The English novelist became one of the most important writers in the history of detective stories, because he created a successful detective role-Sherlock Holmes. In addition, he also wrote many other types of novels, such as science fiction, historical novels, love novels, plays, poems and so on.
Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, on May 22nd, 859. When he was 9 years old, he was sent to Jesus Preparatory School. 1875 When he left school, Doyle became disgusted with 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 later became famous.
Doyle married Louise Hawkins in 1885, but Hawkins died of tuberculosis in 1906. 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 made the readers very dissatisfied, which made Doyle finally "resurrect" Sherlock Holmes. 1903, Doyle published The Empty House, which allowed Sherlock Holmes to escape. 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. On another occasion, in 1908, a German Jew who ran a casino was accused of attacking an 82-year-old woman with a stick.
In his later years, Doyle began to believe in spiritualism and even wrote several novels about it. Conan Doyle died on1July 7, 930.
