Produktbeschreibung
British novelist Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is the author of the book The Mystery of Cloomber. The novel has a plot summary of the Pall Mall Gazette published it for the first time in 1888. John Fothergill West, a Scot, serves as the book's narrator. He and his family recently relocated from Edinburgh to Wigtownshire in order to manage the estate of William Farintosh, his father's half-brother. Cloomber Hall, which has been vacant for a long time, is located close to their home, Branksome. After some time, John Berthier Heatherstone, a former member of the Indian Army, moves in. General Heatherstone is extremely anxious and suspicious. When he is around, many reports hearing a peculiar sound that sounds like a bell tolling and that seems to make them feel very uneasy. Every year, around the fifth of October, his paranoia reaches its peak, following which his worries temporarily abate. Three Buddhist priests who had boarded the ship from Kurrachee are among the survivors of a shipwreck that occurs in the bay later. The chelas were ringing the astral bell to warn the general that no matter where he went, he would always come under their wrath.
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.
