With the words” Elementary, my dear Watson…”, the most famous detective of all times,
Sherlock Holmes, starts to explain something to his friend., Dr.Watson. That phrase has now
entered the English language.
Sherlock Holmes first appeared in 1882. He became famous in “The Adventures of
Sherlock Holmes”. After that came the whole series of books about him.Many thousands of
books about Sherlock Holmes are still sold every year.
Who invented Sherlock Holmes? Arthur Conan Doyle was his inventor. He was a doctor.
In 1882 he moved from Scotland to England to set up a practice. One of the doctors he worked
with, Dr. Joseph Bell, was the model for Sherlock Holmes’s friend, Dr.Watson. Conan Doyle’s
medical knowledge was a great help to him in his detective stories.
Conan Doyle started the fashion of the detective story, which goes on.
And what sort of man is Sherlock Holmes? We learn a lot about him from the stories in
which he appears. He is a quiet man, who only speaks when he has something to say. He
smokes a pipe (he has a collection of them). He plays the violin. He carries a large magnifying
glass. He lives at 221B Baker Street in London.
If you go to London, you will not be able to find 221B Baker Street. But instead, you can
go to a pub called the “Sherlock Holmes”. In that pub there is a room exactly like Sherlock
Holmes’s room at 221B Baker Street as described in Conan Doyle’s stories.

Stratford-on-Avon. We don’t know everything about Shakespeare’s early life. But we know that
he studied at the Grammar School in Stratford, and that he became interested in the theatre when
he was still a boy.
In 1586 Shakespeare went to London, where he worked in the theatre for some years
before he began to write his own plays.
2.Shakespeare soon became well-known in London literary circles. Every play that he
wrote was good news to the people of the capital. Queen Elizabeth I liked Shakespeare’s plays,
and the actors were often invited to play before the Queen and later before the King James- a
great honor in those days. By the end of the 16
th
century Shakespeare and his friends built their
own theatre the famous Globe Theatre.
3.But Shakespeare had many difficulties in his life. Less talented writers, whose plays
were worse than his, often quarreled with Shakespeare and attacked him, the actors in his own
theatre sometimes turned against him.

and tragedies that are still modern and well-known all over the world.
