Read The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes in Englishwith every sentence explained

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle was first published in 1894. In Passage you read the full text in the original English, marked intermediate and filed under mystery and crime and thriller and suspense.

Step back into the world of 221B Baker Street.

Twelve classic cases show Sherlock Holmes at the height of his powers. A champion racehorse vanishes from its Dartmoor stable on the eve of a great race in "Silver Blaze." A strange old family rite holds the key to a missing butler in "The Musgrave Ritual." And in "The Greek Interpreter," Watson meets Holmes's even cleverer brother, Mycroft, for the first time. From the fog of London to quiet country houses, Holmes and the faithful Dr. Watson untangle webs of greed, revenge and buried guilt.

Along the way, Holmes recalls his very first case and comes face to face with his most formidable adversary: Professor Moriarty, the "Napoleon of crime," whose web stretches across all of London.

Published in 1893, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes holds some of the most celebrated stories in detective fiction, and one of the most famous endings Arthur Conan Doyle ever wrote.

Passage sets the book as a quiet, paginated reader in English. Read at your own pace, and when a sentence stops you, tap it. You get:

• a natural translation of that exact sentence,
• a short note on the grammar, in plain words,
• the key words, which you can save with the sentence they came from,
• all of it in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Turkish or Portuguese, whichever you read best.

It's marked intermediate: comfortable once everyday English feels familiar, with the harder sentences one tap away. The words you save come back later in short review games, so the book keeps teaching after you close it.
