Arthur Conan Doyle, a trained physician with a keen interest in the interplay of science and the human experience, was influenced by the scientific advancements and detective tropes of his era.

For readers keen on delving into the origins of modern crime fiction, "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" is an essential read that not only entertains but also challenges one'Äôs perception of justice and morality. Its enduring popularity speaks to its layered storytelling and the timeless appeal of its characters, making it a must-read for any literary enthusiast.
