John Thorndyke's Cases

Autor R. Austin Freeman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 noi 2018
Dr. Richard Austin Freeman MRCS LSA (11 April 1862 - 28 September 1943) was a British writer of detective stories, mostly featuring the medico-legal forensic investigator Dr. Thorndyke. He invented the inverted detective story (a crime fiction in which the commission of the crime is described at the beginning, usually including the identity of the perpetrator, with the story then describing the detective's attempt to solve the mystery). Roberts said that this invention was Freeman's most noticeable contribution to detective fiction. Freeman used some of his early experiences as a colonial surgeon in his novels. Many of the Dr. Thorndyke stories involve genuine, but sometimes arcane, points of scientific knowledge, from areas such as tropical medicine, metallurgy and toxicology.
Freeman was a significant author of detective fiction in his day. He was most famous for his creation of Dr. Thorndyke, and many of the obituaries recording his death refer to this in the obituary headline. Thus the Birmingham Daily Gazette announced "Dr. Thorndyke" Creator Dead, the Belfast News-Letter announced Obituary Dr. R. A. Freeman, Creator of "Dr. Thorndyke", and the Evening Star (Dunedin) announced Obituary: Creator of Dr. Thorndyke.
Critical comment has tended to concentrate on four aspects of Thorndyke: Freeman's quality as a writer; the close attention to logic, scientific accuracy and methods in his stories; the invention of the inverted detective story, and comparisons with Sherlock Holmes. The Times considered that the second and third of these were what singled Freeman out from the ruck. (wikipedia.org)

Notă biografică

Dr. Richard Austin Freeman (born 11 April 1862-died September 28, 1943). He was a British author of detective stories, for the medico-legal forensic investigator Dr. Thorndyke. He created the confusing detective story, a crime fiction wherein the commission of the crime is portrayed toward the start, normally including the personality of the culprit, with the story, then, later describing the detective's attempt to settle the mystery. This innovation has been portrayed as Freeman's most notable contribution to investigator fiction. 30 Freeman involved some of his initial experiences as a colonial surgeon in his books. Various of Dr. Thorndyke's stories include genuine, though sometimes arcane, points of scientific knowledge from regions like tropical medicine, metallurgy, and toxicology.
