Arthur Conan Doyle was born into an Irish Catholic family noted for its achievements in art and literature. “My real love for literature, my penchant for writing comes from my mother, I believe,” wrote Conan Doyle in his autobiography. Vivid images of the stories she told me in early childhood completely replaced in my memory memories of specific events in my life of those years.
School life Arthur passed into preparatory school Godder. When the boy was 9 years old, rich relatives offered to pay for his education and sent him to the Jesuit closed college Stonyhurst for the next seven years, from where the future writer took out a hatred of religious and class prejudices, as well as physical punishment. In the boarding school, Doyle enjoyed playing sports, and also discovered his talent as a storyteller, gathering around him peers who listened to stories they made up on the go for hours.
As a third-year student at the University of Edinburgh, Doyle decided to try his hand at literature. His first story is "The Secret of the Sasas Valley", the second is "American History". In February 1880, Doyle, as a ship's doctor, spent seven months in Arctic waters aboard the whaling ship Hope, receiving a total of 50 pounds for his work. "I boarded this ship as a big, clumsy youth and came down the gangplank as a strong adult," he later wrote in his autobiography.
Having received a university diploma and a bachelor's degree in medicine in 1881, Conan Doyle took up medical practice, first joint, then individual. Finally, in 1891, Doyle decided to make literature his main profession. During those same days, he met his future wife, Louise "Tuya" Hawkins; the wedding took place on August 6, 1885.
The outbreak of World War I completely turned Conan Doyle's life upside down. First, he volunteered for the front. After this offer was rejected, he devoted himself to journalistic activity. In 1916, Conan Doyle traveled through the battlefields of the British troops and visited the armies of the allies, considering it his duty to maintain the morale of the soldiers. Brother, son and two nephews of Doyle went to the front and died there. This was a great shock to the writer and left a heavy seal on his entire subsequent literary activity.
The writer spent the entire second half of the 1920s traveling without stopping active publicistic activity. His last trip to Scandinavia undermined his health. He spent the next spring in bed surrounded by loved ones. At some point, there was an improvement: the writer immediately went to London to demand from the Minister of the Interior that the laws that persecuted mediums be repealed. This effort proved to be the last: early morning On July 7, 1930, at his home in Crowborough, Sussex, Conan Doyle died of a heart attack. He was buried near his garden house.
The first story in the Sherlock Holmes series, A Scandal in Bohemia, was published in The Strand in 1891. The prototype of the protagonist, who soon became a legendary consulting detective, was Joseph Bell, a professor at the University of Edinburgh, famous for his ability to guess the character and past of a person from the smallest details.
“He was over six feet tall, but with his unusual thinness he seemed even taller. His gaze was sharp, piercing, except for those periods of stupor referred to above; a thin aquiline nose gave his face an expression of lively energy and determination. A square, slightly protruding chin also spoke of a decisive character. At the first meeting with Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson describes the great detective as a tall, thin young man:
For two years, Doyle created story after story, and eventually began to own character. His attempt to “finish” Holmes in a fight with Professor Moriarty (“The Last Case of Holmes”) turned out to be unsuccessful: the hero, beloved by the reading public, had to be “resurrected”. The Holmes epic culminated in the novel The Hound of the Baskervilles, which is considered a classic of the detective genre.
Four novels are devoted to the adventures of Sherlock Holmes: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Valley of Terror, and five collections of short stories. The extraordinary popularity of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson gradually grew into an industry new mythology, the center of which to this day remains an apartment in London at 221-b Baker Street.
The first performer of Holmes on the Russian stage was an artist of the Suvorinsky Theater in Saint 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 .
Ambassador Brenton in particular Ambassador Brenton said to Mr. Livanov in particular: He said to Mr. Livanov: “When I was a child, I loved Sherlock Holmes very much, and after watching your films, I can say that you are very similar to him. That's exactly what he was!"
