520 " As a young medical student, Arthur Conan Doyle studied
in Edinburgh under the vigilant eye of a diagnostic genius,
Dr. Joseph Bell. Doyle often observed Bell identifying a
patient's occupation, hometown, and ailments from the
smallest details of dress, gait, and speech. Although
Doyle was training to be a surgeon, he was meanwhile
cultivating essential knowledge that would feed his
literary dreams and help him develop the most iconic
detective in fiction. Michael Sims traces the circuitous
development of Conan Doyle as the father of the modern
mystery, from his early days in Edinburgh surrounded by
poverty and violence, through his escape to University
(where he gained terrifying firsthand knowledge of
poisons), leading to his own medical practice in 1882.
Five hardworking years later -- after Doyle's only modest
success in both medicine and literature -- Sherlock Holmes
emerged in A Study in Scarlet. Sims deftly shows Holmes to
be a product of Doyle's varied adventures in his personal
and professional life, as well as built out of the
traditions of Edgar Allan Poe, Émile Gaboriau, Wilkie
Collins, and Charles Dickens -- not just a skillful
translator of clues, but a veritable superhero of the mind
in the tradition of Doyle's esteemed teacher. Filled with
details that will surprise even the most knowledgeable
Sherlockian, Arthur and Sherlock is a literary genesis
story for detective fans everywhere. "--|cProvided by
