Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on May 22, 1859, into an Irish Roman Catholic family of noted artistic achievement. After attending Stonyhurst College, he entered Edinburgh University as a medical student in 1876. He received a doctor of medicine degree in 1885. In his spare time, however, he began to write stories, which were published anonymously in various magazines from 1878 to 1880. After two long sea voyages as a ship's doctor, Doyle practiced medicine at Southsea, England, from 1882 to 1890. In 1885 he married Louise Hawkins and in March 1891 moved his young family to London, where he began to specialize in ophthalmology. His practice remained small, however, and since one of his anonymous stories, "Habakuk Jephson's Statement," had enjoyed considerable success when it appeared in the

The creation of a legend When he qualified, Doyle set up a medical practice in Southsea, near Portsmouth. It wasn't a great success, however, and he was left with plenty of time to write. His first published work was The Mystery of the Sasassa Valley in 1879 when he was 20. In 1885 Doyle married Louisa 'Toulie' Hawkins, with whom he would have two children. Sherlock Holmes didn't appear until 1887 when A Study in Scarlet was published in the Beeton Christmas Annual . Doyle couldn't know it then but he had made history and in the process created a character who would fast begin to outshine his creator. The Strand Magazine began to publish The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in July 1891 and Holmes, Watson and Moriarty became instant hits. In fact, the detective stories became so successful that Doyle gave up his Southsea practice and devoted all his time to writing.

Arthur Conan Doyle was born on May 22, 1859, in Edinburgh , Scotland, and educated at Stonyhurst College and the University of Edinburgh. From 1882 to 1890 he practiced medicine in Southsea, England. A Study in Scarlet, the first of about 60 stories featuring Sherlock Holmes, appeared in 1887. The characterization of Holmes, particularly his ability of ingenious deductive reasoning, was based on one of Conan Doyle's own university professors. Equally brilliant creations are the characters who play Holmes's foils: his friend Dr. Watson, the good-natured narrator of the stories, and the master criminal Professor Moriarty. Conan Doyle was so successful in his literary career that approximately five years after his first works were published he abandoned his medical practice to devote his entire time to writing.

    Extractions: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Born in Edinburgh, Doyle studied medicine but when he could not make a living in that field, he began writing. He is best known for his Sherlock Holmes mysteries, but he also wrote historical romances and several books on Spiritualism. In his late twenties, Doyle became interested in Spiritualism. The idea of life after death remained important to him for the rest of his life, and he spoke publicly about the validity of psychics and contact with the spirits. Doyle was aware that his convictions sometimes left him open to ridicule, but, as his last surviving daughter, Dame Jean Conan Doyle said in an interview in 1990, his perseverence demonstrated great moral courage. Dame Doyle, who passed away in 1997, said people like her father "knew that the world would ridicule them, but they had the guts to stand by what they believed in." The famous mystery writer was also respected for his efforts for Britain during the Boer War and World War I. Not accepted for active duty, Doyle served in the Boer War as a physician. Later, he founded the volunteer forces and the Rifle Societies, and wrote about both wars. Of course, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is best known around the world as the creator of master detective Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick, Dr. Watson. The first Holmes book was A Study in Scarlet , which was sold for 25 pounds. By 1891, six Holmes novels had been published in

    Extractions: ab 1891 Doyle arbeitet als freischaffender Schriftsteller. Er veröffentlicht regelmäßig kurze Abenteuer seines Helden Sherlock Holmes im "Strand Magazine". Mit den Geschichten um den exzentrischen Detektiv wird Doyle zum Begründer des modernen Kriminalromans. Seine Erzählungen werden zum Vorbild für den bürgerlichen Detektivroman des 20. Jahrhunderts. Dem brillanten Detektiv Holmes stellt er die Figur des Dr. Watson als Gehilfen zur Seite. Dieser wird zur Identifikationsfigur für den Leser und hilft ihm mit seinen naiven Fragen, Holmes Kombinationsgabe zu folgen. Noch im selben Jahr erscheint der erste Sammelband "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" mit großem Erfolg. Obwohl Doyle seinen Helden nach dem Erscheinen des zweiten Sammelbands "The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes" sterben lassen will, überreden ihn Verleger und Publikum dazu, ihn am Leben zu lassen. In den kommenden Jahren folgen auf die ersten zwei Sammelbände mit "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" (1903/04) und "The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes" (1927) noch zwei weitere.

