About the author
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a British writer best known for his creation of the iconic detective Sherlock Holmes. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Doyle initially pursued a medical career, graduating from the University of Edinburgh Medical School. Writing, however, was his true passion, and he authored numerous novels, short stories, poems, and essays. Sherlock Holmes, Doyle’s most famous character, first appeared in ‘A Study in Scarlet’ in 1887, capturing the imagination of readers with his unparalleled deductive reasoning and astute observation skills. Doyle’s writing extended beyond detective fiction, as he ventured into historical novels, science fiction, plays, romance, and non-fiction. His interest in spiritualism and the occult was profound, particularly later in his life, leading to several works on the topic, including ‘The History of Spiritualism’ and ‘Pheneas Speaks’. ‘Arthur Conan Doyle: Esoteric Writings’ offers insights into Doyle’s lesser-known spiritual and mystical explorations, diverging from his rational Sherlockian narratives. Doyle’s literary style is characterized by its lucidity, measured pacing, and intricate plotting. While best remembered for his contributions to the mystery genre, his broader canon displays remarkable versatility, reflecting a life dedicated to the pursuit and communication of knowledge across diverse fields.
