Summary; "In February 1880, when Arthur Conan Doyle was only 20 years old, he spent seven months as a ships surgeon on an Arctic whaler. During the voyage, he kept a detailed diary. This edition contains a full facsimile of the diary, with a transcription, plus several non-fiction and fiction pieces based on the experience and life on board." --Provided by publisher. In February 1880, when Arthur Conan Doyle was only twenty years old, he embarked upon 'the first real outstanding adventure in my life,' seven months as a ship's surgeon on an Arctic whaler. The voyage took the young Conan Doyle into unknown regions and plunged him into dangerous and bloody work on the ice floes of the Arctic seas. His unforgettable adventure was echoed in a number of his early landmarks as a writer. A ghost story based on the experience, 'The Captain of the Pole-Star,' got him noticed in publishing circles as a promising young writer, and a magazine article called 'The Glamour of the Arctic' won him the respect of intrepid Arctic explorers. During the voyage, Conan Doyle kept a detailed diary. This incredible document, hidden from public view for more than a century, is written in his clear handwriting and is illustrated with many charming pen-and-ink sketches of scenes of life on board and of the sea-creatures and other sights he saw. It provides a vivid account of the coming of age of the young man who would go on to create Sherlock Holmes, and of a life at sea that no longer exists. 2 Kg.

In 1880 a young medical student named Arthur Conan Doyle embarked upon the first real outstanding adventure of his life, taking a berth as ship s surgeon on an Arctic whaler, the Hope. The voyage took him to unknown regions, showered him with dramatic and unexpected experiences, and plunged him into dangerous work on the ice floes of the Arctic seas. Conan Doyle s time in the Arctic provided powerful fuel for his growing ambitions as a writer. With a ghost story set in the Arctic wastes that he wrote shortly after his return, he established himself as a promising young writer. Out of sight for more than a century was a diary that Conan Doyle kept while aboard the whaler. Dangerous Work: Diary of an Arctic Adventure makes this account available for the first time in a beautiful facsimile edition that reproduces Conan Doyle s notebook pages in his own elegant hand, accompanied by his copious illustrations. In addition to the facsimile and annotated transcript of the diary, the volume contains photographs of the Hope, its captain, and a young Conan Doyle on deck with its officers; two nonfiction pieces by Doyle about his experiences; and two of his tales inspired by the journey.

Original boards. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Quarto (250 x 214mm), pp. [8 (half-title, frontispiece on verso, title, imprint on verso, contents, acknowledgments, map, portrait)], 368. Full-page colour illustrations reproducing the bindings and manuscript of Conan Doyle's notebooks, illustrations and maps in the text. (A few very light marks.) Original black boards, spine lettered in gilt, printed endpapers, duswrapper with illustration after Conan Doyle on upper panel. (Dustwrapper minimally rubbed at edges and with some light indentations and creasing.) A very good copy. ¶¶¶First edition, trade issue. 'Dangerous Work' was the young Conan Doyle's log, recording his experiences as a ship's surgeon aboard the Arctic whaler SS Hope on its voyage of 28 February to 11 August 1880. When Arthur Conan Doyle was a twenty-year old medical student at Edinburgh University, one of his fellow-students called Currie enlisted to serve as the surgeon on a whaling cruise to the Arctic. However, a last-minute change forced Currie to withdraw and to find a replacement -- and Doyle took up his position. The Hope sailed from Peterhead and quickly found itself in the Arctic, where Doyle assisted with the whaling as well as undertaking the surgeon's duties, although his lack of experience on the ice led to a number of accidents, during which he fell through thin sheets into the freezing sea -- these mishaps earned him the nickname 'The Great Northern Diver'. The experiences of the cruise remained with Doyle to the end of his life -- indeed, the harsh life of the whalers provides a backdrop to some of the Sherlock Holmes stories, such as 'Black Peter' -- and he would later recollect that, 'I went on board the whaler a big, straggling youth, I came off it a powerful, well-grown man' (Memories and Adventures (Ware, Hertfordshire, 2007), p. 37). Doyle's two-volume manuscript log of the voyage remained in his family?s possession until 2004, when it was sold at auction by Christie's London (The Conan Doyle Collection, 19 May 2004, lot 5), and it is reproduced here in a finely-printed colour facsimile, followed by an annotated transcription, and four pieces by Conan Doyle inspired by his Arctic experiences: 'The Glamour of the Arctic', 'Life on a Greenland Whaler', 'The Captain of the "Pole-Star"' and 'The Adventure of Black Peter'. This first edition appeared in two forms: a specially-bound issue limited to 150 copies and the present trade issue. ¶¶¶FURTHER INFORMATION: please contact us for further information about this item and prices for shipping.
