34 - Arthur Conan Doyle: The Man Who Killed Sherlock Holmes
If anyone brings up the name, Arthur Conan Doyle very often Sherlock Holmes come to mind, which is not the way Conan Doyle wished to be known or remembered. Nor does he need to be, because Conan Doyle threw himself into life with a vengeance, and though he remains automatically linked to his famous pipe-smoking detective with the deerstalker hat, there are countless other ways to remember this teller of tales. He actually took on the role of detective to get two innocent men freed and, eventually, succeeded in both cases. He was also knighted for his volunteering to serve as an unpaid physician in South Africa during the Boer war. Doyle was a doctor by trade, but spent only a few years dedicated to this work. Most of Conan Doyle's life was spent writing, and not only about Sherlock Holmes. Did Doyle truly live the life of an adventurer? Did he really kill someone that he owed a great deal of gratitude towards? After he was knighted and was caught wearing a black trench coat while running around roof tops, was he ever called the dark knight? These… and so many other answers will all be elementary my dear listener after todays episode of Brain Bitez.
