Autor

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a British writer and physician, best known for creating the iconic detective Sherlock Holmes. Born on May 22, 1859, in Edinburgh, Scotland, Doyle's most famous work, A Study in Scarlet, introduced Sherlock Holmes in 1887, marking the beginning of a series that included four novels and fifty-six short stories. These works became milestones in the development of crime fiction, establishing Holmes and his companion, Dr. Watson, as cultural icons. Doyle's expertise in medicine also influenced his writing, providing a foundation for his character's sharp intellect and deductive reasoning. Beyond the Sherlock Holmes stories, he wrote a wide range of works, including historical novels, science fiction, and plays. In addition to his writing career, Doyle was involved in various social causes and even served as a volunteer doctor during the Second Boer War. He passed away on July 7, 1930, in Crowborough, England, at the age of 71. His literary legacy endures, and he has received several accolades, including the Audie Award for Excellence in Production.
