This time Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr. Watson are asked by the Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard to solve the bizarre murder of a member of the Dangerous Sports Club ...



*** How to summarize this excellent volume 2 of Barral and Veys, which connects the pearls satirical, offensive remarks, even iconoclasts? It seems very few that difficult to describe in simple sentences originality, humor of this comic, which remains without doubt one of the most brilliant pastiches and smarter than we could have done on the subject Holmesian.

Again, the detective seemed in complete inability to solve cases, Dr. Watson is threatening to leave the apartment 221b, Ms. Hudson always seems much concerned about the contents of bottles of whiskey, and Lestrade, head stuck in a helmet because of an allergy to kiwifruit, seems to determine cause a heart attack at Holmes in a deep depression ...

As you will understand, this is a silly survey (but ultimately not that much ...), where you regale your eyes to a box where you laugh to tears to dialogues terribly ironic and spicy, that bully for our greatest pleasure the two most eminent of Victorian literature ... !

A new version of My Fair Lady in 2010!

It is now confirmed, after many rumors started on the net: Joe Wright will head the new adaptation of My Fair Lady, based on the play by George Bernard Shaw!

Personally, I can not but rejoice at such news, as a reminder, Joe Wright is the director of the magnificent Pride & Prejudice in 2005, and that of Atonment 2008, based on the novel by Ian McEwan.

The cast, Keira Knightley, fetish actress has been confirmed to reprise the role of Eliza Doolittle, played in 1964 by the beautiful Audrey Hepburn .

For the role of the "terrifying" linguist Henry Higgins, formerly played by Rex Harrison , no actor has so far been confirmed. Two names appear to stand out: those of Hugh Laurie and Daniel Craig.

It is worth mentioning that this adaptation is indeed the musical and not part of Shaw's original, which is unfortunate because the lumber totally self-sufficient to itself ...

Wait & see ... !


EDIT 12/11/2009: Joe Wright has recently denied his participation in the implementation of the new adaptation of My Fair Lady ...

Sarah Englewood, young English woman newly arrived in Paris, is hired as governess for Simon Bloomberg, a strange psychiatrist residing in the Rue Mazarine. Making use of revolutionary methods, the physician is widely disputed by his colleagues, who consider his theories senseless and dangerous.
The house in the Rue Mazarine, in which Sarah now lives, to the maze fanciful architecture, has on the young woman who is both a fascination and extreme disorder. It also seems that Bloomberg's wife has been missing for weeks without a trace.
This event says it itself the strange behavior of alienation?
***
Purchased at random from the fine collection of the Great Detective 10-18, the mortuary turns out to be a thriller with an excellent bill. This first novel in the series of alienation (no relation to that of Caleb Carr), is a marvel of suspense, intrigue intelligent and original, which keeps the reader spellbound from first to the last line.
The characters are extremely well constructed, the police inspector disillusioned young English governess to the character pretty well soaked, through the strange jeopardizes the psychiatrist.
charismatic character, disturbing, haunted by demons that the reader fears will arise at any time, it deumeure alone and beyond the plot, one of the great enigmas this first volume. Doctor controversial, as was Freud's character which no doubt inspired in large part, Bloomberg alternates moments of kindness, abatement or numbness that leaves the reader full of questions and anxiety.
The atmosphere of this novel is distinguished not only by the influence of this labyrinthine house on its inhabitants, but also by the inhabitants themselves, who gradually begin to wonder if they will not have a similar fate patients to Bloomberg, which oscillate dangerously between psychoticism and schizophrenia.
The mere presence of the character of Sarah Englewood happily gives a touch a little appeased and reasoned in this world so unstable ...
A disturbing novel and devilishly effective, which continues with Volume "The Hand of Glory" already published by 10-18.
Read!
