| Book Description | Sir arthur ignatius conan doyle kstj dl (22 may 1859 - 7 july 1930) was a british writer, who created the character sherlock holmes. Originally a physician, in 1887 he published a study in scarlet, the first of four novels and more than fifty short stories about holmes and dr. Watson. The sherlock holmes stories are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction. Doyle was a prolific writer; other than holmes stories, his works include fantasy and science fiction stories about professor challenger and humorous stories about the napoleonic soldier brigadier gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction and historical novels. One of doyle's early short stories, "j. Habakuk jephson's statement", helped to popularise the mystery of the mary celeste. Doyle struggled to find a publisher for his work. His first work featuring sherlock holmes and dr. Watson, a study in scarlet, was written in 3 weeks when he was 27 and taken by ward lock & co on 20 november 1886, giving doyle £25 (£2700 today) for all rights to the story. The piece appeared one year later in the beeton's christmas annual and received good reviews in the scotsman and the glasgow herald. ... In 1903, doyle published his first holmes short story in ten years, "the adventure of the empty house", in which it was explained that only moriarty had fallen, but since holmes had other dangerous enemies--especially colonel sebastian moran--he had arranged to also be perceived as dead. Holmes was ultimately featured in a total of 56 short stories--the last published in 1927--and four novels by doyle, and has since appeared in many novels and stories by other authors. ... From 1888 to 1906, doyle wrote seven historical novels, which he and many critics regarded as his best work. He also authored nine other novels, and later in his career (1912-29) five narratives, two of novel length, featuring the irascible scientist professor challenger. The challenger stories include what is probably his best-known work after the holmes oeuvre, the lost world. His historical novels include sir nigel and its follow-up the white company, set in the middle ages. He was a prolific author of short stories, including two collections set in napoleonic times featuring the french character brigadier gerard. ... (wikipedia.Org) |
