Beschreibung

One of 12 stories in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, first published in The Strand Magazine and Harper's Weekly in September 1893. Doyle ranked it 17th among his favorite Holmes tales. During a casual chat, Watson learns that Sherlock's older brother Mycroft has even greater powers of observation and deduction. Watson meets Mycroft and discovers the Diogenes Club, where Mycroft spends much of his time. Unlike Sherlock, Mycroft lacks the energy for detective work and prefers to observe rather than act.

Autor

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was born in Scotland and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh. After his studies, he worked as a ship's surgeon on various boats. During the Second Boer War, he was an army doctor in South Africa. When he came back to the United Kingdom, he opened his own practice and started writing crime books. He is best known for his thrilling stories about the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. He published four novels and more than 50 short-stories starring the detective and Dr Watson, and they play an important role in the history of crime fiction. Other than the Sherlock Holmes series, Doyle wrote around thirty more books, in genres such as science-fiction, fantasy, historical novels, but also poetry, plays, and non-fiction.
