Об авторе
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), a Scottish physician and prolific writer, is best remembered for his creation of the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. Graduating from the University of Edinburgh Medical School in 1881, he initially struggled to balance his medical career with his passion for writing. It was in 1887 that Conan Doyle introduced Sherlock Holmes in ‘A Study in Scarlet, ‘ which was followed by a series of novels and short stories featuring the iconic detective and his loyal friend Dr. John Watson. ‘The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, ‘ often cited as the final collection in the Sherlock Holmes series, showcases Doyle’s talent for weaving intricate plots and his knack for mystery and suspense. The ‘Complete Edition’ assembles these compelling tales and reflects the evolution of Holmes’s character over the years of Conan Doyle’s writing. Doyle’s work goes beyond detective fiction, encompassing historical novels, science fiction, plays, and poetry, yet it is his indelible contribution to the mystery genre for which he is most celebrated. His storytelling prowess and the profound impact of his characters have left an enduring legacy on literature and popular culture, inspiring countless adaptations and reinterpretations. An ardent advocate of spiritualism later in life, Doyle’s literary style is marked by a relentless curiosity and a fascination with the unknown, both on Earth and beyond.
