Sinopse

The lovely Sacha Waverley, the daughter of an impoverished country Vicar, who is a brilliant Greek scholar, is almost as beautiful if in a very demure way as her cousin, Lady Deirdre Lang, who is much more sophisticated and worldly.
 
So when Deirdre visits her at the Vicarage with a very strange request, Sacha finds herself perplexed by her domineering and demanding cousin.
 
       For Deidre has fallen in love with Lord Gerrard and is desperate to join him at his house party. The trouble is that she is already secretly engaged to the Duke of Silchester as she longs to be a Duchess and he is very rich and influential.
 
       Worse still the Duke has been injured in a terrible accident in a gun trap that has left him temporarily blind. And it is clearly Deirdre’s duty to go to him at his Scottish Castle to comfort and cheer him up as he has requested her to do.
 
         Instead Deirdre persuades Sacha to take her place as they are so alike and, although terrified of being exposed as an imposter, she is warmly greeted when she arrives in Scotland as Deidre and does so with aplomb.
 
         Inspired by her beautiful surroundings of lochs and moorlands she heartens the ailing but handsome Duke and soon she is in love. And he with her.
 
         But she is filled with dread of the moment that he regains his sight and can see that she is not who she claims to be!

Presented here are the final twelve tales (of fifty-six) featuring Sherlock Holmes and John Watson as penned by their creator, the legendary Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. These stories appeared between 1921 and 1927 in The Strand and Liberty Magazines and Collier's Weekly and represent the last time Doyle would set pen to paper to describe the adventures of his greatest characters.   From Holmes' confrontation with the charming and murderously evil Baron Gruner in "The Adventure of the Illustrious Client" to the final case in the official Sherlock Holmes canon: "The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place," wherein Holmes must solve a mystery involving a champion racehorse....and a missing family corpse.   Without question the greatest detective in literary history, these are the final Sherlock Holmes stories created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself and the only stories narrated by Holmes himself!   They are presented here in their original and unabridged format.

The Gentleman and the Spy is an 83,000 word Victorian-era lord and valet romance with a country house party and a touch of espionage and international intrigue. 
  
After his father's death Lord Magnus Dawson has more important things to think about than falling in love—like how to earn a living when all he knows is the idleness he was raised with, and the military training he received before selling his commission. 
  
For Toby Marsh, the impetus is as great, though he doesn't have Magnus's family connections to fall back on. A scholarship student at Cambridge, he was forced to spend his last year in college as valet and sometime tutor to a brainless fellow student after his father's sudden death. Now he scrabbles out a living as a freelance tutor. 
  
Then a call from the Foreign Office brings them together. Toby disdains the idle lordling, and Magnus can't seem to treat Toby as more than a servant. As they delve deeper into their assignment, the attraction between them grows. But can they envision a future together when so class and culture conspire to drive them apart?

Fyodor Dostoyevsky's final novel, considered to be the culmination of his life's work, "The Brothers Karamazov" is the story of the murder of Father Karamazov, whose four sons are all to some degree complicit in the crime. Within the context of this crime story evolves a brilliant philosophical debate of religion, reason, liberty, and the nature of guilt in society. Considered by Sigmund Freud as "The most magnificent novel ever written", the excellent translation of Constance Garnett is presented here in this edition of "The Brothers Karamazov".
