Слайд 13R.I.P. Holmes
After two novels and 24 short stories, Conan Doyle
grew tired of Holmes and wanted to spend his time
with more “important” work - so he killed him off in the short story “The Final Problem” in 1893.How? In a battle with his nemesis, Professor Moriarty! They both fall to their deaths at the Reichenbach Falls.
Readers were OUTRAGED!
Wore black armbands
Sent death threats to Conan Doyle
Placed memorials at the Reichenbach Falls
Слайд 14But then…
While vacationing in 1901, ACD was playing golf with
his friend,
Bertram Fletcher Robinson.
Robinson told him of a local
legend about Squire Richard Cabell, a monstrously evil man, whose death came at the mouths of a pack of huge, fire-breathing hounds (called Black Shucks)… 
Слайд 15Conan Doyle could NOT pass this up… and he
didn’t really want to invent a new detective, so to
his readers’ joy, he made Holmes his main character once again.Incidentally, he did not bring Holmes back to life (yet), but he set the story at an earlier time in Holmes’ life.
Слайд 16Holmes returns!
Eventually, Conan Doyle did decide to bring back Holmes,
and he did so in a story called “The Adventure
of the Empty House.”Apparently, Holmes had faked his own death to fool Moriarty’s henchmen.
ACD went on to write 32 more stories and one more novel before officially retiring his famous detective.
Слайд 17Weird, but true…
ACD wrote a book called The Coming of
the Fairies (1921).
He was convinced that fairies existed and proved
it by adding photographs. The photographs were actually faked by two young girls - the “fairies” were paper cutouts!
Слайд 19Legacy of Holmes
“Christopher Clausen asserts confidently that ‘few characters in
all of literature are as widely known as Sherlock Holmes.’”
“221B
Baker Street—or the closest thing to it that can be identified in the modern London thoroughfare—is a pilgrimage site for faithful Holmes devotees from around the world.”
Слайд 20Ranks 9th on the Fictional 100 Most Influential Characters in World
Literature
“Each generation wants to see its own Holmes in action.
At least twenty-one plays have been based on aspects of Holmes’s life.”
Слайд 21Film
“Holmes’s life in films is even more spectacular. The Guinness
World Records 2000 lists him as the character most often
portrayed in film.”
