    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

    Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) descendía de una noble familia irlandesa y cursó estudios de Medicina. Sin embargo, nunca ejerció, pues apenas dos años después de licenciarse en 1885 dio a luz el primero de sus relatos de suspense, Estudio en escarlata (1887). Su éxito fue tan grande e inmediato, que nuestro autor ya no dejaría de escribir. El personaje creado por él, su detective Sherlock Holmes, se hizo famosísimo y protagonizó nada menos que sesenta títulos. Entre los más conocidos se encuentran El perro de los Baskerville, El valle del terror o los relatos incluidos en su libro Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes, publicado en Gribaudo. También cultivó la ciencia ficción, la novela histórica y otros géneros. En 1900 dio a luz su libro más extenso, La guerra de los bóers, y se pronunció en favor de la contienda británica en África. Según su opinión fue esto sobre todo lo que favoreció su nombramiento como caballero de la Orden del Imperio dos años después. Había alcanzado un lugar de prestigio, con apenas cuarenta años. Poco después (1906) murió su esposa Louise Hawkins y se casó con la médium Jean Elizabeth Leckie. Este vínculo con las ciencias ocultas se acrecentó tras la desaparición de su hijo Kingsley en la Primera Guerra Mundial. Del vínculo directo con el espiritismo nació su Historia del espiritismo (1926) así como numerosas polémicas, por ejemplo, contra su amigo Harry Houdini. Fue asimismo aficionado al fútbol, al críquet y al golf, entre otras pasiones. Murió de un ataque al corazón en la ciudad de Crowborough, en donde había residido durante veintitrés años.

    • 3/5
      Sherlock Holmes receives a visit from a man puzzled by the happenings at Wisteria Lodge where he had been a guest. A Spaniard of his acquaintance, a Mr. Garcia, invited him to stay at the lodge. Mr. Scott Eccles awoke that morning to an empty house. Mr. Garcia and his servants had disappeared. The police arrive at Holmes’s lodging shortly after Mr. Scott Eccles to investigate the murder of Mr. Garcia. Holmes pursues a line of inquiry starting at Wisteria Lodge, while the local inspector conducts his own investigation.This is an odd story. Mr. Scott Eccles characterizes the case as “grotesque.” The story includes racial stereotypes that 21st readers will find distasteful. One notable feature of this story is that the local inspector reaches the same conclusion as Holmes in his parallel investigation, unlike the Scotland Yard detectives whom Holmes regularly has to correct

      Despite being very racist and anti-feministic here, it's an interesting tale, well-written but in my eyes quite dull considering the rest of the Canon.
    • 4/5
      Well the Granada series surely toned this one down to a palatable taste. Aside from some parts I liked this one
