This fictionalized account of a 1903 case involves racism, prejudice, miscarriage of justice, a mid-life love affair, spiritualism, and the social mores of Victorian England."

  • "In the vast expanse of late-Victorian Britain, two boys come to life: George and Arthur, both of them feeling at once near to and impossibly distant from the beating heart of Empire. We follow each through outrageous accusation and unrivaled success, whether in the dock awaiting complete disgrace or at the height of fame while desperately in love with a woman not his wife, and gradually realize that George is half-Indian and that Arthur becomes the creator of the world's most famous detective."@en
  • "Arthur and George grew up worlds apart in late nineteenth-century Britain: Arthur in shabby-genteel Edinburgh, George in the vicarage of a small Staffordshire village. Arthur becomes a doctor, then a writer; George a solicitor in Birmingham. Arthur is to become one of the most famous men of his age, while George remains in hard-working obscurity. But as the new century begins, they are brought together by a sequence of events which made sensational headlines at the time. With a mixture of intense research and vivid imagination, Julian Barnes's novel brings to life this long-forgotten case that featured Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of the world's greatest detective."@en
  • "Arthur & George is based on the true story of two men. One is Arthur Conan Doyle, the other is George Edalji, a solicitor from Birmingham. Their nineteenth-century lives are worlds and miles apart, until a series of shocking events brings them together. In dubious circumstances, George is found guilty of harming animals and is sentenced to seven years' penal servitude, a future of ignominious obscurity. However, when Arthur, who is now one of the most famous men in the land as creator of Sherlock Holmes, hears of this racist miscarriage of justice he decides to clear George's name. Told against the backdrop of Arthur's family life, his own passionate affair with the woman who was to become the second Lady Conan Doyle and his wife's lengthy battle with TB, this extraordinary novel is a dazzling exercise in detection."@en
