《舍洛克福尔摩斯和公爵的儿子》英文读后感
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 XXX 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.
