Артур Конан Дойл — автор, в котором органично соединились детектив и путешественник, поклонник науки и спиритизма, а также писатель и врач. Оставаясь всю жизнь верным своему врачебному призванию и черпая вдохновение из него, мастер писал: "...любой врач должен быть благодарен судьбе за свою профессию. Ведь делать добро — это такое огромное удовольствие, что впору платить за эту привилегию..." "Письма молодого врача" — это история жизни молодого доктора Старка Монро. Во многом автобиографичное произведение, почти все персонажи которого списаны с реальных прототипов.
