Arthur Doyle

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle bol škótsky spisovateľ, ktorý sa preslávil poviedkami o Sherlockovi Holmesovi, a to aj v sérii Sherlock Holmes vyšetruje. Jeho ďalšie veľmi známe dielo je Stratený svet.

Narodil sa 22. mája 1859 ako druhý syn z desiatich detí Charlesa Altamonta a Mary Foley Doyleovej. V roku 1868 začal študovať na jezuitskej škole v Lancashire. Na Edinburgskej univerzite študoval medicínu, kde získal v roku 1885 titul doktor medicíny. Potom slúžil ako lodný lekár na plavbe k západnému africkému pobrežiu, po ktorej nasledovala v roku 1882 príprava lekárskej praxe v Plymouthe. Počas štúdia ho zaujali schopnosti jeho profesora Dr. Josepha Bella pri detailnej diagnóze pacientovho stavu. Toto majstrovstvo diagnostickej dedukcie sa stalo modelom pre jeho literárnu tvorbu. Jeho lekárska prax bola neúspešná, avšak pre čitateľov mala veľmi kladný vplyv. Začal sa venovať literatúre. Prvá zmienka o Sherlockovi Holmesovi je datovaná v roku 1887. Asi najznámejším dielom je Sherlock Holmes v knihe Pes baskervilský a známy Stratený svet - taktiež vo filmovej podobe.

Mal dve manželky - Louisu Hawkinsovú a potom Jean Leckieovú a dvakrát sa uchádzal i o parlamentné kreslo, ale napriek značnej podpore nebol nakoniec zvolený. Doyle bol vášnivým lyžiarom a predpovedal, že nastane doba, keď budú tisíce ľudí jazdiť do Švajčiarska lyžovať. V roku 1928 podnikol päťmesačnú cestu po Afrike. V roku 1902 bol povýšený do rytierskeho stavu, za jeho prácu v poľnej nemocnici v Bloemfonteine (Južná Afrika) a ďalšie služby počas Vojny v Južnej Afrike. Zomrel 7. júla 1930.

The White Company


A historical adventure set during the Hundred Years' War. The story follows a young man as he leaves the shelter of an abbey in England and becomes involved with Edward, the Black Prince's campaign in Spain. Doyle later wrote a prequel, titled "Sir Nigel", concerning the early life of one of the heroes in this novel. “We go to France, and from thence I trust to Spain, in humble search of a field in which we may win advancement and perchance some small share of glory. For this purpose I would have you know that it is not my wont to let any occasion pass where it is in any way possible that honor may be gained. I would have you bear this in mind, and give great heed to it that you may bring me word of all cartels, challenges, wrongs, tyrannies, infamies, and wronging of damsels. Nor is any occasion too small to take note of, for I have known such trifles as the dropping of a gauntlet, or the flicking of a breadcrumb, when well and properly followed up, lead to a most noble spear-running.” - Sir Nigel, “The White Company”
