«La mòmia» is the horror short story collection by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, published by Laertes editorial in paperback (92 pages, in Catalan).
The book brings together two stories born from the interest that the discoveries of the Egypt Exploration Society aroused in Victorian society. In these tales, ancient Egypt becomes threatening: a mummy and a papyrus with hieroglyphs drag the characters into the supernatural. It is a sample of Conan Doyle's fantastic side, far from Sherlock Holmes.
Volume 26 of the L'Arcà collection; fourth edition, published in 1991. Julià Guillamon provides the translation and introductory study.
For readers of classic horror and short fiction interested in Conan Doyle beyond Sherlock Holmes.
Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a British writer and physician. He is best known for his four novels and fifty-six short stories about the fictional consulting detective Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson, which are milestones in crime fiction, and for his first work featuring Professor Challenger, The Lost World (1912), which gave its name to a subgenre of speculative fiction. He was a prolific writer who produced over 200 stories and articles, four volumes of poetry, and a number of works for the stage. He was knighted by King Edward VII in the 1902 Coronation Honours.
