Autoren-Porträt von Arthur Conan Doyle
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), the British author and creator of the iconic detective Sherlock Holmes, remains a towering figure in the field of crime and detective fiction. His astute protagonist and his loyal associate, Dr. John Watson, appear in a series of stories and novels that have captivated readers for generations. Born in Edinburgh, Conan Doyle was educated at Stonyhurst College and later studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh. It is through his medical education that he met Dr. Joseph Bell, whose deductive powers and keen observation skills were later attributed to Sherlock Holmes. In 1887, Conan Doyle introduced Holmes in 'A Study in Scarlet', which laid the foundation for a new genre of detective fiction. Doyle published many Holmes stories, with 'His Last Bow' (1917) being one of the later collections, which contains several stories set before World War I. It showcases Holmes in a variety of cases, and it is in this series that readers see some of his most masterful feats of deduction. The historical context of looming war adds a poignant edge to Holmes's adventures in 'His Last Bow', foreshadowing the end of an era. Conan Doyle's writing goes beyond Sherlock Holmes, including historical novels, science fiction, and plays. His works are celebrated for their narrative drive and vivid characterizations while exemplifying a classic British literary style. Conan Doyle was knighted in 1902, not primarily for his literary work, but for services rendered to the Crown during the Boer War. His multifaceted career and contributions to literature left an indelible mark on the literary world.
