Doyle, A: Study in Scarlet


en Limba Engleză Paperback – apr 2024

Londra, 1881. Un medic militar rănit în Afganistan își caută un loc unde să trăiască. Dr. Watson îl întâlnește pe Stamford la Restaurantul Criterion și soarta literaturii se schimbă. Observăm cum o simplă nevoie de a împărți chiria la 221B Baker Street devine fundamentul celui mai faimos parteneriat din istoria genului polițist. Apreciem cum Arthur Conan Doyle introduce un detectiv care nu doar observă, ci analizează, gustă și adulmecă urmele lăsate de crimă. Tensiunea se instalează rapid când bobiții britanici se declară depășiți de un cadavru fără cauze aparente de deces. Holmes numește investigația studiul său în stacojiu: firul roșu al crimei care trebuie extras din ghemul incolor al vieții. Atmosfera te trimite cu gândul la The Sign of the Four, deși structura bicefală a acestui roman marchează o voce proprie. Credem că trecerea bruscă în Partea a II-a, spre câmpiile arzătoare din Utah, este un pariu narativ îndrăzneț. Această lucrare pune bazele universului explorat ulterior în The Return of Sherlock Holmes sau The Hound of the Baskervilles, transformând metoda științifică în instrument de investigație. Ritmul este alert, întrerupt de momente de observație pură, pregătind cititorul pentru o rezolvare ce depășește granițele Londrei victoriene.

Despre autor

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859–1930) a fost un scriitor și medic britanic, a cărui carieră a fost definită de crearea lui Sherlock Holmes în 1887. Deși este celebru pentru cele patru romane și cincizeci și șase de povestiri cu Holmes, Doyle a fost un autor prolific, abordând genuri variate precum science-fiction, prin seria cu Profesorul Challenger, sau ficțiune istorică. Experiența sa medicală a infuzat proza cu o rigoare științifică rară în epocă, transformând personajul său principal într-un simbol global al rațiunii aplicate în rezolvarea crimelor.


Notă biografică

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle KStJ DL (22 May 1859 - 7 July 1930) was a British writer best known for his detective fiction featuring the character Sherlock Holmes. Originally a physician, in 1887 he published A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and more than fifty short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction. Doyle was a prolific writer; his non-Sherlockian works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement", helped to popularise the mystery of the Mary Celeste. Doyle is often referred to as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle or simply Conan Doyle (implying that "Conan" is part of a compound surname as opposed to his given middle name). His baptism entry in the register of St Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh, gives "Arthur Ignatius Conan" as his given names and "Doyle" as his surname. It also names Michael Conan as his godfather.[1] The cataloguers of the British Libraryand the Library of Congress treat "Doyle" alone as his surname. Steven Doyle, editor of The Baker Street Journal, wrote, "Conan was Arthur's middle name. Shortly after he graduated from high school he began using Conan as a sort of surname. But technically his last name is simply 'Doyle'."[3] When knighted, he was gazetted as Doyle, not under the compound Conan Doyle Doyle was born on 22 May 1859 at 11 Picardy Place, Edinburgh, Scotland. His father, Charles Altamont Doyle, was born in England, of Irish Catholic descent, and his mother, Mary (née Foley), was Irish Catholic. His parents married in 1855.[7] In 1864 the family dispersed because of Charles's growing alcoholism, and the children were temporarily housed across Edinburgh. In 1867, the family came together again and lived in squalid tenement flats at 3 Sciennes Place.[8] Doyle's father died in 1893, in the Crichton Royal, Dumfries, after many years of psychiatric illness.
