THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES / THE CLASSICS

Doyle, Arthur Conan

Εκδότης Brainfood Ekδotikh , ISBN 9786185903015

The Hound of the Baskervilles, one of the best known of the Sherlock Holmes novels, was written by Arthur Conan Doyle in 1901. It was published as book in 1902. It was the first Sherlock Holmes tale since the detective's rather shocking death in the story "The Final Problem" but was set prior to his demise. It must be noted that the popularity of The Hound of the Baskervilles was such that it helped pave the way for Holmes's reappearance in later works. Based on a local legend of a spectral hound that haunted Dartmoor in Devonshire, England, it is set in the moors of Baskerville Hall, and the action takes place mostly at night, when the terrifying hound howls for blood. In this book, Arthur Conan Doyle, for the first time, truly emphasized the eerie setting and mysterious atmosphere rather than the hero's deductive genius. One of the all-time classic mysteries, the novel was extremely popular as readers rejoiced at the return of Sherlock Holmes.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a literary genius and master storyteller whose name is forever etched in history as the creator of the world's greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes. Born in the enchanting city of Edinburgh, Scotland, Doyle's journey began as a medical student at the prestigious University of Edinburgh. But it was his boundless imagination and gift for captivating tales that would change the face of literature forever.

Συγγραφέας

Ο Άρθουρ Κόναν Ντόιλ γεννήθηκε στο Εδιμβούργο το 1859. Σπούδασε ιατρική, την οποία όμως γρήγορα εγκατέλειψε για χάρη της λογοτεχνίας, έχοντας τη φιλοδοξία, αρχικά, να γίνει γνωστός γράφοντας ιστορικά μυθιστορήματα και δοκίμια. Έγραψε διηγήματα και μυθιστορήματα ιστορικά, αστυνομικά, μυστηρίου και αγωνίας, επιστημονικής φαντασίας, ιστορικές μελέτες, καθώς επίσης και ένα δίτομο έργο για τον πνευματισμό. Ήταν όμως ο περίφημος Σέρλοκ Χολμς, που πρωτοεμφανίστηκε στο μυθιστόρημά του "Σπουδή στο κόκκινο", το 1887, που τον έκανε ευρύτερα γνωστό. Ο Ντόιλ επηρεάστηκε από τον Έντγκαρ Άλαν Πόε και τον Γουίλκι Κόλινς, χρησιμοποίησε όμως επιστημονική μεθοδολογία και τεχνογνωσία για να δημιουργήσει μυθιστορήματα που ικανοποιούν πλήρως τους αναγνώστες, οι οποίοι επιζητούν αληθοφάνεια και δικαίωση του καλού. Το 1902 χρίστηκε ιππότης (λαμβάνοντας τον τίτλο του Σερ). Πέθανε στις 7 Ιουλίου 1930.
