My favorite detective Sherlock Holmes

Arthur Conan Doyle is one of the most famous writers who worked in the genre of detective. Loud glory to the writer brought his collection of stories about Sherlock Holmes. There are a total of sixty. And although in the world literature there are still writers who worked in this genre, for example Edgar Allan Poe, Georges Simenon, Agatha Christie and others, but my favorite detective is Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes is a highly educated, intelligent person with an extremely rich imagination, observability, and deep analytical abilities. "The art of drawing conclusions and analyzing, like all other forms of art, is achieved by long and hard work," Holmes says. And my favorite detective mastered this art in perfection.

In addition, he has an unmistakable intuition that helps him unravel the most complex cases, uncover the most intricate crimes that are often beyond the power to disclose to the police, for example the story "The Union of Redheads" or the story "Study in Scarlet Tones." Sherlock Holmes is a highly qualified specialist, but he not only flawlessly owns his profession, but is also well acquainted with many other related sciences: anatomy, chemistry, pharmacology, geology. He has a thorough knowledge of English laws, plays violin, an excellent swordsman and boxer. And Sherlock Holmes also attracts me with human qualities: honesty, justice, courage and resourcefulness. He will never refuse to help a person, if she is in trouble, will always give useful advice. Do not count with personal time to protect a person, reveal a dangerous crime. For his work, Sherlock Holmes does not require large fees, and sometimes free of charge helps people who need it. He gives all his knowledge and tireless labor to serving the law and justice.

I think that our modern detective could also use these human and professional qualities of my beloved literary hero.
