Der größte Detektiv aller Zeiten, das ist Sherlock Holmes! Gemeinsam mit seinem Freund Dr. Watson deckt er jeden noch so schweren Fall auf. Der Fluch der Baskervilles lastet auf Sir Hugo. Um nicht ebenfalls ein Opfer der schrecklichen Prophezeiungen zu werden, bittet er Sherlock Holmes um Hilfe. Die Spuren eines riesigen Hundes führen den Meisterdetektiv zu geheimnisvollen Machenschaften …Sherlock Holmes` berühmtester Fall!

A wickedly clever satire uses comic inversions to offer insights into human nature and society. It follows the four voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon. In Lilliput, he discovers a miniature world, towering over its inhabitants and observing their society from a god-like perspective. Conversely, in Brobdingnag, Gulliver becomes the curiosity, displayed in markets as a tiny man among giants. His journey continues to Laputa, a flying island where he encounters a society of speculators detached from reality, allowing their homeland to fall into disrepair while they obsess over impractical ideas. Finally, he reaches the land of the Houyhnhnms, gentle horses he admires, contrasting sharply with the Yahoos, filthy creatures resembling humans. Jonathan Swift (1667-1745), born in Dublin, crafted this enduring classic, which remains a profound exploration of the follies and vices of humanity through the lens of fantastical adventures.
