Sherlock Holmes

Hi


Ok so today I will post a story about the most famous, realistic but fictional detective in London, Sherlock Holmes. Yeah people, hes not real. Just a character created by a Scottish author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The same conan yg shinichi amek name die dlm manga Conan. That if u like to read manga la. haha.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Holmes ni, who first appeared in publication in 1887, was featured in four novels and 56 short stories. The first story, A Study in Scarlet, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual in 1887 and the second, The Sign of the Four, in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in 1890. The character grew tremendously in popularity with the beginning of the first series of short stories in Strand Magazine in 1891; further series of short stories and two novels published in serial form appeared between then and 1927. The stories cover a period from around 1880 up to 1907, with a final case in 1914. Die di katakn lahir pada 1861 and the last story die pada 1914 which time tu die dah umur 60 kot xsalah.

So antara yg intresting about holmes ialah the story itself was narrated by his own friends and biographer dr. John H Watson. The author sir doyle said that the character was inspired by 2 person. One of them is Dr Joseph Bell when Doyle work as a clerk at Edinburgh Royal Infirmiry. Like Holmes, Bell was noted for drawing large conclusions from the smallest observations. Satu lagi lak Sir Henry Little-John, Lecturer on Forensic Medicine and Public Health at the Royal College of Surgeons, is also cited as a source for Holmes. Little-John served as Police Surgeon and Medical Officer of Health to the City of Edinburgh, Scotland, providing for Doyle a link between medical investigation and the detection of crime.

Ok dalm dunia Sherlock Holmes ni die mula aktiviti detektif ni sejuk undergrad lg di uni of cambridge. Its start with a meeting with his friend's father and made him intrested in being a detective. So mamat ni start his career from an amateur in age of 17 which an average age for an undergraduate time tu. So die ni jadi detektif kecil2an sampai la satu mase die financially x stabil so die kne duduk share bilik. and mase tula die knal dgn his best friend Dr Watson.

Dr watson live with Holmes in 221b, baker street, London until his married in 1887 then move back there after his wife death. Watson has two roles in Holmes's life. First, he gives practical assistance in the conduct of his cases; he is the detective's right-hand man, acting variously as look-out, decoy, accomplice and messenger. Second, he is Holmes's chronicler (his "Boswell" as Holmes refers to him). Most of the Holmes stories are frame narratives, written from Watson's point of view as summaries of the detective's most interesting cases. Holmes is often described as criticising Watson's writings as sensational and populist, suggesting that they neglect to accurately and objectively report the pure calculating "science" of his craft.

Retirement

In "His Last Bow", Holmes has retired to a bee farm on the Sussex Downs in 1903–1904, where he takes up the hobby of beekeeping as his primary occupation, eventually producing a "Practical Handbook of Bee Culture, with some Observations upon the Segregation of the Queen". The story features Holmes and Watson coming out of retirement one last time to aid the war effort. Only one adventure, "The Adventure of the Lion's Mane", which is narrated by Holmes as he pursues the case as an amateur, takes place during the detective's retirement.

Societies

In 1934, the Sherlock Holmes Society, in London, and the Baker Street Irregulars, in New York were founded. Both are still active (though the Sherlock Holmes Society was dissolved in 1937 to be resuscitated only in 1951). The London-based society is one of many worldwide who arrange visits to the scenes of the Sherlock Holmes adventures, such as the Reichenbach Falls in the Swiss Alps.

The two initial societies founded in 1934 were followed by many more Holmesians circles, first of all in America (where they are called "scion societies"—offshoots—of the Baker Street Irregulars), then in England and Denmark. Nowadays, there are Sherlockian societies in many countries, such as India and Japan^{[citation needed]}.
