An essay on Conan Doyle

Conan Doyle (1859—— 1930) is an outstanding British detective novelist and playwright. Graduated from Edinburgh Medical University, practicing medicine 10 for many years, earning only one living allowance. After writing detective stories. The Study of Blood Traits was published after several rejections, and it is famous for its Four Signs. 189 1 year, he gave up medicine and became a detective novelist. His representative works include Scandal in Bohemia, Red Hair Society, Five Orange Nuclei and so on. 1894 decided not to write detective stories and let Sherlock Holmes die in the torrent of the last case. Unexpectedly, readers were furious and protested in succession. Conan Doyle had to let Sherlock Holmes live in an empty house, and wrote detective novels such as The Hound of the Baskerville, The Return and uncanny valley. Sherlock Holmes has become a household name in the world. Holmes's office has also become a tourist attraction. The logical reasoning of the work is fascinating, the structure is ups and downs, and the characters are vivid, which involves the social reality of Britain at that time. Regarding his artistic achievements, the famous British novelist Mao Mu once said: "Compared with the Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes written by Conan Doyle, no detective novel has ever enjoyed such a great reputation." Conan Doyle is known as "the father of English detective stories", and his books have become one of the best-selling books in the world.

The complete transliteration of Chinese is Conan's meaning. Simplified (Conan Doyle) was sent to Jesus Preparatory School at the age of 9. 1875 When he left school, Doyle hated Catholicism and became an agnostic. 1876 to 188 1, studying medicine at Edinburgh University. After graduation, he went to the coast of West Africa as a ship doctor. 1882 After returning to China, he began to practice medicine in Plymouth. However, his medical practice was not very smooth, during which Doyle began to write. After moving to Nanhai, he began to spend more time on writing. Doyle's first important work is A Study of Blood Characters, a detective novel published in Beaton Christmas Annual at the price of 1887. The protagonist of this novel is Sherlock Holmes who became famous later.

Doyle married Louise Hawkins on 1885. Doyle married Miss Joan Leckie.

Doyle 1890 went to Vienna to study ophthalmology and returned to London a year later to become an ophthalmologist, which gave him more time to write. Doyle wrote in a letter to his mother: "I am thinking of killing Sherlock Holmes ... I want to get rid of him and get rid of it." He takes up too much of my time. " 1893 12 In The Last Case, Doyle let Sherlock Holmes and his sworn enemy Professor moriarty die together at Lessingbach Falls. However, the ending of the novel makes readers very dissatisfied. After Holmes "died" in the last case, Fu Fan was very angry and often went to his house to do things like breaking windows. This made Doyle finally "resurrect" Sherlock Holmes. 1903, Doyle published The Empty House, which saved Sherlock Holmes from death. Doyle wrote 56 short detective stories and 4 novellas in his life, all of which featured Sherlock Holmes.

/kloc-At the end of 0/9, the British Boer War in South Africa was condemned by the whole world. Doyle wrote a pamphlet entitled "The War in South Africa: Causes and Actions" to defend Britain. This book has been translated into many languages and published, which has a great influence. Doyle believes that it was this book that made him knighted in 1902. Doyle ran for Congress twice in the early 20th century, but neither was elected.

Doyle himself was involved in two interesting cases. 1906 once, an anglo-Indian lawyer was accused of sending threatening letters and cruelty to animals. Although the animals were still abused after the lawyer was arrested, the police insisted that the lawyer was guilty. It is worth noting that after this case, the criminal appeal court was established in Britain, from 65438 to 0907. Therefore, it can be said that Moore not only helped lawyers, but also indirectly helped to establish a grievance appeal mechanism. Another time was in 1908, when a German Jew who ran a casino was accused of attacking an old woman of 100 with a stick.

In his later years, Doyle began to believe in spiritualism and even wrote several novels about it. Arthur Conan Doyle died on1July 7, 930. "Truth is like steel, honesty is like a sword" is Sir Conan Doyle's epitaph.

Arthur Conan Doyle is famous for his series The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, but this is just one of his many contributions. Different from many contemporary writers, Doyle's short stories have a strong sense of pictures, concentrated conflict settings, ups and downs, and fascinating plots, making readers seem to be reading a movie story. It is no exaggeration to say that many of Doyle's short stories are very good movie blueprints, with some modifications. Doyle was able to have such artistic thinking long before the popularization of film art, which is very rare. His short story "The Ring of Toth" presents us with a fantastic world around the theme of death and eternal life in ancient Egyptian culture, and it is also one of the important creative sources of Hollywood mummy movies. The Lost World (written in 19 12) is an inter-generational work, which tells the story of an expedition coming to a plateau in South America, where there are still some prehistoric creatures. This novel is enlightening to our modern adventure stories and movies of ancient beasts and dinosaurs. Conan Doyle wrote 60 stories, 56 short stories and 4 novellas. These stories were published in the seaside magazine for 40 years, which was the practice at that time (Charles Dickens also published novels in a similar form). Stories mainly take place from 1878 to 1907, and the latest story is set at 19 14. Two of the stories were written in the first tone of Sherlock Holmes, two in the third person, and the rest were narrated by Watson.

Arthur conan doyle's classic detective novel "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" includes adventure history series, memoir series, regression series, last greeting series, new detective series, research on blood characters, uncanny valley, the hound of the Baskerville and four signs.

Conan Doyle wrote a study on blood characters at the age of 29, which was published the following year. Two years later, Conan Doyle published Signs of Four. During the three years from 189 1 to 1894, Conan Doyle wrote Bohemian Scandal, Red Hair Society, Identity Case, The Secret of Boscombe Valley, Five Tangerine Kernels, The Man with a Crooked Mouth and Silver Horse. At the end of 1894, Conan Doyle let Holmes die in the last case. At the appeal of readers, he wrote The Hound of the Baskerville at 190 1. 1903, Conan Doyle wrote The Empty House, which revived Sherlock Holmes and revived him in front of readers. He has written detective stories such as Return, uncanny valley, Last Greetings and New Exploration.
