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.

Jako čerstvý, nadaný, ale chudý absolvent medicíny přijal velkorysou nabídku pana Blessingtona na zřízení lékařské ordinace ve velmi prestižní lokalitě. Podmínkou je, že se pan Blessington stane jeho pacientem a Trevelyan mu bude pravidelně odvádět podíl z příjmu. Jednoho dne ale navštíví doktora v ordinaci dva cizinci, jejichž přítomnost v domě pana Blessingtona velmi vyděsí.

OWC Adventures of Sherlock Holmes


"The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" is the series of short stories that made the fortunes of the "Strand" magazine, in which they were first published, and won immense popularity for Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. The detective is at the height of his powers and the volume is full of famous cases, including "The Red-Headed League", "The Blue Carbuncle", and "The Speckled Band". Although Holmes gained a reputation for infallibility, Conan Doyle showed his own realism and feminism by having the great detective defeated by Irene Adler - a woman - in the very first story, "A Scandal in Bohemia".

OWC Sherlock Holmes: Selected Stories


No characters in English literature since those in the great Dickens gallery have taken so firm a hold upon the British and American imagination as Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. This selection draws the best stories from the several Sherlock Holmes volumes, and shows how the famous detective and his assistant are elevated above the level of fiction and into the realm of mythology, where the learned and the simple meet on equal footing.

OWC Study in Scarlet


The very first Sherlock Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet was also the first of Conan Doyle's books to be published. His two creations, Holmes, the master of the science of detection and Watson, the great detective's faithful companion, are immediatel y in fine form. The mystery itself, its solution plucked unerringly by Holmes from the heart of Victorian London, proves to be the inevitable consequence of a tragedy of the American West. The story is harrowing in its alternating hope and despair, a lthough Holmes himself was later to complain that the book `produces much the same effect as if you worked a love-story or an elopement into the fifth proposition of Euclid'.

OWC Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes


"The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes" are overshadowed by the event with which they close - the meeting of the great detective and Moriarty, the Napoleon of Crime. Their struggle, seemingly to the death, was to leave many readers desolate at the loss of H olmes, but was also to lead to his immortality as a literary figure. However illogical as a detective story, "The Final Problem" has proved itself an unforgettable tale. The stories that precede it included two narratives from Holmes himself, on a mu tiny at sea and a treasure hunt in a Sussex country house, as well as a meeting with his brilliant brother Mycroft.

OWC Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes


In The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes we read the last twelve stories Conan Doyle was to write about Holmes and Watson. They reflect the disillusioned world of the 1920s in which they were written, and he can be seen to take advantage of new, more open conventions in fiction. Suicide as a murder weapon and homosexual incest are some of the psychological tragedies whose consequences are unravelled by the mind of Holmes before the eyes of Watson. That said, the collection also includes some of the b est turns of wit in the series, and indeed in the whole of English literature. The editor of this volume, W.W. Robson, is Emeritus David Masson, Professor of English Literature at the University of Edinburgh and the author of Modern English Literatur e. The general editor of the Oxford Sherlock Holmes, Owen Dudley Edwards, is Reader in History at the University of Edinburgh and author of The Quest for Sherlock Holmes. A Biographical Study of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Sherlock Holmes short stories


Sherlock Holmes is the greatest detective of them all. He sits in his room, and smokes his pipe. He listens, and watches, and thinks. He listens to the steps coming up the stairs; he watches the door opening - and he knows what question the stranger will ask. In these three of his best stories, Holmes has three visitors to the famous flat in Baker Street - visitors who bring their troubles to the only man in the world who can help them.
