COMPLETE STORY

ul besoin de présenter Sherlock Holmes, le plus illustre des détectives de l’époque victorienne ! Pour les habitants du Londres des Quatre de NBaker Street , Sherlock Holmes est une légende vivante.

Holmes ne se définit pas comme un simple détective privé, mais comme un détective conseil (ou, dans la langue d’Arthur Conan Doyle : consulting detective ), c’est-à-dire comme un spécialiste que ses clients viennent consulter et qui est libre d’accepter ou de refuser l’affaire qu’ils lui soumettent, ainsi que de fixer ses propres conditions. Même si l’exercice de sa profession lui permet apparemment de vivre fort conforta- blement, Holmes n’est pas motivé par l’appât du gain, mais bien par « l’amour de l’art » ; ce ne sont pas les affaires les plus rentables qui l’intéressent, mais celles qui, par leur caractère extraordinaire ou improbable, présentent un défi à la mesure de ses prodigieuses facultés.

Héros victorien par excellence, Holmes possède toutes les caractéristiques du génie excentrique. Génie, parce que son esprit d’analyse proprement phénoménal lui a permis de hisser le métier de détective au rang de véritable science. Mais c’est surtout par son sens de l’observation qu’il stupéfie ceux qui viennent lui demander son aide au 221b Baker Street : combien de fois a-t-il déduit le métier, les habitudes ou même le passé d’un client en étudiant sa tenue vestimentaire, sa démarche ou tel détail apparemment anodin de sa physionomie ? Pour Sherlock Holmes, l’observation est un art et la déduction est une science. Criminologue averti et chimiste accompli, Holmes est également un des pionniers de ce que l’on n’appelle pas encore l’analyse de scène de crime. Oubliez les « mentalistes » et autres « experts » : Sherlock Holmes reste le roi des détectives !

Excentrique, Holmes l’est certainement, par son comporte- ment souvent surprenant, voire cavalier, avec ses semblables (à commencer par ce brave docteur Watson), ses humeurs changeantes pouvant le faire passer de l’enthousiasme fréné- tique à la déprime profonde, mais aussi par ses hobbies aussi ondres et Sherlock Holmes : ces deux noms évoquent à eux seuls des images de rues noyées dans le brouillard, variés que l’étude du violon, des différentes sortes de tabacs ou à peine éclairées par la lueur des becs de gaz – des rues où rôdent le mystère, le crime et le danger… Mais le des techniques de lutte orientale. Et que penser d’un homme L Londres de l’ère victorienne est aussi la capitale d’un empire, une métropole pleine de vie, de bruit et d’activité, qui, pour passer le temps, s’amuse à écrire « V R » (initiales avec ses théâtres, ses parcs, ses crieurs de journaux, ses omnibus tirés par des chevaux et, déjà, son métro souterrain. de « Victoria Regina », c’est-à-dire la reine Victoria) sur le mur Dans les années 1890, à l’époque des aventures de Billy, Black Tom et Charlie (sans oublier le matou Watson !), Londres, de son appartement… à coups de balles de pistolet ? qui compte déjà plus de 4 millions d’habitants, est tout simplement la plus grande ville du monde… 4 9
