“Crime is common. Logic is rare,” Sherlock Holmes states in The Adventures of Copper Breeches. Stories of crime have been told since the time of Greek tragedies, and though heroes come and go, not a year goes by in modern times without new stories in which Sherlock Holmes appears. Through this lifelike detective and sidekick Dr. Watson, Sir Arthur offers many answers to the changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution in Victorian England as he comes up with stunningly original mysteries for his characters to solve. Of course, The Final Problem puts an end to that…or does it?Some of the other reader’s favorites included in this collection are:“The Adventures of the Beryl Coronet”“The Five Orange Pips”“The Musgrave Ritual”“The Red-headed League”
Autoren-Porträt von Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh of Irish ancestry, and came from an artistic family, with a father who was a painter and a grandfather who was a cartoonist.Like Dr. Watson, who narrates almost all of the roughly sixty stories featuring Sherlock Holmes, Doyle was a physician. At medical school he studied under Dr. Joseph Bell who was renowned for his powers of forensic observation.
After medical school Doyle took two voyages as a ship’s surgeon where he met people from every part of the British Empire which gave him valuable insight for his stories. Later in his life he became very interested in spiritualism and politics, topics that surfaced in his later works. In fact it was for The Great Boer War (1902) justifying British colonial policy, that Doyle was knighted.
