Arthur Conan Doyle was born into an Irish Catholic family known for his achievements in art and literature. “A real love of literature, a penchant for writing comes from me, I believe, from my mother,” wrote Conan Doyle in his autobiography. Vivid images of the stories that she told me in early childhood completely replaced in my memory the memories of specific events in my life in those years.
Arthur's school life was spent at Godder Preparatory School. When the boy was 9 years old, wealthy relatives offered to pay for his education and sent him for the next seven years to the Jesuit College Stonyhurst, from where the future writer brought out hatred of religious and class prejudices, as well as physical punishment. At the boarding school, Doyle enjoyed playing sports, and also discovered the talent of a storyteller, gathering around him peers who listened to stories for hours on the go.
As a third-year student at the University of Edinburgh, Doyle decided to try his hand at literature. His first story is "The Mystery of the Sesass Valley", the second is "American History." In February 1880, Doyle spent seven months in Arctic waters as a ship's doctor aboard the whaling ship Hope, receiving a total of £ 50 for his work. “I boarded this ship as a big, clumsy youth, and came down the ladder as a strong adult man,” he later wrote in his autobiography.
After receiving a university degree and a bachelor of medicine in 1881, Conan Doyle took up medical practice, first jointly, then individual. Finally, in 1891, Doyle decided to make literature his main profession. In those days he met his future wife Louise "Tui" Hawkins; the wedding took place on August 6, 1885.
The outbreak of World War I completely turned Conan Doyle's life upside down. First, he volunteered for the front. After this proposal was rejected, he devoted himself to journalistic activities. In 1916, Conan Doyle rode through the fighting positions of the British troops and visited the Allied armies, considering it his duty to maintain the morale of the soldiers. Doyle's brother, son and two nephews went to the front and died there. This was the strongest shock for the writer and left a heavy stamp on all his further literary activities.
The writer spent the entire second half of the 1920s traveling, without stopping his active journalistic activity. His last trip to Scandinavia undermined his health. The next spring he spent in bed, surrounded by loved ones. At some point, there was an improvement: the writer immediately went to London to demand from the Minister of the Interior the abolition of laws that persecuted mediums. This effort was the last: in the early morning of July 7, 1930, at his home in Crowborough, Sussex, Conan Doyle died of a heart attack. He was buried near his garden house.
The first story in the series The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Scandal in Bohemia, was published in The Strand in 1891. The prototype of the protagonist, who soon became a legendary detective-consultant, was Joseph Bell, a professor at the University of Edinburgh, famous for his ability to guess the character and past of a person in the smallest detail.
“He was over six feet tall, but with his extraordinary thinness he seemed even taller. His gaze was sharp, piercing, except for those periods of numbness, which were mentioned above; a thin aquiline nose gave his face an expression of lively energy and determination. A square, slightly protruding chin also spoke of a decisive character. " On his first meeting with Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson describes the great detective as a tall, thin young man:
Over the course of two years, Doyle created story after story, and eventually began to feel weary about his own character. His attempt to "end" Holmes in a fight with Professor Moriarty ("Holmes's Last Case") was unsuccessful: the hero, beloved by the reading public, had to be "resurrected". Holmes's epic culminated in the novel The Dog of the Baskervilles, which is classified as a classic of the detective genre.
Four novels are dedicated to the adventures of Sherlock Holmes: "Study in Crimson", "The Sign of Four", "The Hound of the Baskervilles", "Valley of Horror" and five collections of stories. The extraordinary popularity of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson gradually grew into a branch of new mythology, the center of which remains to this day an apartment in London at 221-b Baker Street.
The first performer of Holmes on the Russian stage was Boris Glagolin, an artist of the Suvorin Theater in St. Petersburg. He, playing Holmes, "transformed from old to young and back, acting dexterously, quickly and clearly." Critics believed that Holmes was perceived by the public as "the genius of the almighty police, reasonable, fair, incorruptible", that the success of the performance was determined by "the yearning of bourgeois society in order", but Glagolin saw in Holmes not a defender of police reaction, but a good-natured voluntary fighter for order and justice ...
Ambassador Brenton in particular Ambassador Brenton said in particular to Mr Livanov: he said to Mr Livanov: “When I was a child, I loved Sherlock Holmes very much, and after watching your films, I can say that you are very similar to him. This is exactly what he was! "
A monument to the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and detective Sherlock Holmes and his permanent assistant Dr. Watson was opened to Dr. Watson was opened near the embassy building near the British embassy on Smolenskaya Embankment Smolenskaya Embankment in Moscow A legend is associated with him. A legend is associated with him. It turns out that if you sit down It turns out that if you sit next to Dr. Watson and next to Dr. Watson and hold on to his notebook, hold on to his notebook, all problems and a book, all problems and doubts will be resolved. But if you touch the phone, doubts will be resolved. But if you touch the pipe of the famous detective, your worries will noticeably increase. the famous detective - worries will increase significantly.
In 2007, the New Zealand Mint issued a commemorative series of four silver coins dedicated to the book's anniversary. The reverse of each coin depicts the main characters of the famous "Notes" performed by Russian actors: Livanov, Solomin, Mikhalkov, Zelenaya and others.

Journalists say they would rather interview an escaped alligator than him. A rare combination of observation, iron logic and unusual imagination, there are no tasks that his inventive mind could not solve.

