Perihal pengarang
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a British author best known for creating the iconic detective character Sherlock Holmes. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Doyle pursued a medical degree at the University of Edinburgh, where he began crafting stories. His literary career was initially marked by a series of historical novels and short stories but it was the creation of Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. John H. Watson in 'A Study in Scarlet' (1887) that cemented his place in the literary canon. 'The Sign of the Four' (1890), the second novel featuring the consulting detective, further expanded the Holmes mythos, introducing complex narratives of crime and mystery that enthralled readers. Doyle's narrative style combined meticulous plotting with an astute understanding of the human psyche, a reflection of his medical background. His works transcended the crime genre, exhibiting a profound influence on the development of detective fiction. Despite a prolific career that encompassed numerous works of science fiction, historical novels, plays, romances, poetry, and non-fiction, it was Sherlock Holmes who overshadowed Doyle's other achievements. Doyle's contributions to literature were recognized by his knighthood in 1902. Today, Doyle's work remains a touchstone for mystery writers and enthusiasts, continuing to be celebrated for its ingenuity, wit, and enduring appeal.
