The Valley of Fear

Arthur Conan Doyle

Sinopsis

"The valley of fear, the valley of death. The terror is in the hearts of the people from the morning to the night."

A cipher message from a mole in Professor Moriarty's organization warns Sherlock Holmes of a looming danger to a country gentleman named John Douglas. Before Holmes can act, news arrives of a gruesome murder at Birlstone Manor—a moated house where the victim was killed with a bizarre American weapon. The room is locked, the drawbridge is up, and yet the killer has vanished.

The Brotherhood of Terror: The investigation takes a sudden, cinematic turn across the Atlantic to the coal mines of Pennsylvania. Here, the "Valley of Fear" is ruled by a murderous secret society known as the Scowrers. Through the eyes of the daring Jack McMurdo, readers witness a world of infiltration, betrayal, and high-stakes espionage that predates the modern noir thriller.

Holmes's Darkest Rivalry: Unlike other Holmes adventures, The Valley of Fear highlights the terrifying reach of Professor Moriarty. Even from the safety of London, the "Napoleon of Crime" pulls the strings of a global web of violence. This novel is a relentless, two-part epic that proves that even in the most isolated corners of the world, no one is truly safe from the consequences of their past.

Two worlds. One secret. A trail of blood that spans an ocean. Purchase "The Valley of Fear" today and see if you can outguess the Master of Deduction.

Beowulf

Unknown Unknown

Beowulf is an Old English epic poem in the tradition of Germanic heroic legend consisting of 3,182 alliterative lines. It is one of the most important and most often translated works of Old English literature. The date of composition is a matter of contention among scholars; the only certain dating is for the manuscript, which was produced between 975 and 1025. Scholars call the anonymous author the "Beowulf poet". The story is set in pagan Scandinavia in the 6th century. Beowulf, a hero of the Geats, comes to the aid of Hrothgar, the king of the Danes, whose mead hall in Heorot has been under attack by the monster Grendel. After Beowulf slays him, Grendel's mother attacks the hall and is then defeated. Victorious, Beowulf goes home to Geatland and becomes king of the Geats. Fifty years later, Beowulf defeats a dragon but is mortally wounded in the battle. After his death, his attendants cremate his body and erect a tower on a headland in his memory. Scholars have debated whether Beowulf was transmitted orally, affecting its interpretation: if it was composed early, in pagan times, then the paganism is central and the Christian elements were added later, whereas if it was composed later, in writing, by a Christian. Beowulf is written mostly in the West Saxon dialect of Old English, but many other dialectal forms are present, suggesting that the poem may have had a long and complex transmission throughout the dialect areas of England.No definite sources or analogs of the poem can be proven, but many suggestions have been made, including the Icelandic Grettis saga, the Norse story of Hrolf Kraki and his bear-shapeshifting servant Bodvar Bjarki, the international folktale the Bear's Son Tale, and the Irish folktale of the Hand and the Child. Persistent attempts have been made to link Beowulf to tales from Homer's Odyssey or Virgil's Aeneid. More definite are Biblical parallels, with clear allusions to the books of Genesis, Exodus, and Daniel.

Alexander Kuprin

Alexander Kuprin was born in Narovchat, Penza in Russia on 7th September 1870.
At 3 his Father died and he and mother moved to Moscow. By 10 he was enrolled at the Second Moscow Military High School and there his interest in literature began. The Alexander Military Academy followed and two years later he was a sub-lieutenant and posted to an Infantry Regiment for a further four years.

He continued to publish both stories and novels and by 1901 he was in St Petersburg becoming part of a group that included Chekhov, Ivan Bunin, Maxim Gorky and Leonid Andreyev.
In the years that followed further controversial works and acclaim followed. His comments on the regime meant he was also put under secret police surveillance.
As World War I erupted, Kuprin opened a military hospital but was then given command of an infantry company in Finland. He was soon discharged on grounds of ill health.
The October Revolution saw him praise Lenin, but he warned that the Bolsheviks threatened Russian culture and might cause further widespread suffering to the peasants. As Civil War raged he took his family to Helsinki and then on to Paris.
Exile saw his talents decline further and his succumbing to alcoholism. He became lonely and withdrawn. The family's poverty increased his malaise.
In May 1937, the Kuprin’s returned to Moscow. He now saw his work published but wrote almost nothing new. In 1938 his health rapidly deteriorated. Already suffering from a kidney problems and sclerosis, he had now developed cancer of the oesophagus.
Alexander Kuprin died on 25th August 1938.
