Autor

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a British writer famously known for creating the eminent fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. Born to a well-to-do Irish-Catholic family in Edinburgh, he studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh where he began crafting stories. Doyle's literary career was marked by a rich array of genres, but he achieved lasting fame with the introduction of Sherlock Holmes in 'A Study in Scarlet' (1887). This iconic character appeared in four novels and fifty-six short stories, later collated in publications such as 'The Case for Sherlock Holmes - Complete Collection'. Doyle's writing style was characterized by meticulous plotting, an acute eye for detail and the interplay of logical reasoning and forensic science which aptly complimented the brilliance of his detective protagonist. Aside from his Holmes series, Doyle was a prolific author, delving into historical novels, science fiction, plays, romance, and non-fiction. A man of broad interests and talents, Doyle was also actively involved in spiritualism and several legal cases, convictions, and reforms of his time. Despite his diverse literary contributions, it is the rational yet enigmatic Sherlock Holmes – the epitome of deductive reasoning - that immortalizes Doyle's deep influence on the detective fiction genre and literature as a whole.
