The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard – Arthur Conan Doyle

The adventures of the brave, vain, light-hearted French soldier, a Gil Blas of the Grande Armée, are carried on chapter by chapter, each complete in itself, and you may take up the book at any point, as you can Le Sage’s immortal tale, and find it entertaining. We read how the Brigadier gets into Dartmoor prison, and how he gets out again; how he fights brigands and makes his way into the Castle of Gloom, the abode of heroes of the Reign of Terror; how he rescues ladies, and takes part in every kind of midnight exploit, coming miraculously out of each with a whole skin.

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes – Arthur Conan Doyle

Pretty well everybody reads Mr. Conan Doyle; and none of those who agree in the general verdict that the “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” are unsurpassed of late years as stories of detective ingenuity will wait for a recommendation to read the final ” Memoirs” of the same suprasubtle unraveller of mysteries. The story of the last exploit of the hero of a “Study in Scarlet,” ending with his apotheosis at the Falls of Reichenbach, brings his memoirs to a close in a sufficiently striking manner, though not, it must be confessed, without an extra allowance of the bizarre and the improbable. It was fitting that, if Mr. Holmes was to … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Poison Belt – Arthur Conan Doyle

In the course of its serene spinning on through space the earth runs into a belt or stratum of poisonous vapor, which is deadly to every living thing on earth. The only warning given is an inexplicable blurring of Frauenhofer’s lines in the spectroscope, and Professor Challenger, the hairy, fiery-tempered scientist, is the only man keen enough to foresee what is coming. Behold then, the nations of the earth, one by one on a bright summer day, succumbing, suddenly insensible, to the poison vapor. Every animal thing suffers alike; birds fall dead from the branches; horses drop as they stand in their shafts; men drop at their work or play. Engineers falling at … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...
