Sir Arthur Conana Doyle He was born on May 22, 1859 in Edinburgh, Scotland.
During adolescence he studied at the University of Edinburgh School of Medicine where he met the doctor and professor Joseph Bell, who with his insistence on the attention paid to the smallest details of his patients, largely inspired Doyle in his character Sherlock Holmes.
Sir Arthur worked in a practice, was a surgeon and an army doctor. The latter, added to the books he wrote about the war in South Africa, (The war in South Africa: its causes and its development.) and labor was what caused him to be named Sir in 1902.
Doyle began writing for fun to pass the long hours afforded by the few patients who came to the scene. The first Sherlock Holmes novels he wrote were “Study in Scarlet”, in 1887 and “The sign of the four” in 1890. The zenith reached it when publishing “Scandal in Bohemia”. This is why Doyle leaves medicine to devote himself entirely to writing.
Soon the writer got tired of his character and tried to kill him in his novel “The Adventure of the Final Problem”, but the repercussion of the town was such that he was forced to revive Sherlock Holmes who reappears in “The Empty House”.
