Doctor Watson is a former military doctor, who has served in Afghanistan. They live together in the 221B Baker-Street, which in those days was fictional, until Watson marries and moves out. At home, in the 221B Baker-Street, he often wears his bathrobe. He is a big, gaunt guy wearing a Deerstalker hat and an inverness-coat. Holmes seems like a superman: he is fixed at reasons and shows nearly no interest in women. Sherlock Holmes works as a consulting detective, who helps the as very incompetent represented Scotland Yard. In Doyle’s first Holmes story, “A study in Scarlet”, the detective describes himself as someone who gets in the dumps as times an “ open mouth for days on end”. Holmes draws accurate conclusions about what he sees. This science includes the noticing of things that others simply do not observe. The working-strategy of Holmes, the science of deduction, shows the euphoria for science in the 19th century. The template for the detective Sherlock Holmes was the coroner and teacher of Doyle named Joseph Bell. The individual stories had been serialised in “The Strand Magazine” between June 1891 and July 1892. The first publication of all stories together was on 14th October 1892 in the book called “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes”.
Sherlock is the protagonist of all together 56 short-stories and four novels, written by Doyle. The figure of Sherlock Holmes was invented in 1887 by the doctor Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Enjoy the track down for a historical hero in the modern civilisation! 2. At the end a comparison will bring the juxtaposition. Is this possible? Is the probably most famous crime character from the Victorian age survivable in London now? Work the legendary stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle today, too? Has Sherlock the instinct for the current high-tech-criminology? I like to answer these questions in the following elaboration.įirst there will be a summary of Doyle’s books and then a presentation of some TV-episodes will be given. And then there is the TV-channel BBC, which brought the hero into the televisions of twenty-first-century.
To be honest, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Holmes has never disappeared from our lives. Plaid hat, pipe in the mouth and a magnifying glass in hand- this is today’s image of the master-detective Sherlock Holmes.
