福尔摩斯探案系列1:血字的研究•四签名

by Arthur Conan Doyle

《福尔摩斯探案系列1:血字的研究·四签名》的主人公，世界上最有名的侦探。多数时候，他住在英国伦敦贝克街221号的寓所里，喜欢抽烟斗，做实验；推理能力一流，拳击、射击水平高超；精湛的小提琴演奏为他的优雅增色不少。他喜欢按自己的方式办案，不时捉弄一番达官贵人，虽也有失手的时候，但绝大多数情况下，都能成功地解决那些匪夷所思的疑案。华生曾嘲笑他的写作缺乏文采，但在《狮鬃毛》一案中，我们发现他的讲述跟他的办案一样引人入胜。很少有旗鼓相当的对手，莫里亚蒂教授算一个，艾琳·艾德勒女士也让他尝到了失败的滋味。后来随着影视作品的推波助澜，他成了大众偶像，超级英雄。

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.
