The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard de Arthur Conan Doyle

The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard

Arthur Conan Doyle

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2007

Etienne Gerard is a hero of the French army, a veteran of the Napoleonic wars, and a vain and boastful teller of tales that star himself and his exploits. This collection of satiric short stories, originally published in The Strand magazine in the 1890s, includes: . "How the Brigadier came to the Castle of Gloom" . "How the Brigadier slew the brothers of Ajaccio" . "How the Brigadier held the King" . "How the King held the Brigadier" . "How the Brigadier took the field against the Marshal Millefleurs" . "How the Brigadier played for a kingdom" . "How the Brigadier won his Medal" . "How the Brigadier was tempted by the Devil" Hard to find in print, these lost comic classics from the creator of Sherlock Holmes will delight fans of pulp literature. Scottish surgeon and political activist SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE (1859-1930) turned his passions into stories and novels, producing fiction and nonfiction works sometimes controversial (The Great Boer War, 1900), sometimes fanciful (The Coming of the Fairies, 1922), and sometimes legendary (The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, 1892).

Notă biografică

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859 - 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 about Holmes and Dr. Watson. In addition, Doyle wrote over fifty short stories featuring the famous detective. 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 popularize the mystery of the Mary Celeste.
