Holmes is the most popular and well-known novel character in the world?

I'm not aware that it is a widely known novel. There are so many novels out there, and this title doesn't ring a bell as a mainstream or highly popular one. But that doesn't mean it isn't great or important within a certain niche or among a particular group of readers.

J.K. Rowling is one of the most well - known. Her 'Harry Potter' series has been extremely popular all over the world. Another is Stephen King. His horror and thriller novels like 'It' and 'The Shining' have a huge following. Dan Brown is also popular with his books like 'The Da Vinci Code' which combines mystery and historical elements.

Agatha Christie is a well - known author of popular crime fiction. Her books like 'Murder on the Orient Express' and 'Death on the Nile' are full of intrigue and clever detective work. Another is Arthur Conan Doyle, who created Sherlock Holmes. His stories have been adapted many times. And Gillian Flynn is also quite popular, especially for her book 'Gone Girl' which had a huge impact with its unexpected plot twists.

Superman is often considered one of the most well-known. His superpowers, sense of justice, and frequent appearances in various media made him a household name. Also, his story has endured for decades and has been adapted in many forms.

Again, without knowing the specific 'world novel', it's hard to say if he's well - known. There are so many novels out there that a character named Henry Magee could be extremely popular in one particular work but completely unheard of in others.

One famous name is 'A Study in Scarlet'.

Another relatively unknown but excellent new Sherlock Holmes novel is 'Sherlock Holmes: The Adventure of the Peculiar Provenance'. It delves into some unique cases that Holmes has to solve, and the writing does a good job of recreating the atmosphere of Conan Doyle's stories while adding its own new elements.

Stephen King is one of the most well - known. He has written numerous horror stories like 'It', which features a shape - shifting monster that preys on children's fears. His works often deal with ordinary people facing extraordinary and terrifying situations. Another is H.P. Lovecraft. His stories, such as 'The Call of Cthulhu', introduce cosmic horror concepts. His use of strange and otherworldly entities makes his stories very spooky.

The Rape of Nanking is one. The Japanese army carried out mass killings, rapes, and looting in Nanking. Tens of thousands of civilians were brutally slaughtered. Women were raped in large numbers, and the city was left in ruins. It was a great tragedy for the Chinese people and a dark chapter in World War 2.

The rescue of the Danish Jews is very well - known. When the Nazis planned to round up the Jews in Denmark, the Danish people united. They hid Jews in their homes, churches, and other places. Fishermen used their boats to transport Jews to safety in Sweden. This mass rescue was an amazing display of the Danish people's resistance against the Nazis and their compassion for the persecuted.
