Sinopsis

In "The Will to Live" (Les Roquevillard), Henry Bordeaux intricately weaves a narrative that explores the complex fabric of human resilience and the relentless pursuit of existence amidst adversity. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century France, Bordeaux employs a lyrical and evocative prose style that mirrors the emotional depth of his characters, delving into their profound struggles and desires. The novel grapples with themes of identity, familial ties, and the philosophical underpinnings of life's meaning, positioning itself within the broader context of literary exploration of existentialism that was gaining prominence during this era. Henry Bordeaux, a prominent French novelist, was deeply influenced by the socio-political upheavals of his time, which is clearly reflected in his work. His rich literary career, marked by an acute awareness of the human condition and societal dynamics, encouraged him to examine the dichotomy of desire versus reality. Bordeaux's experiences as a soldier during World War I further fueled his understanding of survival and the will to persevere, elements that resonate profoundly within this novel. I highly recommend "The Will to Live" to readers seeking an emotionally charged narrative that thoughtfully examines the intricacies of human existence. Bordeaux's profound insights and masterful storytelling will engage those interested in philosophical literature, as well as anyone who appreciates a nuanced portrayal of the human spirit's indomitable will.

General de Merville's young daughter Violet has fallen in love with the roguish and sadistic Austrian Baron Adelbert Gruner, who Damery and Holmes are convinced is a shameless philanderer and a murderer. The victim was his last wife, of whose murder he was acquitted owing to a legal technicality and a witness's untimely death. She met her end in the Splügen Pass. Holmes also finds out that the Baron has expensive tastes and is a collector and a recognised authority on Chinese pottery.Holmes's first step is to see Gruner, who is amused to see Holmes trying to "play a hand with no cards in it". The Baron will not be moved and claims that his charm is more potent than even a post-hypnotic suggestion in conditioning Violet's mind to reject anything bad that might be said about him. Gruner tells the story of Le Brun, a French agent who was crippled for life after being beaten by thugs after making similar inquiries into the Baron's personal business...Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, Stories of Sherlock Holmes, The Lost World.

Anne of Avonlea is a 1909 novel by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery (published as L. M. Montgomery).
Anne is about to start her first term teaching at the Avonlea school, although she will still continue her studies at home with Gilbert, who is teaching at the nearby White Sands School. The book soon introduces Anne's new and problematic neighbour, Mr. Harrison, and his foul-mouthed parrot, as well as the twins, Davy and Dora. They are the children of Marilla's third cousin and she takes them in when their mother dies while their uncle is out of the country. Dora is a nice, well-behaved girl, somewhat boring in her perfect behaviour. Davy is Dora's exact opposite, much more of a handful and constantly getting into many scrapes. They are initially meant to stay only a short time, but the twins' uncle postpones his return to collect the twins and then eventually dies. Both Anne and Marilla are relieved (Marilla inwardly, of course) to know the twins will remain with them.
