About 'sir arthur conan'|Agatha Christie vs. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle








I               read               my               very               first               Sherlock               story               while               I               was               briefly               living               in               Romania.

It               was               one               of               the               only               books               that               I               found               written               in               English,               and               I               remember               thinking               to               myself               at               the               time,               "Why               didn't               anyone               ever               tell               me               that               these               stories               were               so               good?"               That's               why               I               thought               I               would               write               this               article,               to               give               you               some               reasons               to               go               pick               up               one               or               more               of               these               stories               and               check               them               out.

I               don't               want               to               see               this               classic               literary               figure               lose               steam               and               disappear               in               the               age               of               the               cell               phone               and               the               computer.

But               be               warned,               reading               them               can               become               an               addictive               habit,               and               once               you               get               started,               you               just               may               end               up               with               the               full               collection               and               quite               an               affinity               for               history's               most               famous               sleuth.

Reason               #1:               There's               a               new               Sherlock               Holmes               movie               coming               out,               directed               by               Guy               Ritchie               and               co-starring               Robert               Downey               Jr.

and               Jude               Law.

(There's               also               a               rumored               Judd               Apatow               version               staring               Will               Ferrell               possibly               in               the               works.)               Who               knows               if               it               will               be               any               good               or               not?

But               one               thing's               for               sure,               the               English               have               a               lasting               love               for               this               literary               figure.

In               fact,               so               does               most               of               the               world,               as               he               pops               up               frequently               in               all               kinds               of               films               and               television               shows               and               has               for               many               years               now.

A               character               with               that               type               of               popularity               is               someone               worth               reading               up               on,               fictional               or               not.

Also,               movies               are               far               more               entertaining               when               you               know               about               their               source               material.

Seeing               a               Sherlock               Holmes               movie               without               reading               any               of               the               stories               is               like               going               to               a               concert               where               you               don't               know               the               words               to               any               of               the               songs.

It's               not               nearly               as               fun.
               SIDEBAR:               The               best               Sherlock               Holmes               film               is,               in               my               opinion,               "Without               a               Clue"               starring               Michael               Caine               and               Ben               Kingsley.

It's               not               entirely               loyal               to               the               source               material,               as               it's               a               comedy.

But               it's               a               real               gem.

The               character               of               Dr.

Moriarty               also               appeared               on               "Star               Trek:               The               Next               Generation"               a               handful               of               times.

Sir               Arthur               Conan               Doyle               was               featured               in               the               blink-and-you've               missed               it,               "Shanghai               Knights".

There's               the               "Great               Mouse               Detective"               which               is               a               disguised               version               of               a               Sherlock               Holmes               story               for               kids...and               an               adorable               one               at               that.

There               was               a               tremendously               successful               film               series               starring               Basil               Rathbone               as               Holmes               during               the               1940's               that               are               worth               renting.

There               have               also               been               several               excellent               BBC               versions               of               various               stories.

Gene               Wilder               even               took               a               shot               at               the               story               by               casting               himself               in,               "Sherlock               Holmes               Smarter               Brother"               ,               a               movie               which               he               himself               wrote               and               produced.

I               could               go               on               and               on...but               I               think               you               get               the               point.
               Sherlock               Holmes               has               staying               power               and               mass               appeal,               therefore               there's               a               high               likelihood               you'll               be               entertained.

As               people               who               partake               of               media,               we're               less               likely               to               put               our               movies               to               the               test               before               watching               them               in               the               same               way               that               we               do               our               books               before               reading               them.

Because               they               only               cost               us               a               couple               of               hours.

If               a               movie               flops,               no               big               deal.

If               we               hate               a               book,               we               feel               robbed               of               time.

So               we               often               need               to               know               that               we're               not               taking               a               risk               picking               up               a               book               that               will               waste               hours               of               our               lives.

So               rest               assured,               you               have               my               guarantee               that               these               books               are               a               good               investment               for               your               time.

Because,               among               other               reasons...
               Reason               #2               They're               educational.

Not               in               the               boring               way               either.

You               will               find               that               you               are               accidentally               learning               as               you               read.