The monument to the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and the detective Sherlock Holmes and his permanent assistant Dr. Watson was unveiled to Dr. Watson near the embassy building near the British Embassy building on Smolenskaya Embankment Smolenskaya Embankment in Moscow A legend is associated with it. There is a legend associated with it. It turns out that if you sit down It turns out that if you sit next to Dr. Watson and next to Dr. Watson and hold on to his notebook hold on to his notebook, all problems and a book, all problems and doubts will be solved. But if you touch the tube, doubts will be resolved. But if you touch the pipe of the famous detective, worries will noticeably increase. famous detective - worries will noticeably increase.
In 2007, the New Zealand Mint issued a commemorative series of four silver coins to commemorate the anniversary of the book's publication. The reverse of each coin depicts the main characters of the famous "Notes" performed precisely Russian actors: Livanov, Solomin, Mikhalkov, Zelena and others.

Chapter 12 is narrated from Malone's point of view. How do you imagine it? Until the end of my days, I will not forget this terrible path. I walked around the moonlit clearings at the very edges, trying to stay in dense shade; in the jungle, now and then froze with fear, hearing the crackling of branches through which some animal made its way. Huge shadows appeared in front of me and disappeared again, gliding silently on soft paws. I often stopped with the firm intention of turning back, and each time pride conquered fear and drove me forward to the intended goal. Melone, indeed, has the qualities of character that are inherent in the heroes of adventure literature.

Writer's childhood
Father, Charles Altamont Doyle, was an artist and architect. Mother, Mary Foley, had a passion for books and was the main storyteller in the family, which influenced Arthur's addiction to reading. His favorite author was Mine Reed and his favorite book was The Scalp Hunters.
There were many children in the family, and all his life Arthur tried to help. At the age of 10, Arthur entered the Jesuit boarding school in England at Hodder.
At the age of 12, he went to Stonyhurst School, where he studied the alphabet, counting, basic rules, grammar, syntax, poetry, rhetoric.
Already in boarding school, Arthur realized that he had a talent for storytelling, so he was often surrounded by a collection of admiring young students listening to amazing stories which he composed to entertain them. On last year Arthur publishes a college magazine and writes poetry.
slide 3
Youth
Under the influence of Dr. Brian Charles, Arthur decided to pursue medicine.
In October 1876, Arthur became a medical student at the University of Edinburgh.
During his studies, he was most influenced by one of his teachers - Dr. Joseph Bell, who was a master of observation, logic, inference and error detection. In the future, he served as the prototype for Sherlock Holmes.
In his free time, through accelerated study of disciplines, he worked as a pharmacist and assistant to various doctors.
slide 4
The story "The Secret of the Valley"
Doyle reads a lot and two years after the start of education decides to try his hand at literature. In the spring of 1879 he writes little story"The Secret of the Valley", which is published in the Chamber's Journal in September 1879. He sends out a few more stories. But only the American's Tale is published in the London Society magazine.
With his father's health deteriorating, Doyle becomes the sole breadwinner for his family.

The position of surgeon on the whaler "Nadezhda"
In 1880, while in his third year at university, Arthur accepted a position as a surgeon on the whaler Hope. After gaining a variety of experiences during the 7-month voyage, Doyle would write the first story to touch the sea, the chilling story "Captain of the North Star".
In 1881 he graduated from the University of Edinburgh, where he received a Bachelor of Medicine and a Master of Surgery, and began looking for a job. The result of these searches was the position of a ship's doctor on the Mayuba ship, which sailed between Liverpool and the west coast of Africa - on October 22, 1881, its next voyage began.
In 1882, Doyle left for Portsmouth, where he opened his first practice, which began to generate income only at the end of the third year.
Since there are few clients, Doyle has the opportunity to devote his free time literature. He writes stories: "Bones", "Bloomensday Ravine", "My Killer Friend", which he publishes in the London Society magazine.
slide 6
Birth of Sherlock Holmes
After his marriage, Doyle is actively involved in literature and wants to make it his profession. It is published in Cornhill magazine. One after another, his stories are published: “The Message of Hebekuk Jephson”, “A Gap in the Life of John Huxford”, “The Ring of Thoth”. But stories are stories, and Doyle wants more, he wants to be noticed, and for this you need to write something more serious.
