Features: Arthur and George was selected as the winner of the "Best Foreign Novel of the 21st Century" in 2005. Arthur and George were born in Britain at the end of the 19th century, but their backgrounds were vastly different. Arthur became a doctor and later became the famous author of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, while George was an obscure lawyer who fought tirelessly for railway laws. However, at the beginning of the new century, they became involved in the sensational Great Walley Gang case. George was deeply entangled in the case, and Arthur used every means to investigate and clear his name. The author conducts an in-depth investigation, employs imagination, and recreates this long-forgotten famous case, revealing the inner worlds and upbringing of the two characters. It reflects inherent human issues such as guilt and innocence, nationality and race.
