The Paulsen Publishing House for the first time in Russian has published the book Dangerous Work. Arctic Diaries by Arthur Conan Doyle. This book was written by a great author during his expedition to the Arctic on a whaling ship. Manuscript “Dangerous work. Arctic Diaries ”was first published only in 2012, this book is published in Russian for the first time.

According to the biography of Arthur Conan Doyle, as a 23-year-old student in the spring of 1880, he received an unexpected offer - to go on a six-month voyage on a whaling ship. The choice between an Arctic adventure and preparation for the next exam was short-lived. From the Arctic, the future writer brought a weighty notebook with many drawings and notes about his impressions of the Arctic.

Historians specializing in the work of Arthur Conan Doyle note that this period of the writer’s life is reflected in his memoirs. However, they do not convey all the freshness of perception of the feelings experienced by the young man during the trip, like the diaries and drawings presented in “Dangerous Work”. In addition, diary entries abound in amusing, tragic and simply interesting stories from the polar life.

In addition to polar diaries, the book includes articles on swimming written by Conan Doyle for American and British magazines. Also in the book “Dangerous Work. Arctic Diaries ”included the story of Sherklock Holmes“ The Adventure of Black Peter ”and the fantastic novel“ Captain of the Polar Star ”.
