For Immediate Release LOST ARCHIVE of SIR ARTHUR
For Immediate Release 15 May 2004 Contact: Clare Roberts 020 7389 2117 [email protected] LOST ARCHIVE OF SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE TO BE OFFERED AT CHRISTIE’S IN MAY The name-plate that Conan Doyle set-up outside his medical practice in Southsea in 1882 where he was a local GP (estimate £10,000-15,000). The Lost Papers of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle 19 May 2004 London – On 19 May 2004, Christie’s will offer one the most exciting literary discoveries in modern times at auction – the lost personal papers of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Never before seen in public, until now, the collection was recently re-discovered in the London office of a firm of lawyers, its whereabouts having last been recorded some forty years earlier. The archive includes over 3,000 items of personal letters, notes, hand-written manuscripts, 80% of which have not been published, and personal effects taken from Conan Doyle’s writing desk after his death in 1930. It reveals many previously unknown details behind events in the life of the legendary Sherlock Holmes author. At the heart of the archive is a highly important collection of letters relating to his family, allowing a re-evaluation of his relationships with family members, as well his private and public life and his fascination with spiritualism. The collection is estimated to fetch in the region of £2 million. Opening the dozen or so large cardboard boxes, which had housed the archive since the 1960s, was a spine-tingling moment that I will never forget,” says Tom Lamb, Head of Christie’s Books and Manuscripts department.

Superbly EntertainingBy A CustomerThe Exploits of Brigadier Gerard was an excellent book. In my opinion, it really details the outstanding work of one of Britain's greatest writer. Overall i would have to say it is in my top 10 picks of best books i have ever read. For the horse of the same name, see Brigadier Gerard (horse). Brigadier Gerard is the hero of a series of historical short stories by the British writer Arthur Conan Doyle. The hero, Etienne Gerard, is a Hussar officer in the French Army during the Napoleonic Wars. Gerard's most notable attribute is his vanity ndash; he is utterly convinced that he is the bravest soldier, greatest swordsman, most accomplished horseman and most gallant lover in all France. Gerard is not entirely wrong, since he displays notable bravery on many occasions, but his self-satisfaction undercuts this quite often.

SIR NIGEL by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle INTRODUCTION Dame History Is
SIR NIGEL By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle INTRODUCTION Dame History is so austere a lady that if one, has been so ill-advised as to take a liberty with her, one should hasten to make amends by repentance and confession. Events have been transposed to the extent of some few months in this narrative in order to preserve the continuity and evenness of the story. I hope so small a divergence may seem a venial error after so many centuries. For the rest, it is as accurate as a good deal of research and hard work could make it. The matter of diction is always a question of taste and discretion in a historical reproduction. In the year 1350 the upper classes still spoke Norman-French, though they were just beginning to condescend to English. The lower classes spoke the English of the original Piers Plowman text, which would be considerably more obscure than their superiors' French if the two were now reproduced or imitated. The most which the chronicles can do is to catch the cadence and style of their talk, and to infuse here and there such a dash of the archaic as may indicate their fashion of speech. I am aware that there are incidents which may strike the modern reader as brutal and repellent. It is useless, however, to draw the Twentieth Century and label it the Fourteenth. It was a sterner age, and men's code of morality, especially in matters of cruelty, was very different. There is no incident in the text for which very good warrant may not be given.

Sir Nigel Doyle, Arthur Conan Publication: 1899 Catégorie(s): Fiction, Historique, XXe siècle avant 1945 Source: http://www.ebooksgratuits.com 1 A Propos Doyle: Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle, DL (22 May 1859 – 7 July 1930) was a Scottish author most noted for his stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, which are generally considered a major innovation in the field of crime fiction, and the adven- tures of Professor Challenger. He was a prolific writer whose other works include science fiction stories, historical novels, plays and romances, poetry, and non-fiction. Conan was origi- nally a given name, but Doyle used it as part of his surname in his later years.

Painless history lesson.By DoctorJoeEComing up on my 300th Kindle download, and still finding the system confusing. Why does one Kindle edition of this book cost $11.26 (virtually the same price as the paperback), while this one - which is annotated, presumably making it the better choice - is 99 cents? And why no indication on the page for the $11.26 version that there is a cheaper option? Lesson for the day, boys and girls: If the version you're looking to buy seems a bit dear, don't assume that there aren't other choices, just because there is no "other editions" button to click on.Anyway, to the book at hand: If you, like most people (sadly), are unaware that Conan Doyle's oeuvre is not limited to the Sherlock Holmes stories, google his bibliography sometime. His prolificacy is as impressive as his versatility -- 22 novels and hundreds of shorter works of fantasy and science fiction, romances, historical novels, and non-fiction, not to mention a dozen or so plays, and several poetry collections.
