520 An in-depth look at Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional
detective includes tales of unexpected fortune, accidental
romance, and inheritances gone awry, telling of the people
who have transformed Sherlock Holmes over time.
520 "Everyone knows Sherlock Holmes. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
created a unique literary character who has remained
popular for over a century and is appreciated more than
ever today. But what made this fictional character,
dreamed up by a small-town English doctor in the 1880s,
into such a lasting success, despite the author's own
attempt to escape his invention? In From Holmes to
Sherlock, Swedish author and Sherlock Holmes expert
Mattias Bostrom recreates the full story behind the legend
for the first time. From a young Arthur Conan Doyle
sitting in a Scottish lecture hall taking notes on his
medical professor's powers of observation to the pair of
modern-day fans who brainstormed the idea behind the TV
sensation Sherlock, from the publishing world's first
literary agent to the Georgian princess who showed up at
the Conan Doyle estate and altered a legacy, the narrative
follows the men and women who have created and perpetuated
the myth. It includes tales of unexpected fortune,
accidental romance, and inheritances gone awry, and tells
of the actors, writers, readers, and other players who
have transformed Sherlock Holmes from the gentleman
amateur of the Victorian era to the odd genius of today.
Told in fast-paced, novelistic prose, From Holmes to
Sherlock is a singular celebration of the most famous
detective in the world -- a must-read for newcomers and
experts alike"--|cProvided by publisher.
