Autorenporträt

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a prolific British writer, most famous for his creation of the legendary detective character, Sherlock Holmes. Born in Edinburgh, Doyle was educated at Stonyhurst College and later studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh. It was during his medical studies that he began writing short stories. Doyle's literary career was decisively influenced by his creation of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson, who first appeared in 'A Study in Scarlet' (1887). Holmes' adventures captivated Victorian audiences with their blend of deductive reasoning, forensic science, and the portrayal of the seedy underworld of London. His work spans across numerous novels and short stories collected in publications such as 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' and 'The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes', both of which contribute to the 'ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE Ultimate Collection'. Beyond Sherlock Holmes, Doyle wrote historical novels, science fiction, plays, poetry, and non-fiction-showing a versatility that enriched English literature. His advocacy for spiritualism and his work in defense of the wrongly accused are also noteworthy, demonstrating the breadth of his interests beyond literature. Conan Doyle was knighted in 1902 for his contributions to the Boer War literature, solidifying his position as a respected figure in British culture and literature.
