About 'sir arthur conan'|"The Horror of the Heights" (1913) by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle up on Fantastic Worlds








On               October               16,               1892               the               New               York               Times               reported               the               release               of               a               new               novel,               The               Adventures               of               Sherlock               Holmes               by               Sir               Arthur               Conan               Doyle.

Doyle               was               no               stranger               to               the               reading               public               nor               was               Sherlock               Holmes               who               had               been               introduced               by               Doyle               in               his               1888               book               A               Study               in               Scarlet.

The               Adventures               of               Sherlock               Holmes               was               released               in               England               on               October               14               and               in               the               US               on               October               15.

It               featured               12               stories               about               the               super               sleuth.
               In               general               the               book               was               well               received               as               "amusing"               and               written               "in               good               style"               however,               some               critics               considered               it               suited               only               for               the               masses               or               as               the               French               referred               to               them,               the               gobe               mouches               (gullible).
               Part               in               jest               part               serious,               it               was               noted               that               Sir               Arthur               had               fled               to               Switzerland               to               avoid               the               wrath               of               Londoners               who               were               weary               of               Sherlock               Holmes's               "perspicacity"               (deductive               prowess)-not               because               they               disliked               the               books               but               because               readers               all               over               London               were               irritating               other               folk               with               Holmes-like               behavior.
               For               example,               a               man               would               meet               a               friend               and               notice               the               friend's               left               shoe-string               untied.

Instantly               drawing               upon               his               Sherlock               Holmes               the               man               would               say               something               like               "Oh,               I               see               that               your               wife's               aunt               has               gone               over               to               the               Church               of               Rome,               and               that               you               have               put               up               blue               curtains               in               your               dining               room."
               It               was               said               that               nine               out               10               men               and               women               in               London               were               in               some               manner               imitating               Holmes               and               would               either               be               driven               to               the               insane               asylum               or               murdered               by               the               one               of               10               sensible               folk               who               was               being               driven               crazy               themselves.
               Those               people               were               probably               joyous               when               in               1893               Doyle               "killed"               Sherlock               Holmes               in               his               book               The               Final               Problem.

Over               20,000               people               were               outraged.

In               September               1894               Doyle               sailed               to               New               York               City               and               returned               to               England               by               Christmas.
               In               1901               Doyle               published               a               Sherlock               Holmes               "prequel",               The               Hound               of               the               Baskervilles.

Doyle               avoided               a               resurrection               of               his               hero               by               writing               the               story               as               if               it               had               taken               place               before               Holmes's               death               as               told               in               1893.

The               Hound               of               the               Baskervilles               was               an               instant               success               and               is               still               enjoyed               around               the               world               today.
               In               1912               Doyle               introduced               the               world               to               his               latest               book               The               Lost               World               and               his               newest               character,               Dr.

Challenger.

In               The               Lost               World,               Dr.

Challenger               finds               himself               in               a               remote               area               of               South               American               where               he               discovers               a               prehistoric               land               complete               with               dinosaurs               and               their               native               flora.

Yes;               Michael               Crichton               "borrowed"               from               Conan               for               his               Jurassic               Park               series.
               Doyle               wrote               additional               Sherlock               Holmes               and               Dr.

Challenger               books-all               a               success.

Then               in               July               1930               Sir               Arthur               Conan               Doyle               was               found               lying               in               his               garden,               clutching               his               chest               with               one               hand               and               a               flower               in               the               other.

He               whispered               to               his               wife,               "You               are               wonderful"               and               then               he               died.

He               was               71               years               old.
               Doyle               was               a               spiritualist               whose               family               was               sure               he'd               contact               them               and               let               them               know               his               whereabouts.

Less               than               a               month               after               his               death,               Doyle's               widow               told               reporters               that               she               had               indeed               been               in               contact               many               times               with               her               dead               husband.

That's               another               story.
               On               Christmas               Day               2009               a               new               film               version               of               Sherlock               Holmes               will               be               released               in               theaters.

The               film               stars               Robert               Downey               Jr.

as               the               deductive               detective               and               Jude               Law               as               Holmes's               dependable               side-kick               Dr.

Watson.
               It               looks               to               be               an               excellent               flick.
