Autor

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a prolific British writer and physician, renowned for his detective fiction, particularly the Sherlock Holmes series, which has had a lasting impact on the mystery genre. Doyle's literary career spanned genres, including historical novels, science fiction, plays, romances, poetry, and non-fiction, showcasing his multifaceted talent and broad interests. His creation of Holmes, the archetypal detective accompanied by Dr. John Watson, in works such as 'A Study in Scarlet' and 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes', established standards for deductive reasoning and forensic science in narrative fiction. Doyle attended Edinburgh University, where he studied medicine and first started writing. Although his early works were only moderately successful, his creation of Sherlock Holmes in 1887 gained him widespread acclaim. Doyle was a keen advocate of spiritualism and wrote extensively on the subject later in his life, a contrast to his famously rational detective character. Doyle was knighted for his contributions to literature and his work in the Boer War. 'The Complete Works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle' provides a comprehensive collection of his writings, demonstrating his ingenuity and timeless appeal. His influence extends beyond literature into the realms of law enforcement and popular culture, making him one of the most celebrated authors of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
