Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "La vida es infinitamente más extraña que cualquier cosa que pueda inventar la mente humana. No nos atreveríamos a imaginar ciertas cosas que en realidad son de lo más corrientes. Si pudiéramos salir volando por esa ventana, tomados de la mano, sobrevolar esta gran ciudad, levantar con cuidado los tejados y espiar todas las cosas raras que pasan, las extrañas coincidencias, las intrigas, los engaños, los prodigiosos encadenamientos de circunstancias que se extienden de generación en generación y acaban conduciendo a los resultados más extravagantes, nos parecería que las historias de ficción, con sus convencionalismos y sus conclusiones sabidas de antemano, son algo trasnochado e insípido".

This book was released on 2021-04-28 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adventures of Sherlock Holmes identify, and try to correct, social injustices. Holmes is portrayed as offering a new, fairer sense of justice. The stories were well received, and boosted the subscriptions figures of The Strand Magazine, prompting Doyle to be able to demand more money for his next set of stories. The first story, "A Scandal in Bohemia", includes the character of Irene Adler, who, despite being featured only within this one story by Doyle, is a prominent character in modern Sherlock Holmes adaptations, generally as a love interest for Holmes. Doyle included four of the twelve stories from this collection in his twelve favourite Sherlock Holmes stories, picking "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" as his overall favourite.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ya sabe usted, Watson, que una de las maldiciones de una mente como la mía es que tengo que mirarlo todo desde el punto de vista de mi especialidad. Usted mira esas casas dispersas y se siente impresionado por su belleza. Yo las miro, y el único pensamiento que me viene a la cabeza es lo aisladas que están, y la impunidad con que puede cometerse un crimen en ellas. [...] Siempre me han producido un cierto horror. Tengo la convicción, Watson, basada en mi experiencia, de que las callejuelas más sórdidas y miserables de Londres no cuentan con un historial delictivo tan terrible como el de la sonriente y hermosa campiña inglesa".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sherlock Holmes era un hombre que rara vez hacía ejercicio físico por el puro placer de hacerlo. Pocos hombres eran capaces de un esfuerzo muscular mayor, y resultaba, sin duda alguna, uno de los más hábiles boxeadores de su peso que yo he conocido; pero el ejercicio corporal sin una finalidad concreta lo consideraba como un derroche de energía, y era raro que él se ajetrease si no existía alguna finalidad de su profesión a la que acudir. Cuando esto ocurría, era hombre incansable e infatigable. Resultaba digno de notar que Sherlock Holmes se conservase muscularmente a punto en tales condiciones, pero su régimen de comidas era sobrio, y sus costumbres austeras. Salvo que, de cuando en cuando, recurría a la cocaína, Holmes no tenía vicios, y si echaba mano de esa droga era como protesta contra la monotonía de la vida, cuando escaseaban los asuntos y cuando los periódicos no ofrecían interés".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Cuando Holmes, en uno de sus arrebatos de extravagante humor se sentaba en una butaca, con su revólver y un centenar de cartuchos Boxer, y procedía a adornar la pared opuesta con unas patrióticas iniciales V.R. trazadas a balazos, yo creía firmemente que ni la atmósfera ni la apariencia de nuestra habitación mejoraban con ello. Nuestros aposentos siempre estaban llenos de productos químicos y de reliquias del mundo criminal, que tenían la particularidad de desplazarse hasta lugares improbables y aparecer en la mantequera o en sitios todavía más indeseables. Pero mi peor cruz eran sus papeles. Le causaba horror destruir documentos, en especial aquellos que guardaban relación con anteriores casos, y sin embargo sólo una o dos veces al año reunía ganas para ordenarlos, pues sus arranques de apasionada energía, cuando llevaba a cabo las notables hazañas, eran seguidos por reacciones letárgicas durante las cuales permanecía tumbado con su violín y sus libros, casi sin moverse".

