Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (65438 May 22, 0859-65438 July 7, 0930)
UK The novelist successfully created Sherlock Holmes and became one of the most important novelists in the history of detective fiction. In addition, he has written many other types of novels, such as science fiction, suspense, historical novels, romance novels, dramas, poetry, etc.
Conan Doyle was born on May 22, 1859 in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. When he was 9 years old, he was sent to Jesus Preparatory School. By the time he left school in 1875, Doyle had developed an antipathy to Catholicism and became an agnostic. From 1876 to 1881, he studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh. After graduation, he went to work as a ship's doctor on the coast of West Africa. After returning to China in 1882, he began practicing medicine in Plymouth. However, his medical practice was not going well, and during this time Doyle began writing. After moving to Nanhai, he began to spend more time writing. Doyle's first important work was A Study in Scarlet, a detective novel published in Beaton's Christmas Annual in 1887. The protagonist of this novel is Sherlock Holmes, who later became famous.
Doyle married Louise Hawkins in 1885, but Hawkins died of tuberculosis in 1906. Doyle married Miss Joan Lakekey.
Doyle went to Vienna to study ophthalmology in 1890, 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, get rid of him. He takes up too much of my time." 1893 12 In The Last In "The Case", Doyle had Sherlock Holmes die at the Reichenbach Falls together with his mortal enemy Professor Moriarty. However, the ending of the novel leaves readers unsatisfied. After Holmes "died" in the last case, Fu Fan was very angry and often went to his house to do things like smash windows. This allowed Doyle to finally "resurrect" Sherlock Holmes. In 1903, Doyle published The Empty House, saving Sherlock Holmes from death. Doyle wrote 56 short detective novels and 4 novellas throughout his life, all with Sherlock Holmes as the protagonist.
At the end of 19, the British Boer War in South Africa was condemned by the whole world. Doyle wrote a pamphlet called The South African War: Causes and Conduct in defense of the British. This book was translated into many languages ??and had a great influence. Doyle believed it was this book that led to him being knighted in 1902. Doyle ran for Congress twice in the early 20th century but was unsuccessful.
Doyle himself was involved in two interesting cases. In 1906, an Anglo-Indian lawyer was accused of sending threatening letters and abusing animals. Although the animals were still mistreated after the lawyer was arrested, police insisted the lawyer was guilty. It is worth noting that after this case, the Court of Criminal Appeal was established in the UK from 65438 to 0907. Therefore, it can be said that Moore not only helped lawyers, but also indirectly helped establish a grievance redress mechanism. Another time, in 1908, a German Jew who ran a casino was accused of attacking a 100-year-old woman with a stick.
In his later years, Doyle began to believe in spiritualism and even wrote several novels on this theme. Arthur Conan Doyle died on July 7, 1930.
Arthur Conan Doyle is best known for his Sherlock Holmes series, but that was just one of his many contributions. Unlike many writers of his generation, Doyle's short stories have a strong sense of imagery, concentrated conflict settings, ups and downs, and fascinating plots, making readers feel as if they are reading a movie story. It is no exaggeration to say that many of Doyle's short stories would have been excellent film blueprints, with slight modifications. It is very rare for Doyle to have such artistic thinking long before the popularity of film art.
His short story "The Ring of Thos" presents us with a fantasy world around the themes of death and immortality in ancient Egyptian culture. It was also one of the important creative sources for later Hollywood mummy movies. "The Lost World" (written in 1921) is an epoch-making work. It tells the story of an expedition to a plateau in South America where some prehistoric creatures still exist. The novel inspired our modern adventure stories and movies about ancient beasts and dinosaurs.
