I enjoy reading books very much and most of all I like the book of Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle.
The main characters of the stories are a brilliant detective Sherlock Holmes, who can solve the most complicated cases, and his loyal friend Doctor John Watson. Sherlock Holmes always pays attention to every detail and can expose the craftiest criminals.
My favourite story is entitled “A Scandal in Bohemia”. In this story the King of Bohemia visited Sherlock Holmes under an assumed name. He told Sherlock that some years ago he had had an affair with an opera singer Irene Adler. The King was going to get married to a Scandinavian princess and he was afraid that Irene, who had compromising letters and photographs, could send them to his fiancée’s family. So he wanted Sherlock to get them for him.
Finally, using disguise, Holmes got into Irene’s house and figured out where the photographs were hidden. But when he wanted to get them, the photographs were not in place. There was a letter from Irene and her photograph. She unveiled his plans, but she promised not to use the photographs and letters against the King. So the famous detective was beaten by the clever woman.
Мне нравится читать книги. Больше всего я люблю книгу с рассказами о Шерлоке Холмсе Артура Конан Дойля.
Главные герои рассказов – Шерлок Холмс, выдающийся сыщик, который может раскрывать самые сложные дела, и его верный друг доктор Джон Ватсон. Шерлок Холмс всегда обращает внимание на мельчайшие детали и может разоблачить самых коварных и изобретательных преступников.
Мой любимый рассказ называется "Скандал в Богемии". В начале рассказа Шерлока Холмса посетил король Богемии под вымышленным именем. Он рассказал Шерлоку, что несколько лет назад у него был роман с оперной певицей Ирен Адлер. Король собирался жениться на скандинавской принцессе, и он боялся, что Ирен, у которой остались компрометирующие письма и фотографии, может отправить их семье его невесты. Поэтому он попросил Шерлока достать их для него.
В конце концов, используя маскировку, Холмс сумел попасть в дом Ирен и выяснил, где были спрятаны фотографии. Когда Шерлок пришел вновь, чтобы забрать их, фотографий не было на месте – там лежало письмо от Ирен и ее фотография. Она раскрыла планы Холмса, но обещала не использовать фотографии и письма против короля. Так умная женщина превзошла знаменитого сыщика.
