The first performer of Holmes on the Russian stage was the artist of the Suvorinsky Theater in St. Petersburg Boris Glagolin. He, playing Holmes, "transformed from old people to young people and back, acting deftly, quickly and accurately." Criticism believed that Holmes was perceived by the public as "the genius of the almighty police, reasonable, fair, incorruptible", that the success of the performance was determined by "the longing of bourgeois society for order", but Glagolin saw in Holmes not a defender of the police reaction, but a good-natured voluntary fighter for order and justice.

Acquaintance

One day, when I came to the library, I saw an old leather-bound book on the shelf. Taking it, I saw a beautiful inscription: Arthur Kona Doyle. I brought this book home and started reading. It contained stories about the astute detective Sherlock Holmes. He investigated various crimes in which the police shrugged their shoulders and said: "There is nothing we can do to help." Sherlock Holmes could determine by a small fingernail who this person was, what he did, where he came from ... And therefore, not a single criminal escaped the deserved punishment. I really liked Sherlock Holmes for his intelligence and ability to build a logical chain, and Conan Doyle became my favorite writer. I wanted to know more about this writer.

Young years

The real name of the writer is Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle. Born in Edinburgh (Scotland) May 22, 1859 in an Irish Catholic family, known for their achievements in art and literature. Father Charles Altamont Doyle, an architect and artist, at the age of 22 married 17-year-old Mary Foley, who was passionate about books and had a great talent for storytelling. The family of the future writer experienced serious financial difficulties. And at the age of 9, rich relatives sent Arthur to a closed boarding school, where he discovered the talent of a storyteller and disliked religious class prejudice, as well as physical punishment. In 1876, Arthur graduated from college and returned home. Doyle chose a medical career and entered the University of Edinburgh. It was there that he wrote his first story. And in 1880, he sailed on a whaling ship for 7 months as a doctor. And having received a university diploma and a bachelor's degree in medicine in 1881, he took up practice.

literary life.

In February 1888, A. Conan Doyle completed work on the novel "Micah Clark", which told about the "Monmouth Rebellion" of 1685, the purpose of which was to overthrow King James II. The novel was published in November and was warmly received by critics. Starting from this moment, in creative life Conan Doyle's conflict arose: on the one hand, the public and publishers demanded new works about Sherlock Holmes; on the other hand, the writer himself was increasingly striving to gain recognition as the author of serious novels (primarily historical ones), as well as plays and poems. The first serious historical work of Conan Doyle is the novel "The White Company". With some assumption, the novel “Rodney Stone” (1896) can also be classified as historical: the action here takes place in early XIX century, Napoleon and Nelson, playwright Sheridan are mentioned.

In 1900, Conan Doyle returned to medical practice: as a surgeon in a military field hospital, he went to the Boer War. His book, The War in South Africa, published in 1902, met with ardent approval from conservative circles. As a result of his activities in 1907, a court of appeal was created in England, which had not existed before. In 1909, events in Africa again fell into the sphere of public and political interests of Conan Doyle. This time he exposed the cruel colonial policy of Belgium in the Congo and criticized the British position on this issue. In 1912, Conan Doyle published the science fiction novel lost World"(subsequently filmed more than once), followed by The Poison Belt (1913). The protagonist of both works was Professor Challenger, a fanatic scientist, endowed with grotesque qualities, but at the same time humane and charming in his own way.

slide 6

The outbreak of the First World War completely turned the life of Conan Doyle. First, he volunteered for the front, being sure that his mission was to set a personal example of heroism and service to the motherland. After this offer was rejected, he devoted himself to journalism. Starting from August 8, 1914, his letters appear in the London Times on military theme. He proposed the creation of a massive combat reserve and civilian detachments to carry out "services for the protection of railway stations and vital facilities, help in the construction of fortifications and perform many other combat missions." Back in Crowborough, Sussex, Doyle set about organizing such detachments with his own hands, and on the first day put 200 men under arms. In 1916, the writer drove through the combat positions of the British troops and visited the Allied armies. The trip resulted in the book On Three Fronts (1916). In 1924, Conan Doyle's autobiographical book Memoirs and Adventures was published. The last major work of the writer was the science fiction story The Maracot Abyss (1929).

Slide 7

Last years

The writer spent the entire second half of the 1920s traveling, visited all continents, without stopping his active journalistic activity. After this trip, the writer's health deteriorated sharply. At some point, improvement came, and Conan Doyle went to London, but, alas, in the early morning of July 7, 1930, at his home in Crowborough (Sussex). Conan Doyle died of a heart attack. He was buried near his garden house. At the request of the widow, only the name of the writer, date of birth and four words were engraved on the tombstone: Steel True, Blade Straight (“Faithful as steel, straight as a blade”).

Fiction - genre fiction, film and fine arts; her aesthetic basis is a category of the fantastic, consisting in violation of the framework, boundaries, rules of the real. The origins of fantasy lie in myth, folk tale (mainly fairy tale), and to a lesser extent in the religious and mythological images of the Bible.

    Science fiction genre - a type of fiction, where the work is based on a scientific or technical problem, the implementation of which can be expected in the future.

    AT this moment There are three main genres of fiction - science fiction, fantasy, horror. The main fantasy genres of the past are fantasy travel and utopia.

5. “Ugly creatures appeared on the path. Where have I seen this freak... It's a stegosaurus. For about five minutes the stegosaurus stood next to me.”
6. “I heard strange sounds from behind. My heart sank in my chest at the thought that someone was chasing me. Only flight could save me. My legs gave way, and I ran, ran with horror.
