Über Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle wurde am 22. Mai 1859 in Edinburgh geboren. Er studierte Medizin und unternahm als Schiffsarzt Reisen nach Afrika und in die Antarktis. 1882 eröffnete er eine Arztpraxis in Southsea bei Porthsmouth und begann in seiner Freizeit, Geschichten zu schreiben. 1887 veröffentlichte er seine erste Erzählung über den Detektiv Sherlock Holmes und seinen Freund, den Arzt Dr. Watson: A Study in Scarlet (dt. Eine Studie in Scharlachrot). Mit seinen Detektiverzählungen um Sherlock Holmes, insbesondere dem 1903 erschienenen Romans The Hound of the Baskervilles (dt.: Der Hund der Baskervilles) erlangte Doyle Welt-ruhm. In seinen späteren Jahren begann er Zukunftsromane in der Tradition von Jules Verne zu schreiben und widmete sich in zunehmendem Maße dem Spiritismus. Am 7. Juli 1930 starb Doyle in Windlesham an den Folgen eines Herzinfarkts.
