About this audiobook
The Hound of the Baskervilles is Arthur Conan Doyle's third Sherlock Holmes novel, first published in 1901–1902. Set in Dartmoor, it follows Holmes and Watson investigating a legendary supernatural hound said to haunt the Baskerville family. The novel marked Holmes's return after his presumed death.
The story begins in 1889 when Dr. James Mortimer asks Holmes to look into the Baskerville family curse. The legend tells of Sir Hugo Baskerville, who was killed by a monstrous hound after kidnapping a farmer's daughter. Since then, the hound is believed to haunt the family, causing mysterious deaths. Holmes and Watson work to solve the mystery.
Arthur Conan Doyle wurde am 22.5.1859 in Edinburgh/Schottland geboren. Sein Vater stammte aus einer aristokratischen irischen Familie. Doyle studierte an der Universität Edinburgh Medizin. Um sein Studium finanzieren zu können, begann er 1879 mit der Schriftstellerei. 1885 wurde ihm der Doktortitel verliehen. Es ist naheliegend, das Doyle als praktischer Arzt und Mediziner in der fiktiven Figur des Doktor Watson sein Alter Ego erschuf.View all by Arthur Conan Doyle
