This will be a truly unique edition: all the works of the cycle have been re-translated by Lyudmila Brilova and Sergei Sukharev — masters whose translations by Kazuo Ishiguro and Ray Bradbury, Francis Scott Fitzgerald and Charles Palliser, Thomas De Quincey, Herman Melville and others have long become classic. At the same time, many additional materials are included in each volume: prefaces to early publications, the memoirs of Conan Doyle concerning certain works, some interviews of the writer. Plus, each volume is provided with extensive commentary and richly illustrated with the best classic drawings.