In March 1886, Conan Doyle began writing a novel that would lead him to popularity. In April, he finishes it and sends it to Cornhill to the editor, who in May of the same year speaks very warmly of him, but refuses to publish it, since, in his opinion, he deserves separate edition. Thus began the ordeal of the author, who is trying to attach his offspring. Doyle sends the manuscript to Arrowsmith in Bristol, but from there in July comes negative feedback for a novel. Arthur does not despair and sends the manuscript to Fred Warne and K0. But their romance was not interested either. Next come Messrs. Ward, Locky, and K0. They reluctantly agree, but set a number of conditions: the novel will be released no earlier than next year, the fee for it will be 25 pounds, and the author will transfer all rights to the work to the publisher. Doyle reluctantly agrees, as he wants his first novel to be given to the readers. And so, two years later, this novel was published in Beaton's Christmas Weekly for 1887 under the title A Study in Scarlet, which introduced readers to Sherlock Holmes (prototypes: Professor Joseph Bell, writer Oliver Holmes) and Dr. Watson (prototype Major Wood )
As soon as Doyle sends A Study in Scarlet, he starts a new book, and at the end of February 1888 he finishes The Adventures of Michel Clark, which does not appear until the end of February 1889. Arthur works hard and enjoys historical novels. While working for the White Squad, Doyle receives an unexpected dinner invitation from an American editor to discuss writing another Sherlock Holmes story. Arthur meets him and also meets Oscar Wilde. As a result, Doyle agrees to their proposal.
In 1890, The Sign of the Four appears in the American and English editions of this magazine. By the middle of this year, he is finishing the novel The White Squad, which is considered the best historical novel since Ivanhoe.
Slide 7
Sherlock and Watson...
By the end of 1890, he decides to leave the practice in Portsmouth and travels with his wife to Vienna, where he wants to specialize in ophthalmology. However, faced with specialized German and after studying for 4 months in Vienna, he realizes that time is wasted. In the spring of the same year, Doyle visits Paris and hastily returns to London, where he opens a practice. The practice was not successful (there were no patients), but at that time they write short stories about Sherlock Holmes.
By the end of 1891, Doyle becomes a very popular person in connection with the appearance of the sixth story about Sherlock Holmes - "The Man with the Split Lip".
After writing these six stories, the editor of the Strand in October 1891 requested six more, agreeing to any terms on the part of the author. Doyle names the amount, 50 pounds, at which the deal should not have taken place, since he no longer wanted to deal with this character. But, to his great surprise, it turned out that the editors agreed. And the stories were written.
Slide 8
Sherlock and Watson
In November of the same 1892, the Doyles had a son, whom they named Alleyn Kingely.
In 1892, the magazine "Strand" again offers to write another series of stories about Sherlock Holmes. Doyle, in the hope that the magazine will refuse, puts forward a condition - 1000 pounds and ... the magazine agrees. Doyle was already tired of his hero. After all, every time you need to invent new plot. So when, in early 1893, Doyle and his wife went on holiday to Switzerland and visited the Reichenbach Falls, he made the decision to "do away with this annoying hero."
Slide 9
Over time, he finally learns that Louise has tuberculosis (consumption) and goes to Switzerland. (There he writes The Letters of Streak Monroe, which is published by Jerome K. Jerome in Lazy.)
Although Louise was given only a few months, Doyle begins a belated departure and manages to delay her death for more than 10 years (from 1893 to 1906). Together with his wife, they move to Davos, located in the Alps.
In Davos, Doyle is actively involved in sports, starting to write stories about Brigadier Gerard.
Doyle, at the suggestion of Major Pond, makes a tour of the United States reading excerpts from his works.
It was to the American public that he first read his first story about Brigadier Gerard, Brigadier Gerard's Medal. After the death of Louise in 1906, Arthur marries a second time.
Slide 10
Participation in wars
When the Boer War began in December 1899, Conan Doyle announced to his family that he was volunteering.
In 1902, King Edward VII conferred a knighthood Conan Doyle for services rendered to the Crown during the Boer War.
