Between fairies and Sherlock Holmes

Arthur Conan Doyle
Between fairies and Sherlock Holmes
Arthur Conan Doyle was born on 22 Born May 1859 in Edinburgh
He had an ambivalent relationship with his spiritual child Sherlock
Holmes and paid homage to the occult: Arthur Conan Doyle today would
have been 150 years old.
In London in 1888, the murders of Jack the Ripper, the entire city
held its breath. While the police were groping in the dark, busy at
that time, two different investigators with the sinister case. One is
a brilliant observer with a face like a bird of prey. The other is a
trained physician with a mustache who is avid for criminology. These
were for the forensic investigator Joseph Bell and his former student
Arthur Conan Doyle, the real inspiration for Sherlock Holmes and Dr.
Watson.
Fantasy and reality
At this point, the first Sherlock Holmes story had already been
published, and the author Arthur Conan Doyle gave the parallels to his
teacher in a letter to Joseph Bell to open: "It will be clear to whom
I owe Sherlock Holmes . According to the principles of deduction,
inference and observation, you have impressed us, I've tried to create
a man. "As it seems, but was also the mortal enemy of Holmes after a
real model created. Conan Doyle visited as a child the Sandy Hurst
College, it was proven two pupils with the unusual name "Moriarty". In
the tales of Sherlock Holmes wore 'coequal opponent, the evil
Professor James Moriarty, the name.
In general, the young Arthur seems to have had more experience in
Sandy Hurst, he worked in his later stories. So his dorm was within
earshot of kennels where the hounds were howling through the night
neighboring nobleman. The creepy atmosphere that it was suggested
later in "The Hound of the Baskervilles" down. Sadly, Conan Doyle had
ample time to deal with the dark spot. Because his father was
suffering from depression and alcoholism and the mother wanted to keep
it from him, the young Arthur spent his holidays on the school
grounds. The profound experience with the drink-addicted father, he
worked in the Holmes stories by the figure of the alcoholic brother of
Watson.
Gothic novel or detective story
The deep dark mood of the original Sherlock Holmes novels, which stem
from the childhood experiences of Arthur Conan Doyle's, today's
audiences, however, hardly familiar. In the numerous film adaptations
of the substance were Holmes and Watson portrayed as quirky couple,
with a snobbish one goofy Holmes and Watson. Granted, some scenes from
the original stories and light fare are not for family entertainment.
So learn to know the two main characters, just as Holmes beat up a
corpse. He will be determined this way, if dead people can get
bruising.


Despite or perhaps because of such macabre descriptions of the stories
suggested by Sherlock Holmes, one of its emergence as a time bomb. Due
to the many details, such as the actual existing address in London's
Baker Street 221b, many believed the reader that it was a detective at
the same true for one person. As Conan Doyle, the figure of the
brilliant detective was tired and let him die in 1893, people in
England wore black armbands as a sign of mourning. Conan Doyle had
Sherlock Holmes but later resurrected, but his real interests were
already a very different field.
