The Whale Tooth

Jack London

It was in the early days in Fiji, when John Starhurst arose in the mission house at Rewa Village and announced his intention of carrying the gospel throughout all Viti Levu. Now Viti Levu means the "Great Land," it being the largest island in a group composed of many large islands, to say nothing of hundreds of small ones. Here and there on the coasts, living by most precarious tenure, was a sprinkling of missionaries, traders, beche-de-mer fishers, and whaleship deserters. The smoke of the hot ovens arose under their windows, and the bodies of the slain were dragged by their doors on the way to the feasting.

The Legend of Tyl Ulenspiegel -...

Charles de Coster

Flanders under the Spanish occupation, a boy born the same day as Philip the Second, and the ashes of his burned father worn in a bag round his neck. De Coster wrote the Flemish national epic in French in 1867, and it was ignored until after his death; Tyl the trickster becomes the resistance itself. Thirteen plates of Brueghel and Teniers bring the peasant world of proverbs, carnival and winter fairs that Tyl turns topsy-turvy into the book itself.

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

The world's greatest detective returns - and this time, not everyone makes it out alive.

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes picks up where The Adventures left off, and Conan Doyle is in full command of what makes these stories work. Holmes is sharper than ever. The cases are darker. And lurking behind everything in this collection is the shadow of Professor Moriarty - the Napoleon of Crime, the one adversary worthy of Holmes himself.

Twelve stories that take Holmes and Watson from the drawing rooms of London to the Swiss Alps, through conspiracies, murders, disappearances, and one final confrontation that shook readers around the world when it was first published. Conan Doyle actually tried to kill Holmes in this collection. His readers never forgave him - and eventually, neither did he.

These are some of the finest detective stories ever written. The game is very much afoot.
