Beschreibung

Step back into the formative years of a literary giant with Juvenilia, an autobiographical glimpse into the early writings of Arthur Conan Doyle. Before Sherlock Holmes was ever conceived, Doyle was a young, imaginative schoolboy scribbling out tales that reveal both the promise of his genius and the raw energy of youthful creativity. This collection of his earliest prose and poetic efforts showcases his burgeoning voice, his love for storytelling, and the moral and adventurous themes that would later define his most iconic works. Engaging, often humorous, and deeply personal, Juvenilia is more than a literary curiosity—it's a time machine into the mind of a writer in the making. A must-read for Doyle aficionados and aspiring authors alike, this is where it all began.

IT is very well for the master craftsman with twenty triumphs behind him to look down the vista of his successes, and to recall how he picked out the path which has led him to fame, but for the tiro whose first book is perilously near to his last one it becomes a more invidious matter. His past presses too closely upon his present, and his reminiscences, unmellowed by the flight of Tears, are apt to be rawly and crudely personal. And yet even time helps me when I speak of my first work, for it was written seven-and-twenty years ago.
