เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a Scottish writer and physician, celebrated for creating the iconic detective Sherlock Holmes. Doyle’s distinguished oeuvre extends beyond the fog-laden streets of Victorian London portrayed in his Holmes series, to include historical novels, science fiction, plays, and non-fiction. Educated at Edinburgh University Medical School, Doyle embodied elements of his medical training and own deductive reasoning in the character of Holmes, who first appeared in ‘A Study in Scarlet’ (1887). The character’s popularity sparked a series that often overshadowed his other works. Notably, his ‘British Murder Mysteries – Boxed Set’ is a testament to Doyle’s mastery in weaving intricate mystery narratives. His literary style is often characterized by a meticulous attention to detail, a reflection of the scientific method and influences from his era’s investigative spirit. Doyle’s work has not only entertained but also shaped the mystery genre fundamentally, influencing generations of writers. Beyond literature, he was also noted for his advocacy of spiritualism and his campaign to reform the Congo. Knighted in 1902 for his service during the Second Boer War, Doyle’s impact on the literary world and beyond stands as a testament to his multifaceted talent and humanitarian efforts.
