  The Man with the Twisted Lip, one of 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by the British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is the sixth of 12 stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. It was first published in Strand Magazine in 1891. 
  Neville St. Clair, a respectable businessman, has disappeared, and his wife claims she saw him at the upper window of an opium den. When she entered the room, she found only a beggar. St. Clair's clothes are later found in the room, and his coat, laden with coins, in the River Thames outside the window. The beggar is arrested for murder, but a few days later St. Clair's wife receives a letter from her husband. 
  Holmes considers and watches the beggar to discover that he is actually St. Clair, who confesses that he has been leading a double life as a beggar, as the income is so large, but he promises to stop begging if Holmes will keep his secret from his wife.

  H G Wells - Six of the Best -...

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

  A study of one of the most beloved and strong heroines in the history of American literature.
   
  Part of the great western migration of the late 1800s, Ántonia Shimerda and her Bohemian family settle in Nebraska to start a new life on the Great Plains. Jim Burden, a child just a couple of years older than Ántonia, travels the same route from the east and becomes, with his grandparents, the Shimerdas’ nearest neighbor. Jim becomes Ántonia’s tutor and good friend, and ultimately he chooses to write down her story. Here is a grounded portrait of one woman’s life on the desolate American prairie as the 19th century turns to the 20th and a sweeping take on what it can mean to be American through hardship.

  "Metamorphosis" is one of Franz Kafka's most renowned and influential works. It tells the story of Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman who awakens one morning to find himself transformed into a giant insect-like creature. The narrative delves into the profound alienation, guilt, and absurdity experienced by Samsa, who becomes an outcast in his own home and a source of shame and revulsion to his family. Kafka's novella is a powerful exploration of human identity, the nature of existence, and societal reactions to the unfamiliar and grotesque.
