Overview編集

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (アーサー・イグナティウス・コナン・ドイル), born on May 22, 1859, in Edinburgh, Scotland, England, was an English novelist. The title of Sir was conferred upon him in 1902 for publishing a pamphlet defending the British Army and contributing to the honor of the nation. He died on July 7, 1930 at 71 years old.


Doyle was the creator of the world's most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, and one of the founders of the mystery genre.

He was a doctor by profession, but if that had been profitable, Holmes would not have been born.


The great success of the series beginning with A Study in Scarlet brought him great wealth, and Holmes has become synonymous with the great detective and continues to create a large number of devoted fans even today.

However, Doyle's stance on "Holmes stories" was that they were merely entertainment novels. There is an anecdote that he eventually became so fed up with writing them that he tried to kill Holmes in one of his works, but was forced to resurrect him after a storm of criticism from fans.

Doyle himself wanted to succeed in historical fiction, which he considered more elevated, and he published several works, but unfortunately they were not as successful as Holmes'.