Acquaintance
One day, when I came to the library, I saw an old leather-bound book on the shelf. Taking it, I saw a beautiful inscription: Arthur Kona Doyle. I brought this book home and started reading. It contained stories about the shrewd detective Sherlock Holmes. He investigated various crimes in which the police threw up their hands and said: "We can do nothing to help." Sherlock Holmes could determine by a small nail who this person was, what he was doing, where he came from ... And therefore, not a single criminal escaped the deserved punishment. I really liked Sherlock Holmes for his intelligence and ability to build a logical chain, and Conan Doyle became my favorite writer. I wanted to know more about this writer.
Slide 3
Young years
The real name of the writer is Arthur Ignatius Konan Doyle. Born in Edinburgh (Scotland) on May 22, 1859, the son of Irish Catholics, known for his achievements in art and literature. Father Charles Altamont Doyle, an architect and artist, at the age of 22, married 17-year-old Mary Foley, who was passionate about books and had a great talent for storytelling. The family of the future writer was in serious financial difficulties. And at the age of 9, wealthy relatives sent Arthur to a closed boarding school, where he discovered his talent as a storyteller and disliked religious class prejudices, as well as physical punishment. In 1876, Arthur graduated from college and returned home. Doyle opted for a medical career and entered the University of Edinburgh. There he also wrote his first story. And in 1880 he sailed for 7 months on a whaling ship as a doctor. And having received a university diploma and a bachelor's degree in medicine in 1881, he took up practice.
Slide 4
Literary life.
In February 1888, A. Conan Doyle completed work on the novel "Micah Clark", which narrated the "Monmouth Rebellion" in 1685, the purpose of which was to overthrow King James II. The novel was released in November and was warmly received by critics. From that moment on, a conflict arose in Conan Doyle's creative life: on the one hand, the public and publishers demanded new works about Sherlock Holmes; on the other hand, the writer himself was increasingly striving to gain recognition as the author of serious novels (primarily historical ones), as well as plays and poems. The first serious historical work of Conan Doyle is considered to be the novel "The White Detachment". With some admission, the novel "Rodney Stone" (1896) can also be classified as historical: the action takes place here in the early 19th century, Napoleon and Nelson, the playwright Sheridan are mentioned.
Slide 5
In 1900, Conan Doyle returned to medical practice: as a surgeon in a military field hospital, he went to the Boer War. His 1902 book, The War in South Africa, met with warm approval from conservative circles. As a result of his activities in 1907, an appellate court was created in England, which did not exist before. In 1909, events in Africa again fell into the sphere of public and political interests of Conan Doyle. This time he came out with an exposure of the brutal colonial policy of Belgium in the Congo and criticized the British position on this issue. In 1912, Conan Doyle published the science fiction novel The Lost World (subsequently filmed more than once), followed by The Poisoned Belt (1913). The protagonist of both works was Professor Challenger, a fanatic scientist, endowed with grotesque qualities, but at the same time humane and charming in his own way.
Slide 6
The outbreak of World War I completely turned Conan Doyle's life upside down. At first, he volunteered for the front, being confident that his mission was to set a personal example of heroism and service to the motherland. After this offer was rejected, he devoted himself to journalism. Beginning on August 8, 1914, his letters on the military theme appeared in the London Times. He proposed to create a massive combat reserve and detachments of the civilian population to carry out "the service of guarding railway stations and vital facilities, help in the construction of fortifications and carry out many other combat missions." Back in Crowborough (Sussex), Doyle personally set about organizing such troops and on the very first day put 200 people under arms. In 1916, the writer drove through the combat positions of British troops and visited the Allied armies. The result of the trip was the book On Three Fronts (1916). In 1924, Conan Doyle's autobiographical book Memories and Adventures was published. The last major work of the writer was the science fiction story "Marakotova Abyss" (1929).
Slide 7
Last years
The writer spent the entire second half of the 1920s on travel, visited all continents, without stopping his active journalistic activity. After this trip, the writer's health sharply deteriorated. At some point there was an improvement, and Conan Doyle went to London, but, alas, in the early morning of July 7, 1930 at his home in Crowborough (Sussex). Conan Doyle died of a heart attack. He was buried near his garden house. On the tombstone, at the request of the widow, only the writer's name, date of birth and four words were engraved: Steel True, Blade Straight ("Faithful as steel, straight as a blade").

1. Word of the teacher.
- Before starting today's lesson, let's turn to literary dictionaries and find out what the genre of fiction is. We have often met with elements of the fantastic in myths and fairy tales, but today we will get acquainted with another kind of science fiction - science fiction. So what is it?
Fiction - genre of fiction, cinema and fine arts; its aesthetic basis is the category of the fantastic, which is in violation of the framework, boundaries, and rules of the real. the origins of fiction lie in myth, a folk tale (mostly magic), to a lesser extent - in the religious and mythological images of the Bible.
In the 20th century, in the era of the triumph of science, science fiction came to the fore, and by the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century, classical science fiction began to give way to the fantasy genre.
Sci-fi genre
- a type of fiction, where the basis of the work is a scientific or technical problem, the implementation of which can be assumed in the future.
There are currently three main genres of fiction - science fiction, fantasy, horror. The main fantasy genres of the past are fantasy travel and utopia.

5. “Ugly creatures have appeared on the path. Where have I seen this freak ... It's a stegosaurus. The stegosaurus stood next to me for about five minutes.
6. “I heard strange sounds from behind. My heart sank in my chest at the thought that someone was chasing me. Only flight could save me. My legs gave way, and I ran, ran with horror. "
7. "And suddenly a deafening crack, I fly into the abyss, and then darkness and emptiness of oblivion ... When I woke up from a swoon ... The pit was deep, with steep edges and a flat bottom, twenty feet in diameter."
