The Hound of the Baskervilles, written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and published in 1902, is one of the most famous novels featuring the detective Sherlock Holmes and his loyal companion, Dr. John Watson. Set against the eerie backdrop of the Devonshire moors, the story was serialized in The Strand Magazine from August 1901 to April 1902, captivating readers with its blend of mystery, gothic horror, and rational deduction. Inspired by local legends of spectral hounds and the rugged Dartmoor landscape, Conan Doyle crafted a tale that revived Holmes after his apparent death in "The Final Problem," responding to public demand for the detective’s return. The novel explores themes of superstition versus reason, as Holmes unravels the truth behind the Baskerville family curse and a supposed demonic hound, cementing its status as a classic in detective fiction.
