La Aventura De La Casa Deshabitada

»The Adventure of the Empty House« is a short story by Arthur Conan Doyle, about the brilliant Victorian detective Sherlock Holmes. It was first published in 1903. SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE [1859-1930], was a Scottish physician and author, best known for his stories about the groundbreaking master detective Sherlock Holmes. Doyle wrote a total of 56 short stories and four novels about Sherlock Holmes and his constant companion Dr. Watson.

It can be imagined that my close intimacy with Sherlock Holmes had interested me deeply in crime, and that after his disappearance I never failed to read with care the various problems which came before the public. And I even attempted, more than once, for my own private satisfaction, to employ his methods in their solution, though with indifferent success. There was none, however, which appealed to me like this tragedy of Ronald Adair. As I read the evidence at the inquest, which led up to a verdict of willful murder against some person or persons unknown, I realized more clearly than I had ever done the loss which the community had sustained by the death of Sherlock Holmes.

Join world-famous detective Sherlock Holmes and his ever-loyal sidekick Dr. Watson as they embark on a daring adventure. The whole of London is shocked and baffled by the murder of Ronald Adair. It seems like an impossible crime! Can our sensational sleuth solve the mystery of how Adair was killed before the murderer strikes again? This thrilling tale has been retold and adapted with new illustrations, making it perfect for younger readers. Adapted by award-winning children's fiction author Alex Woolf, it will delight bright young things aged 7+.

La casa vacía, excelente relato de E.T.A Hoffman, pionero de la literatura gótica, fantástica y de misterio. Estos tres componentes son precisamente los que se mezclan a la perfección en este relato largo. Cuento de locura, un tema común de Hoffmann, pero en este caso se destaca lo bien tratada que está la atmósfera de misterio que envuelve la casa y los pocos datos que se dan para intentar entender lo que está pasando.

Watson gets the surprise of his life upon seeing a familiar face, coinciding with the seemingly motiveless murder of one Ronald Adair. What secrets does the empty house hold and who is the returning stranger who gives Watson such a shock? Expect exemplary detective work as always in this gripping story.

Fernando y Rafael son jóvenes estudiantes internados en un colegio cerca de un lago. Fernando es el más atrevido de los dos, y ha oído de una casa abandonada donde está escondido un tesoro. Su amigo Rafael es un poco tímido, y se ve sorprendido y se pone nervioso cuando Fernando le pide que lo acompañe a buscar el misterioso tesoro, con la promesa de darle la mitad de la riqueza que encuentren. El día de la aventura anuncian por toda la escuela que en la tarde van a dar un paseo. Este anuncio sorprende a todos pues a ninguno de los dos les gusta salir de la escuela ni tomar largas caminatas. Dos de los maestros, Antonio y Santiago, se miran sorprendidos, y sospechan que los jóvenes estudiantes están ocultando algo. También puede ser peligroso porque comienza a hacer viento y parece que se acerca una tormenta porque el cielo está lleno de nubes negras que se acercan rápidamente. Cuando llegan a la casa abandonada entran por una ventana, y son recibidos por ruidos raros y extrañas sombras oscuras que se mueven misteriosa y rápidamente de una habitación a otra. Esto les causa mucho miedo a los jóvenes, pero insisten en seguir buscando el tesoro escondido. ****************************************************** Fernando and Rafael are young students at a boarding school close to a lake. Fernando is the most daring of the two and has heard of an abandoned house with a hidden treasure. His friend Rafael is a little shy, and he looks surprised and nervous when Fernando asks him to go with him to look for the mysterious treasure, with the promise of one half of the wealth that they find. On the day of the adventure, they tell everyone at school that in the afternoon they are going for a walk. This announcement surprises everyone because the two boys don't like to leave school nor take long walks. Two of the teachers, Antonio, and Santiago, look surprised and suspect that the young students are hiding something. It can also be dangerous because it's getting windy, and a storm seems to be coming because the sky is full of dark clouds, and they are quickly approaching. When they arrive at the abandoned house, they sneak in through a window, and are welcomed by strange sounds and dark shadows that move mysteriously and rapidly from one room to another. This frightens the boys, but they insist and continue looking for the hidden treasure.
