побыстрей Sherlock Holmes, the world's best-known detective.
Sherlock Holmes fans are already looking forward to 2020, because there's going be a whole new season of the BBC's Sherlock series, which shows the master of detective transported into the 21st century. Although the BBC series is set in the present day, the detective is still basically the Sherlock Holmes his fans love: an eccentric master of deduction. The original Holmes appeared in 60 works - four novels and five volumes of short stories - written by Conan Doyle between 1887 and 1927.to
6 Although his detective lives in London, the author himself was a Scot, born in Edinburgh in 1859. Arthur Conan Doyle trained as a doctor at Edinburgh University, where he met Joseph Bell, a doctor with an incredible ability to diagnose diseases by observing details. He also liked to show off and guess a person's job by observing tiny details most people would miss. Bell was the inspiration for Holmes. 2 After training, Arthur Conan Doyle worked as a doctor on a ship before opening a
practice in Portsmouth. He had completed his first stories as a medical student and carried
on writing while trying to start his career in medicine. He achieved his breakthrough as an
[12.04, 18:37] Vlad Makarov: author in 1886, with 'A study in Scarlet', the novel that introduced Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. The pair are a model for many later detective story characters. There is often one brilliant character who makes all the clever deductions, and a loyal, less intelligent partner. He may not be as intelligent as Holmes, but Dr John Watson plays a very important role: he is the narrator. He is with Holmes all the time, sees the same clues and events, but unlike the detective, he can't make any deductions from them. Watson is like the reader. He is also a warmer, more human character than the logical and unemotional master detective. Despite the success of Sherlock Homes, who shared a flat with Dr Watson at 221b
Baker Street, smoked a pipe, played the violin and took cocaine, Conan Doyle got bored of writing these stories and decided to kill his detective. In 'The Final Problem', written in 1893, Holmes dies in a fight with his arch-enemy Professor Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland. Fans were shocked. Some people wore black armbands; others wrote letters to the author, begging him to bring Holmes back. But Arthur Conan Doyle stayed firm until 1901, when he produced The Hound of the Baskervilles'. Holmes went on to solve many more cases until 1927, three years before
the author died. The new Holmes is different in many ways. This Sherlock is young, cool and good-looking. He rushes around London taking taxis instead of horse-drawn carriages 13. Dr Watson is thoroughly up-to-date as well: he tells us about his adventures in
a blog. The 21st century Moriarty is younger, scarier and crazier. If you want to appreciate the witty dialogue, try to watch the series in English on DVD or one of the streaming services.
