Beschreibung

Arthur Conan Doyle's 'The Sherlock Holmes Mysteries' is a collection that includes all 4 novels and 56 short stories featuring the iconic detective Sherlock Holmes and his loyal companion Dr. John Watson. Written in the late 19th and early 20th century, these stories are characterized by Doyle's meticulous attention to detail, complex plots, and sharp observation of human nature. The mysteries are not only entertaining but also offer a glimpse into the social and moral issues of the time period, making them a valuable source for understanding Victorian society. Doyle's engaging writing style, clever dialogue, and intricate puzzles have solidified Sherlock Holmes as one of the most beloved literary characters of all time. Arthur Conan Doyle, a Scottish writer and physician, drew inspiration for his detective stories from his medical background and his experiences as a doctor. His creation of Sherlock Holmes was influenced by his acquaintance with Joseph Bell, a renowned surgeon known for his deductive reasoning skills. Doyle's commitment to his craft and his dedication to creating timeless characters have left a lasting impact on the mystery genre. I highly recommend 'The Sherlock Holmes Mysteries' to any reader who enjoys classic detective fiction, intricate puzzles, and compelling characters. This collection is a must-read for fans of crime fiction and anyone interested in exploring the origins of the genre through Doyle's masterful storytelling.

Autorenportrait

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a British writer, best known for creating the legendary detective character Sherlock Holmes. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Doyle pursued a medical degree at the University of Edinburgh, serving as a ship's surgeon and later setting up his own practice. Despite his medical background, Doyle's true passion lay in storytelling. His first significant success came with the publication of 'A Study in Scarlet' in 1887, introducing Holmes and his companion, Dr. John Watson, to the literary world. This work was followed by a series of novels and short stories, featuring intricate plots and the use of forensic science, which were compiled comprehensively in 'The Sherlock Holmes Mysteries: All 4 novels& 56 Short Stories in One Edition.' Doyle's contribution to detective fiction has been monumental, pioneering techniques that have defined the genre. His sharp, analytical protagonist, coupled with richly drawn settings and twisty mysteries, has enthralled readers and inspired countless adaptations. Beyond Holmes, Doyle wrote across various genres including historical novels and science fiction, but his enduring fame rests on the deductive might of the iconic sleuth from 221B Baker Street. Doyle's literary style was characterized by its clarity, brisk pacing, and an aura of intrigue, captivating readers and setting a standard for mystery writers to follow.

Informationen zu E-Books

„E-Book“ steht für digitales Buch. Um diese Art von Büchern lesen zu können wird entweder eine spezielle Software für Computer, Tablets und Smartphones oder ein E-Book Reader benötigt. Da viele verschiedene Formate (Dateien) für E-Books existieren, gilt es dabei, einiges zu beachten.
Von uns werden digitale Bücher in drei Formaten ausgeliefert. Die Formate sind EPUB mit DRM (Digital Rights Management), EPUB ohne DRM und PDF. Bei den Formaten PDF und EPUB ohne DRM müssen Sie lediglich prüfen, ob Ihr E-Book Reader kompatibel ist. Wenn ein Format mit DRM genutzt wird, besteht zusätzlich die Notwendigkeit, dass Sie einen kostenlosen Adobe® Digital Editions Account besitzen. Wenn Sie ein E-Book, das Adobe® Digital Editions benötigt herunterladen, erhalten Sie eine ASCM-Datei, die zu Digital Editions hinzugefügt und mit Ihrem Account verknüpft werden muss.
