Артур Конан Дойль

by Arthur Conan Doyle

С произвидений знаменитого английского писателя А. Конан Дойля (1859 - 1930) - родоначальника галереи "научных детективов" - начался расцвет столь популярного в наши дни жанра. Психологическая утонченность автора заставляет читателя с неослабевающим интересом следить за полным динамики и драматизма действием.
В первый том 4-томного издания вошли две повести "Этюд в багровых тонах" и "Знак четырех", а также рассказы "Приключения Шерлока Холмса".

About the author

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a Scottish writer and physician. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction.

Doyle was a prolific writer. In addition to the Holmes stories, his works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger, and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement" (1884), helped to popularise the mystery of the brigantine Mary Celeste, found drifting at sea with no crew member aboard.