    Extractions: Today, nearly seventy years after his death, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is universally associated with his most popular literary creation, Sherlock Holmes. In fact, the hyper-rational detective is such an enduring character in western literature that he and his creator have practically become one in the popular imagination. People are inevitably surprised, then, to find out that the real Conan Doyle was a far more complex man, one whose fervent belief in Spiritualism dominated the final dozen years of his life. Arthur Conan Doyle, born into a large Catholic family in Edinburgh, Scotland, received most of his education from the Jesuits. But by the time he enrolled at the University there to study medicine, Conan Doyle had rejected Catholicism and Christianity in general. In 1882 he joined a medical practice in Plymouth, but after quarreling with his partner, opened his own practice in Southsea. There, in the mid-1880s, several important developments occurred: he married, began studying psychic phenomena, and started spending more time writing. Sherlock Holmes debuted in 1887 in "A Study in Scarlet," and in a short time proved so popular that Conan Doyle felt compelled to "kill" him in "The Final Problem," published in 1893. Recognizing early on that his creation might become a kind of straitjacket, Conan Doyle worked hard to distance himself from Holmes and indulge his many other interests. After a séance in which he believed he had been contacted by his son Kingsley, who had died in the War, Conan Doyle became a leader of the movement, defending it in lectures around the world. Even the embarrassing Cottingley fairy hoax, in which he had championed faked photographs of wood fairies and goblins that werelater revealed as fakes, did not deter him. "The Elusive American," on the other hand, thought he knew trickery when he saw it, and set out to punish those taking advantage of a vulnerable public. That their friendship lasted for several years is largely due to the fact that Houdini, always seeking intellectual respectabilty, deliberately hid his real feelings about Spititualism from the noted man of letters.

    Extractions: When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was knighted in 1902, there was some speculation that the honor was bestowed to recognize his achievement in The Hound of the Baskervilles. But the more seemly prelude was his pamphlet, The War in South Africa: Its Causes and Conduct, The Sign of the Four, has some of the elements of the adventure story for boys, with its recollection of the bloody Indian Sepoy Rebellion of 1857. Among the most notable of his historical adventures are The White Company (1891) and Sir Nigel (1906). Conan Doyle, trained in medicine and with a sharp eye for scientific and logical plausibility, also wrote a number of science fiction stories. The character Professor Challenger of 1912's The Lost World, about living remnants of the prehistoric world, did not match Holmes in popularity, but he did inspire a large following himself, and he appeared again in other science fiction adventures, including The Poison Belt in 1913, and a collection of stories published posthumously in 1952. Upon his death in 1930, Conan Doyle left his family with the conviction that he would surely communicate with them from the spirit world which he held so dear.

    Extractions: I'd be happy to argue the point, but it seems to me that the four greatest fictional characters of all time (excluding Don Quijote , who's in a league of his own) are : Frankenstein's monster , Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, and Tarzan . There are certainly no other characters who are so familiar, so often revived in plays, movies, song, television, and books, nor so often parodied and imitated as they. Take a look at your TV Guide and there'll be a movie featuring at least one of the four on the air at some point this week. They are all still just as popular as the day their authors introduced them. The reason for this is, first of all that they are simply brilliant creations, but secondly that they each in their own way tap into very powerful human fears and aspirations. Frankenstein's monster and Dracula represent victory over mortality. Tarzan represents victory over Nature. Sherlock Holmes represents the ultimate and inevitable triumph of reason over the mysteries of human behavior. Of this quartet, it is Holmes, because he is the most realistic character and because his victory seems closest to our grasp, who resonates most deeply with us. Realistically, none of us expect to gain eternal life nor to be plopped down in the jungle unexpectedly, but there's a sense in Holmes that, for all his genius, he is really just using the brain power that all of us share better than the rest of us do. As he tells Watson here, after one of his those classic moments where the good Doctor is stunned by one of Holmes's analyses :
