Danger! – Arthur Conan Doyle

A collection of short stories, some of which have to do with the war. The longest and most noteworthy of the ten tales which make up this book is the one which gives its name to the collection. ” Danger!”. The most notable thing about “ Danger!” is the fact that it was written about a year and a half before the outbreak of the great war. The events related in it resemble so closely those which have actually transpired during those four years; but when one recollects that no one of these had happened at the date when it was written, it becomes a very remarkable bit of prophecy.

His Last Bow – Arthur Conan Doyle

A retired Sherlock Holmes is drawn once more by Conan Doyle into the absorbing work of mystery by the rumblings of war which make him feel a duty to his country—though we secretly believe he was bored to death and hailed with delight any excuse to train his mental guns again! However, Mr. Holmes does not confine his detective work to international affairs alone — there was that little affair of the cardboard box containing two human ears, the curious case of Voodooism in England, and the time when Dr. Watson becomes so alarmed by the disguise that his friend assumes. Grotesqueries and brain twisting situations excite our wonder, torture our curiosity and … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...
