2007., Weidenfeld & Nicolson Call No: SC Bio D754ly Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Born in Scotland to an artistic Irish family, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle became the archetypal Englishman and advocate of the British empire. With an alcoholic father and dominating mother, he rejected his family's Roman Catholicism. Seeking salvation in the scientific certainties of medicine, he became a doctor. But he proved inadequate: he needed scope for his imagination in writing, and for his repressed religious feelings in spiritualism." "The result was a fascinating personality and strong individualist, someone who, despite the trappings of convention, was prepared to take on the establishment in innumerable struggles for justice. Never content with Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle was also a prolific writer of horror stories, histories and poetry. He was a sportsman, politician, clubman, polemicist, and much more besides." "With access to vast amounts of previously hidden archival material, Andrew Lycett shows the agonies, struggles and humanity of this great author as never before."--BOOK JACKET.

By Sisman, Adamc2015., Adult, Alfred A Knopf Canada Call No: Bio C314s Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Adam Sisman reveals the man behind the bestselling persona in this authorized biography, shining a spotlight on David John Moore Cornwell, an expert at hiding in plain sight. Of course, the pseudonym John le Carré has helped to keep the public at a distance. During the 1950s and the 1960s, Cornwell worked for the Security Service and the Secret Intelligence Service, and began writing novels using his now famous name. Sisman probes Cornwell's unusual upbringing, abandoned by his mother at the age of only five and raised by his con man father (when not in prison), and explores his background in British intelligence, as well as his struggle to become a writer, and his personal life. Sisman has had unfettered access to le Carré's private archive, talked to the most important people in his life, and interviewed the man himself at length"--Provided by publisher.
