Akishi Kogoro investigations

Number of pages: 121 pages Publisher: Al-Zilal Publications Author: Aidoogawa Rambou Taro Hirai, also known as Eidoogawa Rambou, derived his name from the famous American writer Edgar Allan Poe, as well as his great love for writing detective stories and investigations. This is clearly seen in his repeated mention of many of his stories and other Western detective works here and there. Rambou did not stop at Poe's love and translation of his works and his readings of foreign investigative stories, but he created one of the most famous and most skilled Japanese detective characters, long before Detective Conan appeared. We are talking here about Gōgōru Akishi, a character inspired by the works of Arthur Conan Doyle and his most famous character, Sherlock Holmes. In these three stories, we will explore the beginnings of Gōgōru, who, before his fame as a handsome private detective and master of disguise, was a simple young man with messy hair, wearing traditional Japanese clothing, living in a room cluttered with investigative notes, yet he displayed astonishing skill in uncovering some strange crimes, sometimes supernatural. He was accompanied by his friend, whose narration the book's events are told from. In this work, we explore the early days of the young genius and how he solved some of the most difficult cases with remarkable ease and unique brilliance, which made his first encounter with the notorious Black Glove gang one of the most exciting Japanese detective series of all time.
