Produktbeschreibung
Sherlock Holmes is one of the most beloved fictional detectives that has graced English literature, and we have Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to thank for it. Doyle began enchanting readers with Sherlock Holmes' deductive skills and crime fighting abilities in the late 1800s and early 1900s and has remained popular to this day. Holmes has appeared in numerous film adaptations and plays. Sometimes, unfortunately, over time, liberties are taken with the story. This edition is a reprint of one of the earliest available editions (1892); it was originally published in 1886. No 'liberties' have been taken with this text. Enjoy "A Study in Scarlet", the novel in which Doyle first introduced the world to the amazing Sherlock Holmes and his loyal companion, Dr. Watson, just as Doyle wrote it.
Autorenporträt
Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859 - 1930) was a British writer best known for his detective fiction featuring the character Sherlock Holmes. Originally a physician, in 1887 he published A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels about Holmes and Dr. Watson. In addition, Doyle wrote over fifty short stories featuring the famous detective. The Sherlock Holmes stories are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction. Doyle was a prolific writer; his non-Sherlockian works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement", helped to popularize the mystery of the Mary Celeste.
