À propos de l'auteur
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a prolific Scottish author best known for his iconic creation, Sherlock Holmes. However, his literary repertoire extended far beyond the fog-laced streets of Victorian London. Doyle's foray into historical novels is exemplified by works like 'Sir Nigel' (1906), which offers readers a vivid portrayal of chivalry and adventure during the Hundred Years' War. A physician by trade, Doyle inflected his writing with a meticulous attention to detail, a skill honed from his medical background. His narrative craft often combined his interest in science with the mystical, weaving tales that have captivated audiences for over a century. Doyle's contribution to the detective genre redefined storytelling, with his deductive methods influencing innumerable authors and establishing conventions still adhered to in modern detective literature. While Sherlock Holmes remains his most enduring legacy, Doyle's other works, such as 'Sir Nigel', demonstrate his versatility and depth as a writer, reflecting the historical awareness and social commentary of his era. Doyle's literary style, marked by a blend of fast-paced adventure and complex characters, continues to engage scholars and enthusiasts, cementing his place in the pantheon of great British authors.
