INTRO

The making of Sherlock Holmes/pg.1

No one can quite explain the lasting appeal of Sherlock Holmes stories more than 125 years after his first appearance in print. Holmes adventures with Dr Watson may not be considered worthy of such an enduring admiration, and it is well known that his creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, regretted his Holmes works and even made a sincere attempt to have Holmes murdered(by Prof Moriarty at Reichenbach Falls). This paper looks for clues and black axioms mirorred in the series, which are founded on the duality and the duplicity of the Victorian motifs of the covert life of London in 1887. Conan Doyle´s braided concept of Duality & Duplicity is perfected by Holmes and Watson who have only Quixote and Sancho as rivals in the annals of imaginary friendship. This Victorian impulse(D&D) lies behind Holmes´s feats of inspired guessing: Old London vs. new London, Crime and Splendour, Depravity and Wonder, Success and Failure, Violin and Cocaine

FACTS /II

The making of Sherlock Holmes/pg.4

Doyle was Celt and Englishman, doctor and novelist,atlete

and aesthete, champion of truth and inveterate concealer. He was the grandson of a caricaturist, the nephew of the designer of Punch, and the son of Charles Doyle, an architect and a painter who died in a sanatorium, and burdened his son with an eccentric way of looking at the world. A number of Holmes stories centre on the activities of sinister lodgers, madwomen with secret connections, machinating step-parents, who are ultimately reproachful ghosts of the immured Doyle´s father. Doyle dreamed up of a tale of a bohemian detective, manicdepressive genius who stalks the yellow fog of London, takes cocaine and morphine to ease the torments of living in this dreary world, and abates his addiction by scheming to peel back the surface of other people´s lives, betraying secret histories of violence and vice.

Wells) + “We are used to seeing that man despises what he never comprehends”(Goethe) + “Nature, alas, made only one h-being out of a good man and arogue.
