検索キーワード： "Arthur Conan Doyle" 文学・フィクション

Conan Doyle não foi apenas o criador do genial detetive Sherlock Holmes. Em Contos de piratas , ele deixa o cenário das ruas de Londres para embarcar na vida em alto-mar, povoada de piratas sanguinários e reais, e de capitães corajosos o suficiente para enfrentá-los. Contos de piratas foi lançado originalmente em 1922, e a coletânea reúne histórias editadas para as revistas de ficção e entretenimento da época. As histórias, narradas com um realismo quase jornalístico, são inspiradas em piratas de verdade e desmistificam o romantismo associado à pirataria pela arte e cultura ocidentais.

Holmes und Dr. Watson erhalten ein seltsam gereimtes Gedicht, indem von fünf Freunden berichtet wird. Der Verfasser schwört Rache zu nehmen, für die erlittenen Schmerzen, Schmach und Häme. Gleich darauf taucht das erste, auf grausame Weise, getötete Opfer auf. Nun gilt es für Holmes und Dr. Watson schnell die Identität zu klären, doch da erhalten die Beiden bereits das zweite Gedicht und somit auch das zweite Opfer. Die Zeit rennt, denn der Täter mordet in einem wahnsinnigen Tempo. Auch nach dem dritten Opfer fehlen Holmes und Watson jegliche Anhaltspunkte.

Nachdem Holmes und Watson das Rätsel um die Identität des ersten Opfers glücklicherweise rasch klären konnten, dauert es nicht lange und die beiden erhalten ein weiteres Gedicht. Anhand der Reime ist für Holmes schnell klar, wo der Mann zu finden sein wird. Doch kommen Sie auch hier zu spät! Holmes und Watson hoffen nun, schnellstmöglich eine Verbindung zwischen den Opfern herstellen zu können, um weitere Morde zu verhindern.

Während Holmes und Watson Himmel und Hölle in Bewegung setzen, um Alice noch rechtzeitig zu finden, sieht sie sich mit den tödlichen Schatten ihrer Vergangenheit konfrontiert.

Ein drittes Gedicht! Ein drittes Foto! Ein drittes Opfer! Die Zeit rennt und Holmes und Watson sind dem Täter noch nicht einen einzigen Schritt nähergekommen. Selbst die Identität der neuerlichen Leiche bleibt ungeklärt. Während die beiden in die Jahre gekommenen Männer beginnen, mit sich selbst zu hadern, ist der Mörder bereits seinem vierten und letzten Opfer auf der Spur.

Sherlock Holmes und Dr. Watson erhalten ein anonymes Schreiben. In dem Gedicht wird von fünf Freunden berichtet, die einander verrieten. Der Verfasser kündigt an, Rache zu nehmen. Mit der beigelegten Schwarzweißfotografie in Ihren Händen, beschließen Holmes und Watson Inspektor Wolfford aufzusuchen. Dieser kann es zuerst gar nicht richtig glauben. Der Mann auf dem Bild ist doch tatsächlich derselbe, der heute Morgen, direkt vor Scotland Yard, in einem geparkten Auto, tot aufgefunden wurde.

Ein vierter Brief erreicht die Baker Street. Mit zitternden Händen öffnet Watson den Umschlag. Ein Bild fällt zu Boden. Watson bückt sich, hebt es auf und erstarrt. Alice!
