions and humdrum routine of everyday life. You have shown your relish for it by the enthusiasm which has prompted you to chronicle, and, if you will excuse my saying so, somewhat to embellish so many of my own little adventures.

“You will remember that I remarked the other day, just before we went into the very simple problem presented by Miss Mary Sutherland, that for strange effects and extraordinary combinations we must go to life itself, which is always far more daring than any effort of the imagination.”
“A proposition which I took the liberty of doubting.”

A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle
“It is simplicity itself,” said [Holmes]; “my eyes tell me that on the inside of your left shoe, just where the firelight strikes it, the leather is scored by six almost parallel cuts. Obviously they have been caused by someone who has very carelessly scraped round the edges of the sole in order to remove crusted mud from it. Hence, you see, my double deduction that you had been out in vile weather, and that you had a particularly malignant boot-slitting specimen of the London slavey.
“As to your practice, if a gentleman walks into my rooms smelling of iodoform, with a black mark of nitrate of silver upon his right forefinger, and a bulge on the right side of his top-hat to show where he has secreted his stethoscope, I must be dull, indeed, if I do not pronounce him to be an active member of the medical profession.
I could not help laughing at the ease with which he explained his process of deduction. “When I hear you give your reasons,” I remarked, “the thing always appears to me to be so ridiculously simple that I could easily do it myself, though at each successive instance of your reasoning I am baffled until you explain your process. And yet I believe that my eyes are as good as yours.”Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) British writer and physician

Con entusiasmo, encargó análisis fotográficos y consultó expertos.
Cuando algunos especialistas señalaron que las hadas parecían figuras planas de cartón, Conan Doyle rechazó las críticas.Incluso llegó a argumentar que los espíritus podían adoptar formas reconocibles para quienes los contemplaban.
Según esta interpretación, las hadas aparecían con aspecto infantil porque así las imaginaban las niñas.Convencido de su autenticidad, publicó artículos en la revista *The Strand* y posteriormente escribió un libro completo titulado *El misterio de las hadas*, donde defendía el caso ante la opinión pública.
Las fotografías se hicieron famosas en todo el mundo.
Miles de personas creyeron en ellas.
Y mientras tanto, las dos niñas observaban cómo una pequeña mentira infantil se transformaba en un fenómeno internacional imposible de detener.
Pero la historia todavía guarda otro personaje extraordinario.
Harry Houdini.
La amistad entre Conan Doyle y Houdini es una de las más curiosas del siglo XX porque ambos admiraban profundamente al otro, pero mantenían opiniones radicalmente opuestas sobre lo sobrenatural.
Houdini era el ilusionista más famoso del mundo.
Pasaba su vida creando engaños visuales imposibles sobre los escenarios.
Precisamente por eso sabía mejor que nadie hasta qué punto los sentidos pueden ser engañados.
Mientras Conan Doyle buscaba pruebas de fenómenos paranormales, Houdini dedicaba gran parte de su tiempo libre a desenmascarar médiums fraudulentos que se aprovechaban del dolor de las familias en duelo.
Cuando conoció las fotografías de Cottingley, comprendió casi inmediatamente que algo no encajaba.
Las hadas parecían figuras recortadas.
Las poses eran rígidas.
La composición resultaba artificial.
Para un hombre acostumbrado a construir ilusiones todos los días, el truco era relativamente evidente.
Houdini intentó advertir a su amigo con tacto.
No quería verlo expuesto al ridículo.
Sin embargo, Conan Doyle estaba demasiado comprometido emocionalmente con la historia para aceptar aquellas críticas.
La situación fue deteriorando la relación entre ambos.
Con el tiempo, la amistad terminó rompiéndose.
Lo más curioso es que Conan Doyle llegó a creer que Houdini poseía auténticos poderes sobrenaturales y que se negaba a reconocerlos públicamente.
Incluso sospechaba que utilizaba capacidades ocultas que él mismo no quería admitir.Houdini, que llevaba años intentando demostrar precisamente lo contrario, quedó desesperado ante semejante conclusión.
La ruptura fue inevitable.
Y así nació una de las mayores ironías de la historia cultural moderna.
El hombre que inventó a Sherlock Holmes, símbolo universal de la lógica y el pensamiento crítico, fue engañado por dos niñas armadas con tijeras, cartulina y unos simples alfileres de sombrero.
Mientras tanto, el hombre cuya profesión consistía en engañar al público sobre un escenario fue quien defendió la explicación racional.
Pasaron las décadas.
Las fotografías siguieron alimentando debates y teorías.
Finalmente, a comienzos de los años ochenta, cuando ya eran ancianas, Elsie y Frances decidieron contar la verdad.
Confirmaron que las hadas habían sido recortadas de ilustraciones infantiles, dibujadas sobre cartulina y colocadas cuidadosamente frente a la cámara.
Elsie fue especialmente sincera.
Reconoció el engaño con detalle y admitió que nunca imaginó que aquella travesura llegaría tan lejos.Sin embargo, incluso entonces permaneció una pequeña sombra de misterio.
Frances continuó afirmando que, aunque las fotografías fueran falsas, ella sí había visto hadas reales cuando era niña junto al arroyo.
Los análisis posteriores concluyeron que también la última fotografía estaba manipulada, pero Frances jamás abandonó completamente aquella creencia.
Elsie Wright murió en 1988.
Frances Griffiths falleció en 1989.
Con ellas desaparecieron las dos protagonistas del caso, pero no la fascinación que sigue despertando su historia.
Porque las hadas de Cottingley nunca trataron realmente sobre hadas.
Trataron sobre la esperanza.
Sobre la imaginación.
Sobre el deseo de encontrar belleza en un mundo que acababa de sufrir una guerra devastadora.
Y sobre una verdad incómoda que sigue siendo válida hoy: a veces las personas no creen aquello que demuestra la evidencia, sino aquello que necesitan creer.
Quizá por eso este viejo engaño continúa cautivándonos más de cien años después.
No porque las hadas existieran.
Sino porque nos recuerda hasta qué punto la frontera entre la ilusión y la realidad puede llegar a ser sorprendentemente frágil.

A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle
To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions, and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise but admirably balanced mind. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himself in a false position. He never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer. They were admirable things for the observer — excellent for drawing the veil from men’s motives and actions. But for the trained reasoner to admit such intrusions into his own delicate and finely adjusted temperament was to introduce a distracting factor which might throw a doubt upon all his mental results. Grit in a sensitive instrument, or a crack in one of his own high-power lenses, would not be more disturbing than a strong emotion in a nature such as his. And yet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory.
Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) British writer and physician
Story (1891-07), “A Scandal in Bohemia,” ch. 1, The Strand Magazine, Vol. 2, No. 1More about this quote: wist.info/doyle-arthur-conan/8…
