Über den Autor


Arthur Conan Doyle was born on 22 May 1859 in Edinburgh into a prosperous Irish family. He trained as a doctor, gaining his degree from Edinburgh University in 1881. He worked as a surgeon on a whaling boat and also as a medical officer on a steamer travelling between Liverpool and West Africa. He then settled in Portsmouth and divided his time between medicine and writing. Sherlock Holmes made his first appearance in 'Beeton's Christmas Annual' in 1887. Its success encouraged Conan Doyle to write more stories involving Holmes but, in 1893, Conan Doyle killed off Holmes, hoping to concentrate on more serious writing. A public outcry later made him resurrect Holmes. Conan Doyle wrote a number of other novels and non-fictional works including a pamphlet justifying Britain's involvement in the Boer War, for which he was knighted, and histories of the Boer War and World War One. In later life he became very interested in spiritualism. Conan Doyle died of a heart attack on 7 July 1930.
