About Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a writer and physician most noted for his fictional stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, the first scientific detective, which are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction. Before becoming a writer, he attended the University of Edinburgh to train as a physician, and it was from his teacher, Joseph Bell, that he learned much of what would inspire Holmes’s skills of deduction. He also wrote science fiction stories, historical novels, plays, romances, poetry, and nonfiction. After his son Kingsley died in the first World War, he became a convert to spiritualism and a social reformer who used his investigative skills to prove the innocence of individuals.

Ne opisuj, samo pusti da maštoviti um popuni praznine. Prvih šest pr......more

Goodreads review by Randy on February 05, 2024

A few of Doyle's supernatural/paranormal stories, and a handful of his non-Holmes and Watson crime/mystery stories. To single out a singular tale, "The Horror of the Heights" seems to anticipate some of H. P. Lovecraft's stories. As usual, Doyle had a magic touch with drawing a reader in and, in pla......more
