Dolina Strachu. The Valley of Fear by Arthur Conan Doyle
4.0
“It is, I admit, mere imagination; but how often is imagination the mother of truth?”
Much like A Study in Scarlet, the first Sherlock Holmes adventure, The Valley of Fear has a Part 1 set in England and a Part 2 set in America. And, also just like Scarlet, the second half is a prologue to the first. It is a template that seems to work.
For weeks now I have immersed myself in Sir Arthur’s stories. I can’t say that he engages me the way a Nietzsche or a Chomsky would, but I’m finding myself inexplicably returning to 221B Baker Street again and again.