Before the start of the war in 1914, Doyle joined the volunteer detachment, which was completely civilian and was created in case the enemy invaded England.
slide 11
Lectures in the USA
Fascinated by spiritualism, in the spring of 1922, Doyle and his family made a trip to the United States to promote the "new doctrine", where four lectures were planned at New York's Carnegie Hall. A huge number of visitors come to the lecture due to the fact that Doyle conveys his thoughts to the audience in a simple, accessible language with a demonstration of various photographs confirming the existence of the other world.

End of the road
Arthur Conan Doyle died on Monday, July 7, 1930, surrounded by his family. His last words before his death were addressed to his wife. He whispered, "You are wonderful." He is buried in Minstead Hampshire Cemetery.

Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle Arthur Conan Doyle was born on May 22, 1859 in Edinburgh, Scotland, on Picardy Place. Millions of people read the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, Professor Challenger, Brigadier Gerard. But no less amazing is the biography of their creator, doctor of medicine, world traveler, sportsman and military journalist, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The success of his work is due to the fact that traditional form detective and adventure novel, the writer invested an analytical mind and British prudence, extensive knowledge, a sense of humor and his life experience . And Arthur Conan Doyle experienced dangerous adventures in his life no less than the heroes of his books ... The success of Carl Doyle's Sherlockiana was amazing and truly worldwide. The publishers did not give a break to its creator, demanding more and more sequels. It is generally accepted that the prototype of Sherlock Holmes was one of the writer's mentors at the University of Edinburgh - Doctor of Medicine Joseph Bell. This good-natured, lanky man with "hawkish" features possessed phenomenal powers of observation and the so-called deductive method; All over the world, then, and now, it is accepted that the literary genius of Arthur Conan Doyle has failed, and his Sherlockian is often assessed as "good bad literature." At the same time, the image of Sherlock Holmes created by him is as immortal as Jonathan Swift's Gulliver, Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist ... Conan Doyle wrote a great many historical novels, short stories and short stories, which, however, did not receive wide recognition, and today known only to experts The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle is a unique timeless novel, the champion of popularity in world adventure literature. The Lost World opened up a new direction in science fiction - time travel. It was later followed by Jurassic Park, Godzilla, Walking with Dinosaurs, Dinotopia. "The Lost World" captures you from the first minute and listens in one breath. Welcome to the "Lost World" - the last nesting place for dinosaurs and pterodactels. Conan Doyle's Mansion At the end of his life, the writer, with all his inherent passion, was carried away by spiritualism and practically did not create anything. Before the start of the war (August 4, 1914), Doyle joined the volunteer detachment, which was completely civilian and was created in case the enemy invaded England. Doyle spent several years trying to wrest George Edalji and Oscar Slater from the hands of presumptuous justice. For them, he himself turned into Sherlock Holmes. Regardless of time or costs, the writer traveled around the country, met with witnesses, rummaged through the archives and proved, in the end, that it was not sadists or murderers who ended up in prison, but ordinary victims of a miscarriage of justice... When on March 27 In 1990, the Sherlock Holmes Museum was opened, involuntarily the thought arose that this event should have happened at least several decades earlier. After all, 221 Baker Street is the most famous address in the world, associated with the name of the greatest detective. Mrs. Hudson's restaurant on the ground floor serves delicious Victorian cuisine and afternoon tea from 3:00 pm to 5:30 pm. Whatever category you belong to, a trip to the museum will certainly be remembered forever. Make an entry in the Visitor's Book, take pictures of anything you like (the maid will be happy to help you), and when you are about to leave, you may want to go home in a two-wheeled carriage! Arthur Conan Doyle died on Monday, July 7, 1930, surrounded by his family. His last words before his death were addressed to his wife. He whispered, "You are wonderful..." Doyle is buried in Minstead Hampshire Cemetery. On the grave of the writer, the words bequeathed by him personally are carved: "Do not remember me with reproach, If you carried away the story even a little And the husband, who has seen enough of life, And the boy, before whom the road is still dear ..."
