1) Because they are an excellent teaching tool. 2) Because doing so will help me to further polish my tools to produce parallel texts. 3) Because the more awesome-looking parallel texts I have to show, the more likely it is I can find someone that helps me to put my skills to some profitable use. :) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Of course :) I have a preliminary version of "A study in scarlet" here. For those obsessed with paper, I've prepared a PDF of the first two chapters. It is optimized for viewing on iRex DR1000S readers (printed area is 15.5 x 19cm, portrait, 2mm margins). Typo reports and comments on format, etc. are welcome.

With the recent success of the U.S. TV series "Elementary, with Johnny Lee Miller playing a modern day
Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu playing a female Dr. Watson: "Elementary" on YouTube And also the incredibly good BBC/PBS series "Sherlock, " where Benedict Cumberbatch plays an even more modern, very high-tech Sherlock Holmes: PBS Sherlock series on YouTube (Check out the reviews on Amazon), I'm bumping this old thread yet again, so that new HTLAL users can find out about the free online Spanish PDFs of ALL of the original Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock novels and short stories (see the first post in this thread). MrWarper, your parallel text of Study in Scarlet (link above) is fantastic, thanks. No, I don't know anything about the rights to the illustrations in The Strand. (Edit: After mrwarper's post following this one, I zapped Aidan Quinn in favor of Johnny Whatsisname, removed Warner Bros. and corrected to mrwarper's comments following this post) Edited by TerryW on 06 February 2014 at 11:07pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Actually Aidan Quinn and some black guy play the cops buzzing around Holmes (but not Lestrade, that's still a Brit that crosses the pond in some episode), Holmes is played by Jonny Whatshisname (the guy from Eli Stone). I haven't checked any of the series in detail yet, the idea of messing around with stories and rewriting them tends to put me off*. I saw a couple episodes of both and they're not nearly as bad as I have come to expect lately, though. I'll probably end up watching them for real. I have the movie with Downey Jr. pending too :) *A specially bad case is when something is totally rewritten and yet the 'authors' insist in keeping the names, as if they lack confidence in their product and want to succeed off the fame of the original. A counter example to that would be L&O: Criminal Intent, an excellent series standing on its own merits but heavily inspired in the Sherlock Holmes stories too. However, it's not so easy to realize if one is not paying some attention to it.
I'll warn you none of the brothers are known to partake in this forum ;)
The draft for the whole novel is still there, check it. The PDF, especially being partial, was more a proof-of-concept thing, so I eventually erased it. For those who really need that, we can discuss how to make PDFs from the HTML (online) versions I still intend to produce*, and/or why PDF is an afterthought of sorts. *When I get round to it / if someone is interested enough as to offer themselves to lend a hand and proofread, etc. BTW, don't you happen to know more about Strand Magazine and the copyright of the images used in the Spanish versions, by any chance?
