Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Arthur Conan Doyle, best known as the creator of the legendary Sherlock Holmes, was much more than a writer of gripping detective yarns. After qualifying as a doctor in Edinburgh and being taught by the charismatic Joseph Bell, on whom the character of Sherlock Holmes is said to be based, Conan Doyle sought adventure through the four corners of the world. For him the publication of his detective stories in The Strand magazine was a mere money spinner to supplement his meagre earnings from medicine. His interest in the occult obsessed him all his life and drew him to characters like Houdini and the girls who 'photographed' the Cottingly fairies. TELLER OF TALES recounts an extraordinary life with real panache.
