Translator's Note

The sad revenge of a man who lost his beloved lover
Holmes' scientific and delicate reasoning that penetrates the process is intertwined!

During the Victorian era in England, Arthur Conan Doyle's 'Sherlock Holmes' caused quite a stir.
Published in 1887, A Study in Scarlet is the first novel to introduce Sherlock Holmes to the public, and it holds great significance for fans as it marks the first meeting between Holmes and Watson.

This book, written from Watson's perspective, is largely divided into two parts.
Part 1 unfolds in the present.
Watson and Holmes meet for the first time, and they settle down at 221B Baker Street.
Soon, the two are commissioned by a detective to investigate a murder scene, and Holmes meticulously piece together the clues he has gathered to successfully apprehend the culprit.
Part 2 moves from a flashback to the present.
The "Great Religious Migration" of the American West in 1847 and the story of a criminal's revenge from 1860 to 1881 are intertwined with murder cases like warp and weft.
At the end, two stories that seemed completely different become closely connected, which naturally evokes a sense of wonder.

Why is the work titled "A Study in Scarlet"? It's a story about a bloody murder, as Holmes describes it: "The red thread of murder tangled in the colorless skein of life."
This work meticulously explores human psychology, such as the sins lurking within those who act like true believers and the vengeful desire that clings to the hearts of those who have lost a lover, gradually increasing the emotional level, and delivering a refreshing experience with Sherlock Holmes' scientific investigative methods and uncluttered reasoning.

A beautiful edition that will thrill the hearts of Korean readers!
The story of a genius detective who solves cases using logical reasoning and the power of observation.

This edition of Junior Kim Young-sa's book contains over 60 beautiful paintings by Vincent Malier.
Large and small pictures that blend in with the text, sometimes in black and white and sometimes in color, help readers immerse themselves.
It's also quite fun to look at the little cuts of mice that appear every time you turn the page.
In addition, we tried to be faithful to the original text, but we also corrected awkward direct translations and unfamiliar expressions so that readers can read it without feeling awkward.

In 1881, when the story begins, Sherlock Holmes analyzes the case by combining various clues from the scene, such as the victim's clothing, belongings, shoe prints, carriage wheel tracks, and letters left in blood.
He is well-versed in everything from Latin knowledge and blood analysis methods to the types of poisons and tobacco ash, and he uses each ability in the right place at the right time.
He also has the cunning ability to hide some of the details of his reasoning until the case is solved, if necessary.
To those who say, "This is a complicated case, I can't figure it out," he asks, "Wouldn't that clue actually make the case simpler?" This may seem arrogant at first glance, but it's very charming.
Although he displays such a rational and cynical attitude, he also gets very excited when his reasoning does not match up and gets excited when he recalls a beautiful violin melody.
Arthur Conan Doyle spreads the human side of Holmes, who was thought to be perfect, throughout the story, thereby increasing the reader's intimacy with the protagonist.

The creative background of Doyle, who left his mark on the history of mystery novels.

In the previously published novel, "Arsène Lupin, the Gentleman Thief," the legendary detective 'Hullock Shoms', who is Lupin's rival, appears.
This is a brief example that acknowledges the status of Sherlock Holmes and shows just how much influence he had on readers and the literary world.

Arthur Conan Doyle, who wrote the Sherlock Holmes series with systematic and logical scientific knowledge and popular creative ability, was originally a medical student who also pursued writing.
When Doyle was in college, his teacher, Joseph Bell, had the ability to observe and infer others' occupations and accurately guess their occupations. This inspired Doyle to create the character of Sherlock Holmes.
Moreover, Sherlock Holmes's image of finding criminals based on observation and evidence fit with the atmosphere of the times that valued science, advanced engineering, and technology, and achieved great popularity.

Sherlock Holmes, the detective among detectives, has reached the pinnacle of admiration.
Those who love him have formed fandoms called 'Sherlockians' and 'Holmesians', and continue to elevate Sherlock Holmes to the level of the public's memory.
The great Sherlock Holmes, who spawned imitators such as 'Sherlock Combs' and 'Soller Ponds', is constantly loved as a 'vivid character' in books, movies, and dramas in addition to the original 60 novels.
Adding to this flow, Junior Kim Young-sa's "Sherlock Holmes: A Study in Scarlet" vividly conveys the atmosphere of 221B Baker Street with Professor Eun-mi Kwon's faithful translation based on the original text and the elaborate illustrations of Vincent Mallier.
This beautiful edition is a perfect balance of fun, fast-paced action, and logic, and will delight both returning Holmes fans and new readers experiencing the series for the first time.
