O autorze
Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a British writer primarily known for creating the enduring detective character, Sherlock Holmes. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Doyle was initially educated at Hodder Place, Stonyhurst in Lancashire, and later at Stonyhurst College. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh Medical School, where he began his writing career by penning short stories. Though his literary repertoire includes historical novels, romances, poetry, and non-fiction, Doyle’s name is most closely associated with his detective fiction. His works on Sherlock Holmes have cemented his position as one of the leaders of the crime genre and have gained critical acclaim for their intricate plotting, memorable characters, and logical deduction. 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes’ and 'The Hound of the Baskervilles’ are among his most celebrated works. Doyle’s foray into supernatural fiction is exemplified in 'The Parasite’ (1894), a novella exploring themes of mesmerism and psychic manipulation, indicative of his abiding interest in spiritualism, particularly in his later years. Despite the shadow cast by Holmes, Doyle’s diverse contributions demonstrated his mastery across various literary forms and genres. His prolific career has not only entertained but also significantly influenced the crime and mystery genre.
