Download or read book Dust and Shadow written by Lyndsay Faye and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Dust and Shadow Sherlock Holmes hunts down Jack the Ripper with impeccably accurate historical detail, rooting the Whitechapel investigation in the fledgling days of tabloid journalism and clinical psychology. This astonishing debut explores the terrifying prospect of hunting down one of the world's first serial killers without the advantage of modern forensics or profiling. Sherlock's desire to stop the killer who is terrifying the East End of London is unwavering from the start, and in an effort to do so he hires an "unfortuate" known as Mary Ann Monk, the friend of a fellow streetwalker who was one of the Ripper's earliest victims. However, when Holmes himself is wounded in Whitechapel attempting to catch the villain, and a series of articles in the popular press question his role in the crimes, he must use all his resources in a desperate race to find the man known as "The Knife" before it is too late. Penned as a pastiche by the loyal and courageous Dr. Watson, Dust and Shadow recalls the ideals evinced by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most beloved and world-renowned characters, while testing the limits of their strength in a fight to protect the women of London, Scotland Yard, and the peace of the city itself.

Download or read book The Libertine Colony written by Doris L Garraway and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2005-07-08 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting incisive original readings of French writing about the Caribbean from the inception of colonization in the 1640s until the onset of the Haitian Revolution in the 1790s, Doris Garraway sheds new light on a significant chapter in French colonial history. At the same time, she makes a pathbreaking contribution to the study of the cultural contact, creolization, and social transformation that resulted in one of the most profitable yet brutal slave societies in history. Garraway’s readings highlight how French colonial writers characterized the Caribbean as a space of spiritual, social, and moral depravity. While tracing this critique in colonial accounts of Island Carib cultures, piracy, spirit beliefs, slavery, miscegenation, and incest, Garraway develops a theory of “the libertine colony.” She argues that desire and sexuality were fundamental to practices of domination, laws of exclusion, and constructions of race in the slave societies of the colonial French Caribbean. Among the texts Garraway analyzes are missionary histories by Jean-Baptiste Du Tertre, Raymond Breton, and Jean-Baptiste Labat; narratives of adventure and transgression written by pirates and others outside the official civil and religious power structures; travel accounts; treatises on slavery and colonial administration in Saint-Domingue; the first colonial novel written in French; and the earliest linguistic description of the native Carib language. Garraway also analyzes legislation—including the Code noir—that codified slavery and other racialized power relations. The Libertine Colony is both a rich cultural history of creolization as revealed in Francophone colonial literature and an important contribution to theoretical arguments about how literary critics and historians should approach colonial discourse and cultural representations of slave societies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il vit à Londres, au 221B Baker Street, à la fin du dix-neuvième siècle. Il a des idées un peu bizarres... Il se passionne pour certaines branches de la science. Il est assez calé en anatomie, est un chimiste de premier ordre qui, malgré des études très décousues et excentriques, a ammassé des tas de connaissances peu ordinaires. Il n'est pas aisé de le faire parler, bien qu'il puisse être assez expansif quand l'envie lui en prend. Il joue du violon. Il a un métier : dénouer les énigmes étranges auxquelles il est le seul à pouvoir apporter une solution. Il a un défaut : il affectionne les drogues. Il a un ami : le docteur Watson, témoin et narrateur de ses aventures. Son créateur, Arthur Conan Doyle, a inventé le roman policier moderne. Il s'appelle Sherlock Holmes.

Book excerpt: Le docteur Watson fut ravi de se retrouver une fois de plus dans l'appartement mal tenu du premier étage de Baker Street, point de départ de tant d'aventures extraordinaires. Il regarda autour de lui: les graphiques savants sur les murs, la table rongée par les acides où s'alignaient les produits chimiques destinés à diverses expériences, l'étui à violon debout dans un angle, le seau à charbon qui contenait comme autrefois des pipes et du tabac. Finalement ses yeux s'arrêtèrent sur le jeune visage souriant de Billy; ce petit groom aussi perspicace que plein de tact avait un peu aidé à combler l'abîme de solitude et d'isolement où vivait le grand détective.

Traduits dans 37 langues, les romans de Sir Arthur Conan Doyle sont des best-sellers dans le monde entier. Le docteur Mortimer rend visite à Sherlock Holmes et son ami le docteur Watson pour leur expliquer les circonstances étranges de la mort de son ami et patient, Sir Charles Baskerville. Le vieil homme au cœur fragile a succombé à une attaque cardiaque après une courte balade dans la lande du Devonshire. Mortimer raconte à Holmes une légende vieille de plusieurs siècles qui court sur cette famille. En 1742, Hugo Baskerville, un ancêtre cruel et brutal, aurait été égorgé par un chien démoniaque après avoir tenté de violer une jeune paysanne. Ce chien roderait toujours sur la lande à la recherche des descendants des Baskerville. Sherlock Holmes reste sceptique sur les explications surnaturelles, mais l'affaire le passionne. Mortimer lui annonce que le dernier héritier des Baskerville, Sir Henry, neveu de Charles, arrive depuis le Canada pour hériter du domaine familial. Sir Henry est un homme d'âge mûr, aventureux, énergique et volontaire, destiné à poursuivre les bonnes œuvres de son oncle. Mais Mortimer hésite à l'emmener sur la lande connaissant le destin funeste de sa famille. Après quelques péripéties à Londres, Holmes et Watson sont certains qu'une influence humaine est bien réelle et présente dans cette affaire. Mais qui pourrait en vouloir ainsi à la famille Baskerville ? Holmes abandonne soudainement l'enquête, prétextant des affaires plus importantes à régler, et demande à Watson de protéger Sir Henry à Dartmoor, une région de brouillard et de tourbières meurtrières. Commence alors une aventure particulièrement intense qui mobilise toutes les capacités d'analyse de nos héros. Niveau : intermédiaire
Download or read book Detective Fiction and The African Scene written by Linus Asong and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2012-04-24 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its very inception, detective fiction has enjoyed a great popularity among the young and the old, the learned and the not so learned. By some unfortunate stroke of irony, its respect has not kept pace with its enormous popularity. For over half a century now, it has remained the bane of creative writing. In strict intellectual circles, it is very rare to find people talk defensively and interestingly about the genre. Yet Asong has chosen to do just that. He has stoutly defended the weak by putting up a good case for its continued existence. He has also shown how irresistible key elements of the genre are to even the best respected novelists. Finally he has demonstrated for the first time, how the genre has been domesticated by African writers of very great repute such as Ngugi, Sembene and Lessing. That he has been able to prove that these writers have used techniques of detective fiction is a significant broadening of the horizons for appreciating creative writing in Africa.
