by Arthur Conan Doyle, Love Kalyuzhnaya (Compilator), Любовь Калюжная (компилятор)

Герои Артура Конан Дойля – Шерлок Холмс и его верный оруженосец и летописец доктор Ватсон – знакомы нам с юношеских пор. И все же мы перечитываем их захватывающие истории снова и снова. Даже сегодня, в пик расцвета детективного жанра, ни одному новому герою-сыщику не удалось превзойти в популярности `гения дедукции`. Ведь Шерлок Холмс не просто детектив – он философ жизни, и общаться с ним необычайно увлекательно.

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.
