The Hound of the Baskervilles is the third of the four crime novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring the detective Sherlock Holmes. Originally serialised in The Strand Magazine from August 1901 to April 1902, it is set largely on Dartmoor in Devon in England's West Country and tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome, diabolical hound of supernatural origin. Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. Watson investigate the case. This was the first appearance of Holmes since his apparent death in "The Final Problem", and the success of The Hound of the Baskervilles led to the character's eventual revival. 《巴斯克维尔猎犬》是阿瑟·柯南·道尔爵士以侦探夏洛克·福尔摩斯为主角的四部犯罪小说中的第三部。它最初于1901年8月至1902年4月在《斯特兰德杂志》上连载,主要以英格兰西部德文郡的达特穆尔为背景,告诉了一个谋杀未遂的故事,灵感来自一只可怕的、邪恶的、起源于超自然的猎犬的传说。夏洛克·福尔摩斯和他的同伴华生医生正在调查此案。这是福尔摩斯在《最后的问题》中去世后的首次亮相,《巴斯克维尔猎犬》的成功使这个角色最终复活。
