Autorenporträt
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a British writer, physician, and creator of some of the most enduring characters in English literature. Best known as the mastermind behind Sherlock Holmes, Doyle revolutionized the detective fiction genre with his sharp-witted detective and intricate plots. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, he studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, where his professors, including Dr. Joseph Bell-known for his powers of observation-inspired the creation of Holmes. Beyond detective fiction, Conan Doyle was a versatile and prolific author who wrote historical novels, science fiction, adventure tales, plays, poetry, and nonfiction. Works such as The Lost World showcased his love for exploration and imagination, while Uncle Bernac and Micah Clarke demonstrated his skill in historical storytelling. In addition to his literary career, Doyle was active in public life, advocating for justice in legal cases and later becoming deeply involved in spiritualism. Knighted in 1902 for his services during the Boer War, Doyle remains a towering figure in literary history, celebrated for his vivid storytelling, memorable characters, and the lasting cultural impact of his works.
