Συγγραφέας

Ο Άρθουρ Κόναν Ντόιλ γεννήθηκε στο Εδιμβούργο το 1859. Σπούδασε ιατρική, την οποία όμως γρήγορα εγκατέλειψε για χάρη της λογοτεχνίας, έχοντας τη φιλοδοξία, αρχικά, να γίνει γνωστός γράφοντας ιστορικά μυθιστορήματα και δοκίμια. Έγραψε διηγήματα και μυθιστορήματα ιστορικά, αστυνομικά, μυστηρίου και αγωνίας, επιστημονικής φαντασίας, ιστορικές μελέτες, καθώς επίσης και ένα δίτομο έργο για τον πνευματισμό. Ήταν όμως ο περίφημος Σέρλοκ Χολμς, που πρωτοεμφανίστηκε στο μυθιστόρημά του "Σπουδή στο κόκκινο", το 1887, που τον έκανε ευρύτερα γνωστό. Ο Ντόιλ επηρεάστηκε από τον Έντγκαρ Άλαν Πόε και τον Γουίλκι Κόλινς, χρησιμοποίησε όμως επιστημονική μεθοδολογία και τεχνογνωσία για να δημιουργήσει μυθιστορήματα που ικανοποιούν πλήρως τους αναγνώστες, οι οποίοι επιζητούν αληθοφάνεια και δικαίωση του καλού. Το 1902 χρίστηκε ιππότης (λαμβάνοντας τον τίτλο του Σερ). Πέθανε στις 7 Ιουλίου 1930.
