He has no knowledge of literature, philosophy or astronomy. But his chemistry is strong, anatomy is explicit, remembers every horror committed in detail, and is completely aware of the British Law. Meet Sherlock Holmes, the ruthless and self-disciplined detective who takes up every case as an intellectual challenge. He not only solves mysteries and discovers murderers, thieves and criminals, but also identifies the social injustices and provides a new and just approach to remedy them. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve short stories, many of which were Doyle's favourite.

An exceptionally talented storyteller, Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in May 1859. He began writing while studying at the University of Edinburgh Medical School, which he joined in 1876. Doyle graduated in 1881 and was employed as a surgeon on the steamer Mayumba. Pointing out the social injustices, Holmes offers a new and just approach in a world which is unfair. Sherlock Holmes, the most well-known fictional detective, has been listed with Guiness World Records as the 'most portrayed movie character' in history. Doyle died of a heart attack in July 1930, aged seventy-one.
