Sull'Autore

The most famous fictional detective in the world is Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. However, Doyle was, at best, ambivalent about his immensely successful literary creation and, at worst, resentful that his more "serious" fiction was relatively ignored. Born in Edinburgh, Doyle studied mostra altro medicine from 1876 to 1881 and received his M.D. in 1885. He worked as a military physician in South Africa during the Boer War and was knighted in 1902 for his exceptional service. Doyle was drawn to writing at an early age. Although he attempted to enter private practice in Southsea, Portsmouth, in 1882, he soon turned to writing in his spare time; it eventually became his profession. As a Liberal Unionist, Doyle ran, unsuccessfully, for Parliament in 1903. During his later years, Doyle became an avowed spiritualist. Doyle sold his first story, "The Mystery of the Sasassa Valley," to Chambers' Journal in 1879. When Doyle published the novel, A Study in Scarlet in 1887, Sherlock Holmes was introduced to an avid public. Doyle is reputed to have used one of his medical professors, Dr. Joseph Bell, as a model for Holmes's character. Eventually, Doyle wrote three additional Holmes novels and five collections of Holmes short stories. A brilliant, though somewhat eccentric, detective, Holmes employs scientific methods of observation and deduction to solve the mysteries that he investigates. Although an "amateur" private detective, he is frequently called upon by Scotland Yard for assistance. Holmes's assistant, the faithful Dr. Watson, provides a striking contrast to Holmes's brilliant intellect and, in Doyle's day at least, serves as a character with whom the reader can readily identify. Having tired of Holmes's popularity, Doyle even tried to kill the great detective in "The Final Problem" but was forced by an outraged public to resurrect him in 1903. Although Holmes remained Doyle's most popular literary creation, Doyle wrote prolifically in other genres, including historical adventure, science fiction, and supernatural fiction. Despite Doyle's sometimes careless writing, he was a superb storyteller. His great skill as a popular author lay in his technique of involving readers in his highly entertaining adventures.

Breve biografia
Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle 22 May 1859 – 7 July 1930 was a British writer and medical doctor. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 when 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; other than Holmes stories, his 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" (1884), helped to popularise the mystery of the Mary Celeste.
Nota di disambiguazione
Adrian Conan Doyle and Arthur Conan Doyle are not the same person. Please do not combine them. Thank you. Arthur was the father, Adrian the son. For the same reason, do not combine "A. Conan Doyle" with Adrian or Arthur, as that could refer to either one of them.

Recensioni

In questo romanzo fa il suo esordio Sherlock Holmes, una delle creazioni più geniali della letteratura gialla e non solo.
Il lettore è talmente affascinato dal carisma dell'investigatore e dai suoi metodi prodigiosi che non solo gli altri personaggi impallidiscono al confronto, ma la stessa vicenda passa in secondo piano. D'altronde Conan Doyle è più un narratore che un giallista: la sua attenzione è focalizzata sulle capacità analitiche di Holmes e sui motivi e le passioni che hanno portato al delitto, creando un background credibile e coinvolgente; non c'è suspense e l'identità dell'assassino è una curiosità quasi marginale.
La prosa è semplice, ma elegante: ulteriore conferma che è un'opera letteraria e non un semplice prodotto di intrattenimento.
Uno studio in rosso è un must per gli amanti del giallo, ma direi anche per gli amanti della buona letteratura

Per Natale mi sono letta questo libriccino contenente due brevi racconti di Arthur Conan Doyle, Un Natale esplosivo, che dà il titolo alla raccolta, e Lo studio di Crabbe. Non avevo mai letto nulla di suo al di fuori di Sherlock Holmes e, immaginando l’espressione seccata ACD, che non sopportava di essere diventato celebre per i suoi gialli, ho pensato di lanciarmi in questa lettura insolitamente natalizia.

Innanzi tutto, ACD mi ha fatto morire dal ridere: entrambi i racconti sono molto divertenti e il primo è particolarmente azzeccato se non siete persone dallo spiccato spirito natalizio (prendete nota per il prossimo Natale).

Inoltre, amando molto Sherlock Holmes (sorry, ACD), ho ritrovato quello stile scientifico nella penna dell’autore e mi ha fatto molto piacere. Si parla pur sempre di dottori e persone dai bizzarri interessi...

Una narrazione che trasporta immediatamente nel suo strato più esaltante.
Letto tutto d'un fiato in un periodo della vita in cui probabilmente avevo bisogno di un po' d'azione al di là dei libri universitari.
Un'ottima compagnia, anche se avrei voluto che durasse di più!
In ogni caso, Sherlock Holmes rimane uno dei personaggi più interessanti ed entusiasmanti di sempre! ♥

Con La Valle della Paura, Arthur Conan Doyle torna alle origini dei primi libri su Sherlock Holmes, costruendo un romanzo e non una raccolta di racconti, nei quali per me riesce meglio (tranne che ne Il mastino dei Baskerville, che è davvero superlativo).

In effetti, anche La Valle della Paura è molto bello, ma soprattutto nella prima parte: nella seconda, invece, si perde tensione e interesse, perché è il racconto di come si è arrivati al delitto (che Holmes risolve, come al solito, brillantemente).

Parlando della prima parte, l’ho trovata molto ironica, con un Holmes così in forma da dare sui nervi al paziente Watson, che però, proprio come noi, alla fine non può fare a meno di volergli bene e di riconoscere il suo genio, anche se emotivamente bislacco.

«Un manubrio, Watson! Penso a un atleta con un solo manubrio. Immagini lo sviluppo unilaterlae dei muscoli, il pericolo imminente di una scoliosi. Scandaloso, Watson, scandaloso!»

Questa citazione non sarà la più significativa del romanzo, ma mi ha fatto davvero morire dal ridere (soprattutto se ripenso allo sconforto di Watson che continua a non capire una mazza), insieme a Holmes che nel cuore della notte sveglia il povero dottore per chiedergli se ha problemi a dormire con un tizio rincoglionito solo perché non aveva capito al volo il mistero!

La seconda parte, invece, venuta meno la curiosità del colpevole risulta un po’ piatta, sebbene si redima nel finale con un plot twist di tutto rispetto. Però, Arthur Conan Doyle non è riuscito a farmi appassionare alla storia: sarà stata la carenza di Holmes?
