    Arthur Conan Doyle was born in 1859 in Edinburgh, Scotland and later used Conan Doyle as his surname. He created the character of Sherlock Holmes in 1880, inspired by his work with Dr. Joseph Bell who was known for making large conclusions from small observations. Sherlock Holmes lived with Dr. John Watson for some time, before and after Watson's marriage, and their friendship was Holmes' most significant relationship. Holmes used abductive reasoning and had eccentric habits, with an untidy lifestyle that allowed him to easily find specific documents when needed for his detective work which Watson would summarize in stories from his point of view.

    Biography of the autor.

    Arthur Conan Doyle was born May 22, 1859 in Edinburgh, Scotland. The family surname had been Doyle, but as an adult Arthur preferred to use Conan Doyle as his surname. He was suddenly an extremely famous writer. The magazine wanted more stories, but as the author didn't want to be
    too associated with the now-famous detective. Sherlock Holmes it was created in 1880.

    Inspirate of the character.


    Sherlock Holmes was inspired by Dr. Joseph Bell, for whom Doyle had worked as a clerk at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. Bell was noted for drawing large conclusions from the smallest observations. Some years later Bell wrote in a letter to Conan Doyle: "you are yourself Sherlock Holmes and well you know it."

    Sherlock Holmes
    An estimate of Holmes's age in the story "His Last Bow" places his birth in 1854. He spent six years of university working as a consulting detective, before financial difficulties led him to take Watson as a roommate, at which point the narrative of the stories begins.

    Watson

    Holmes lives with for some time with Watson, before his marriage in 1887, and again after his wife's death. Holmes's friendship with Watson is his most significant relationship. In several stories, Holmes's fondness for Watson is revealed He gives practical assistance in the conduct of his cases and is the detective's right-hand man. Most of the Holmes stories are frame narratives, written from Watson's point of view as summaries of the detective's most interesting cases.

    Habits and personality


    Watson describes Holmes as "bohemian" in habits and lifestyle. Holmes is an eccentric, with no regard for contemporary standards of tidiness or good order. What appears to others as chaos, however, is to Holmes a wealth of useful information. Holmes would dive into his apparent mess of random papers and artefacts to retrieve precisely the specific document or eclectic item he was looking for.

    Methods of detections
    Holmes's primary intellectual detection method is abductive reasoning. It is interesting to logicians to try to analyse just what Holmes is doing when he performs his "deductions." Holmes displays a strong aptitude for acting and disguise. In several stories, he adopts disguises to gather evidence.
