Specificatii
This vivid biography, written by John Dickson Carr, a giant in the
field of mystery fiction, benefits from his full access to the
archives of the eminent Sir Arthur Conan Doyleto his notebooks,
diaries, press clippings, and voluminous correspondence. Like his
creation Sherlock Holmes, Doyle had a horror of destroying
documents, and until his death in 1930, they accumulated to vast
amount throughout his house at Windlesham. They provide many of the
words incorporated by Carr in this lively portrayal of Doyle's
forays into politics, his infatuation with spiritualism, his
literary ambitions, and dinner-table conversations with friends
like H. G. Wells and King Edward VII. Carr, then, in a sense
collaborates with his subject to unfold a colorful narrative that
takes Doyle from his school days at Stonyhurst to Edinburgh
University and a medical practice at Southsea, where he conceived
the idea of wedding scientific study to criminal investigation in
the fictive person of Sherlock Holmes. It also explores the private
tragedy of Doyle's first marriage and long-delayed second as it
follows him into the arena of public activity, propaganda, and
literary output that would win him not only celebrity but also
knighthood. 8 pages of black-and-white photographs are featured.
