Over de auteur
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a prolific British writer, best known for creating the iconic detective character, Sherlock Holmes. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Doyle pursued a medical degree at the University of Edinburgh where storytelling became his parallel passion. His medical career, however, took a backseat as his literary pursuits took flight with the introduction of Holmes in ‘A Study in Scarlet’ (1887). Doyle’s indelible contribution to detective fiction was further solidified through a series of novels and short stories, including ‘The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes’ and ‘The Hound of the Baskervilles, ‘ compiled in the ‘SHERLOCK HOLMES – Complete Collection: 64 Novels & Stories in One Volume’. His work transcended mere entertainment, influencing the burgeoning field of forensic science and the genre of detective fiction at large. Conan Doyle’s literary style was distinguished by its clarity, attention to detail, and clever intertwining of science and logical reasoning. Despite criticism for attempting to kill off Holmes, public demand prompted Doyle to resurrect the character, further testament to the detective’s enduring appeal. Doyle also experimented with historical novels, science fiction, and was a staunch advocate of Spiritualism in his later years. His knighthood in 1902, however, was attributed to his patriotic work ‘The Great Boer War’, rather than his contributions to literature. Today, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle remains a monumental figure in classic literature, and his cerebral detective, Sherlock Holmes, continues to captivate minds across the globe.
