A Study in Scarlet de Arthur Conan Doyle

A Study in Scarlet

Autor Arthur Conan Doyle Editat de Ravell
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle'sA Study in Scarletis the literary debut of the world's most famous fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes, introduced by Iain Sinclair with notes by Ed Glinert in Penguin Classics.

Convalescing in London after a disastrous experience of war in Afghanistan, Dr John Watson finds himself sharing rooms with his enigmatic new acquaintance, Sherlock Holmes. But their quiet bachelor life at 221B Baker Street is soon interrupted by the grisly discovery of a dead man in a grimy 'ill-omened' house in south-east London, his face contorted by an expression of horror and hatred such as Watson has never seen before. On the wall, the wordrache- German for 'revenge' - is written in blood, yet there are no wounds on the victim or signs of a struggle. Watson's head is in a whirl, but the formidable Holmes relishes this challenge to his deductive powers, and so begins their famous investigative partnership.

In his introduction, Iain Sinclair discusses the links between Sherlock Holmes mysteries and the Jack the Ripper murders, Conan Doyle's narrative style and his depiction of London. This edition also includes further reading, a chronology and notes.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was born in Edinburgh where he qualified as a doctor, but it was his writing which brought him fame, with the creation of Sherlock Holmes, the first scientific detective. He was also a social reformer who used his investigative skills to prove the innocence of individuals.

Iain Sinclair is the author ofDownriver(winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the Encore Award), and his latest bookGhost Milk: Calling Time on the Grand Projectis published by Penguin.

Ed Glinert writes a regular column forTime Outmagazine, and is the author ofThe Literary Guide to London. Glinert's latest book, TheLondon Compendium, is published by Penguin.

Notă biografică

Arthur Conan Doyle wurde am 22. Mai 1859 in Edinburgh, Schottland geboren und starb am 7. Juli 1930 in Crowborough in England. Er war ein britischer Arzt und Schriftsteller.

Doyle war eines von zehn Kindern des schottischen Beamten Charles Doyle und dessen irischer Frau Mary. Der Vater war ein alkoholabhängiger Epileptiker, doch streng katholisch. So besuchte Doyle die Jesuitenschule, bevor er in Edinburgh Medizin studierte.

1885 heiratete er Louise Hawkins, mit der er zwei Kinder bekam. Er praktizierte einige Jahre als Arzt, widmete sich aber bereits nebenbei dem Schreiben. 1887, mit 28 Jahren, veröffentlichte er seine erste Sherlock Holmes-Detektivgeschichte. Inzwischen nach London umgezogen, konnte er ab 1891 allein von der Schriftstellerei leben. Zwei Jahre lang erschienen die Holmes-und-Watson-Geschichten in Zeitschriften, bevor Doyle aus Zeitgründen beschloss, seinen Protagonisten sterben zu lassen.

In den folgenden Jahren verfasste er historische Romane, unternahm eine gewagte Skiexpedition in der Schweiz und diente im Burenkrieg in Südafrika als Lazarett-Arzt. Eine Typhus-Erkrankung brachte Doyle wieder zum Romanschreiben: Es entstand einer seiner bekanntesten Romane, "The Hound of the Baskervilles", wieder mit Sherlock Holmes.

1906 starb Doyles erste Frau. Er heiratete ein Jahr später erneut und bekam drei weitere Kinder. 1912 erschien "The Lost World" mit Doyles zweiter populärer Figur, Professor Challenger. Ab 1918 wendete sich Doyle dem Mystizismus und Spiritismus zu, vermutlich aus Trauer über seinen im Ersten Weltkrieg gefallenen Sohn.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle starb am 7. Juli 1930 an einer Herzkrankheit in seinem Haus in Crowborough, Sussex. Zahlreiche seiner Werke wurden bis heute mehrmals verfilmt.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life.' In Arthur Conan Doyle's A Study in Scarlet a popular cultural phenomenon is born. We meet two of the most famous characters in modern literary history: the consulting detective Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, an army doctor home on sick leave, for the first time. Through Watson we learn a little about the eccentric figure who is his new room-mate at 221B Baker Street, before they encounter their first case: an American visitor to the city has been killed in an empty house off the Brixton Road, and the only clue the police have is the mysterious word 'Rache', scrawled in blood-red letters on the wall. As Holmes sets to work with his unique forensic methods, behind the murder a tangled skein of love, religion, and revenge gradually unwinds, taking us from the streets of London to the Utah Territory, and back again. As Nicholas Daly's Introduction describes, out of this gripping tale grew the Holmes and Watson stories that would make Conan Doyle the best-paid author of his time. His creations have become household words, inspiring not only countless adaptations and imitations, but a Sherlock Holmes museum, Sherlock Holmes-themed pubs, and a whole array of Holmesian merchandise, from cushions to jigsaw puzzles. Here, though, we meet Holmes and Watson before they became famous, and we can see how their extraordinary impact on our popular culture derives from the late-Victorian world from which they emerge.