Download or read book Sherlock Holmes The Complete Novels and Stories Volume I written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and published by Bantam Classics. This book was released on 2013-06-26 with total page 1090 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since his first appearance in Beeton’s Christmas Annual in 1887, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes has been one of the most beloved fictional characters ever created. Now, in two paperback volumes, Bantam presents all fifty-six short stories and four novels featuring Conan Doyle’s classic hero--a truly complete collection of Sherlock Holmes’s adventures in crime! Volume I includes the early novel A Study in Scarlet, which introduced the eccentric genius of Sherlock Holmes to the world. This baffling murder mystery, with the cryptic word Rache written in blood, first brought Holmes together with Dr. John Watson. Next, The Sign of Four presents Holmes’s famous “seven percent solution” and the strange puzzle of Mary Morstan in the quintessential locked-room mystery. Also included are Holmes’s feats of extraordinary detection in such famous cases as the chilling “ The Adventure of the Speckled Band,” the baffling riddle of “The Musgrave Ritual,” and the ingeniously plotted “The Five Orange Pips,” tales that bring to life a Victorian England of horse-drawn cabs, fogs, and the famous lodgings at 221B Baker Street, where Sherlock Holmes earned his undisputed reputation as the greatest fictional detective of all time.
Download or read book Arthur George written by Julian Barnes and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2009-02-24 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brilliantly imagined and irresistibly readable, Arthur & George is a major new novel from Julian Barnes, a wonderful combination of playfulness, pathos and wisdom. Searching for clues, no one would ever guess that the lives of Arthur and George might intersect. Growing up in shabby-genteel nineteenth-century Edinburgh, Arthur is saddled with a dad who is a disgrace and a mum he wishes to protect, and is propelled into a life of action. To his astonishment, his career as a self-made man of letters brings him riches and fame and, in the world at large, he becomes the perfect picture of the honourable English gentlemen. George is irredeemably an outsider, and has no hope of becoming such a picture. Though he’s dogged and logical, a vicar’s son from rural Staffordshire, he is set apart, and he and his family are targeted in his boyhood by a poison-pen campaign. George finds safe harbour in the reliability of rules, and grows up to become a solicitor, putting his faith in the insulating value of British justice. Then crisis upsets the uneasy equilibrium of both men’s lives. Arthur is knocked for a loop by guilt and other dishonourable emotions. George is put to the sorest test, accused of a horrible crime. And from that point on their lives weave together in the most profound and surprising way, as each man becomes the other’s salvation. Arthur & George is a masterful novel about low crime and high spirituality, guilt and innocence, identity, nationality and race. Most of all, it’s a profound and witty meditation on the fateful differences between what we believe, what we know and what we can prove. George and his father pray together, kneeling side by side on the scrubbed boards. Then George climbs into bed while his father locks the door and turns out the light. As he falls asleep, George sometimes thinks of the floor, and how his soul must be scrubbed just as the boards are scrubbed. Father is not an easy sleeper, and has a tendency to groan and wheeze. Sometimes, in the early morning, when dawn is beginning to show at the edges of the curtains, Father will catechize him. "George, where do you live?" "The Vicarage, Great Wyrley." "And where is that?" "Staffordshire, Father." "And where is that?" "The centre of England." "And what is England, George?" "England is the beating heart of the Empire, Father." "Good. And what is the blood that flows through the arteries and veins of the Empire to reach even its farthest shore?" "The Church of England." "Good, George." And after a while Father will begin to groan and wheeze again. George watches the outline of the curtain harden. He lies there thinking of arteries and veins making red lines on the map of the world, linking Britain to all the places coloured pink: Australia and India and Canada and islands dotted everywhere. He thinks of blood bubbling though these tubes and emerging in Sydney, Bombay, the St. Lawrence Waterway. Bloodlines, that is a word he has heard somewhere. With the pulse of blood in his ears, he begins to fall asleep again. —excerpt from Arthur & George