Holmes               is               known               for               his               deductive               reasoning               skills,               and               you               may               find               that               you               adopt               them               yourself               and               start               applying               them               in               daily               life.

So               it's               like               learning               without               the               work.

You've               learned               by               accident               by               listening               to               the               way               that               the               cases               are               solved.

In               my               case,               I               found               that               even               as               I               read               along,               the               further               I               got               into               the               stories,               the               more               likely               I               was               to               solve               them               before               their               ending.

You               may               even               want               to               keep               track               of               the               ones               you               figure               out               yourself               as               you               read.

Who               needs               "Brain               Age"               when               you've               got               Sherlock               Holmes               to               help               keep               you               sharp?
               Reason               #3               You               may               develop               a               surprising               affinity               for               British               culture               or               historical               fiction.

The               best               thing               about               the               Sherlock               Holmes               stories               is               that               they               can               take               you               to               a               time               and               place               that               is               entirely               unlike               our               own.

There's               talk               of               tea               and               pipe               tobacco,               gas               lights               and               horse-drawn               carriages               and               lots               of               other               romantic               notions               about               days               long               since               passed.

There's               some               extra               appeal               to               those               of               us               who               are               American,               because               some               of               the               concepts               are               so               foreign.

There               are               British               terms               used,               British               names,               and               lots               of               journeys               to               country               sides               and               manors.

The               same               romantic               view               that               you               can               get               about               France               by               watching               the               glamorized               animated,               "Beauty               and               the               Beast"               can               be               felt               toward               England               when               reading               Sherlock               stories.

(Or               watching               Richard               Curtis               movies.)               Does               it               give               you               an               entirely               historically               accurate               picture?

No.

But               it               can               get               you               interested               in               things               that               you               never               thought               you'd               care               about               at               all.

People               think               that               fiction               is               all               fluff,               but               it               can               lead               you               to               new               discoveries.

It               has               the               same               general               effect               of               picking               up               a               National               Geographic               magazine.

Is               it               entertaining?

Of               course!

But               it's               still               good               for               you.

Like               PBS               or               red               wine.

People               who               enjoy               westerns               may               understand               that               appeal               to               reading               about               or               watching               stories               from               a               different               time.

It               has               an               escapist               quality               that               you               can't               find               in               modern               film               or               fiction.
               Reason               #4               They're               suspenseful.

Yes,               they're               set               in               the               late               1800's               and               early               1900's,               but               they're               still               all               about               murder               and               intrigue.

The               way               some               of               them               are               written               can               be               downright               creepy               as               well.

Ever               been               reading               a               book               and               had               that               sudden               realization               that               you               were               actually               getting               scared?

(Think               of               the               famous               Friends               episode               where               Joey               tells               Rachel               to               read,               "The               Shining".)               These               stories               can               do               that               to               you.

They're               not               all               tea               and               crumpets               just               because               they're               set               in               the               past.

In               fact,               I               wouldn't               recommend               them               to               children               or               people               who               don't               like               gore.

Not               every               story               has               violence,               but               most               of               them               do.

Many               of               them               feature               suspenseful               chase               scenes,               fight               scenes,               races               against               time,               and               menacing               villains.

Just               because               something               is               aged               or               foreign               to               you               doesn't               make               it               boring.
               Reason               #5               Sherlock               Holmes               and               Dr.

Watson,               like               any               good               characters,               are               very               interesting               people.

They               have               flaws,               Holmes               himself               has               a               nasty               addictive               habit.

But               they               also               have               a               unique               friendship               and               some               lovable               qualities.
               Those               are               just               five               reasons               why               you               should               start               reading               Sherlock               Holmes               stories.

But               there               are               many               more,               and               I               guarantee               that               you'll               find               your               own               as               you               start               to               read               them               yourself.

Some               are               adventures,               all               are               mysteries,               but               none               of               them               disappoint.

A               good               place               to               start               would               be               with               some               of               the               shorter               stories               from,               "The               Adventures               of               Sherlock               Holmes".

Good               luck,               and               I               hope               that               you'll               find               221b               Baker               Street               to               be               nice               and               homey.

Watch               out               for               the               fog...you               never               what               lurks               therein.

    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.
