Infos

Memories and Adventures is Arthur Conan Doyle's sweeping, candid, and utterly captivating autobiography—a journey through the mind of a man who lived many lives beyond the page. In this expansive memoir, Doyle reflects not just on his literary triumphs, but on a kaleidoscope of extraordinary experiences: as a ship's surgeon on Arctic whalers, a physician, a war correspondent, a fervent spiritualist, and a knighted public figure. With the storytelling prowess that made Sherlock Holmes a legend, Doyle weaves tales of duels and séances, courtroom dramas and political debates, ghost hunts and colonial wars. Every chapter reveals a new facet of his restless intellect and indomitable spirit. Rich in reflection and packed with adventure, this is the rare autobiography that reads like a life-long adventure novel—only every word is true.

Autor

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a Scottish author, physician, and spiritualist best known for creating the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. Born in Edinburgh, he studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, where his storytelling talent began to emerge alongside his scientific education. Though initially practicing as a doctor, Doyle turned to writing to support himself, eventually achieving worldwide fame with the publication of A Study in Scarlet in 1887. Beyond detective fiction, he explored historical novels, science fiction, and supernatural themes, notably in the Professor Challenger series. A passionate advocate for justice, he was involved in several real-life legal investigations. In his later years, Doyle became deeply involved in spiritualism, dedicating much of his time and writings to life after death. His legacy endures as one of the most influential figures in literary history.
