Memories and Adventures: Autobiography by Arthur Conan Doyle
Requirements: .PDF reader, 4.9mb
Overview: What we have in Memories and Adventures is a literary life story that

reminds us – and not just on the grounds of autobiographical reticence – of the difference of the past. What it does contain is a remarkable panorama of the busy life of Britain’s last national writer, a man of letters with an idea of the writer’s role very remote from today’s – as seen, for example, in the amount of space devoted in this book to public, military, and of course spiritual matters. Besides being one of the most important authors of his generation, Conan Doyle was also engaged with the full life of the nation which, in more than one sense, he represented. If his story avoids an intimacy which he would have found embarrassing, its fluent and friendly prose shows him familiar with and close to a readership which had known him for years in the pages of the Strand Magazine before the instalments of his autobiography began to appear there. And his readers today can explore here the range of Conan Doyle’s sense of himself, as a man of letters, a family man, a citizen, a spiritual pilgrim, and a man of his time.
