Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), the Creator of Sherlock Holmes and Professor Challenger, appears in this book in an unexpected role for the Russian reader — as a poet. Of the five collections of poems published during the life of Conan Doyle, we chose "Songs of action" (1898) — the first and giving a fairly complete picture of the theme, style and language of poetic creativity of sir Arthur. "Action songs", first published as a separate book in Russian, are presented in the translation of the winner of the Bunin prize Evgeny Feldman, author of numerous translations of English classical poetry. The book is published with a parallel text of the English original.
