Reseña del libro "The Great Shadow (en Inglés)"

But he would have been still more surprised had he seen the peace and kindliness which reigns now in the hearts of men, and the talk in the papers and at the meetings that there is to be no more war - save, of course, with blacks and such like. For when he died we had been fighting with scarce a break, save only during two short years, for very nearly a quarter of a century. Think of it, you who live so quietly and peacefully now! Babies who were born in the war grew to be bearded men with babies of their own, and still the war continued. Those who had served and fought in their stalwart prime grew stiff and bent, and yet the ships and the armies were struggling. it was no wonder that folk came at last to look upon it as the natural state, and thought how queer it must seem to be at peace. During that long time we fought the Dutch, we fought the Danes, we fought the Spanish, we fought the Turks, we fought the Americans, we fought the Monte-Videans, until it seemed that in this universal struggle no race was too near of kin, or too far away, to be drawn into the quarrel. But most of all it was the French whom we fought, and the man whom of all others we loathed and feared and admired was the great Captain who ruled them.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Edimburgo, 1859 - Crowborough, Reino Unido, 1930) considerado el maestro de la literatura policiaca fue un escritor y médico nacido en Escocia, principalmente conocido por haber creado al famosísimo personaje Sherlock Holmes, el detective más conocido de todos los tiempos, versionado para TV y cine de forma cíclica.

Cursó sus estudios en las universidades de Stonyhurst y Edimburgo, donde se graduó en medicina. Entre 1882 y 1890 trabajó como médico en Southsea, Inglaterra.

Para complementar sus escasos ingresos, escribió una novela de misterio titulada Estudio en escarlata, que se convirtió en la primera de las sesenta y ocho historias protagonizadas por uno de los detectives más célebres de la literatura: Sherlock Holmes.
