Isn’t it great to rewatch a film we love or reread one of our favorite books. I had a great time rereading the Hound of the Baskervilles(this time in Spanish). Growing up I always loved Sherlock Holmes. In fact, I wanted to be like him for a long time. This is obviously a naive childish point of view that only existed in me through me preteen and teenage years. For all his amazing deductive skills, Sherlock is a very flawed human being. Of course, this is generally an inescapable side affect of being human. But Sherlock has many flaws including drug addiction, disrespect for those he feels are less intelligent, and a general lack of emotional sympathy for other people(besides Watson of course). He is an excellent detective and for the most part a bright example of logical reasoning in stressful situations. Those are the qualities that I wish I could steal from him.
In this classic detective novel, Sherlock Holmes is tasked with the interesting case of Henry Baskerville who is taking up residence in his now deceased relative’s mansion that he just inherited. The country doctor contacts Holmes because he has doubts about the way Sir Charles Baskerville, Henry’s relative, died. There are signs of foul play that are inscrutable. Sir Charles died while outside at night, for some inexplicable reason, and a short distance away are the paw prints of a giant hound. It turns out that there is a legend about a Baskerville family curse related to a demon hound. Will Henry be able to outrun El Sabueso de los Baskerville?
