Sinopse

In "Afar in the Forest," William Henry Giles Kingston weaves an enthralling tale that seamlessly merges adventure and moral exploration within the lush backdrop of an untouched wilderness. The narrative follows a group of intrepid explorers as they navigate the complexities of life in the forest, engaging with indigenous cultures and confronting the challenges of survival. Kingston's vivid prose and lush descriptions showcase the beauty and peril of nature, reflecting the Victorian era'Äôs fascination with exploration and the sublime. This work epitomizes the literary adventure genre, emphasizing not only the physical journey but also the protagonist's journey towards self-discovery and moral enlightenment. William Henry Giles Kingston, a prolific author and an ardent sailor, drew inspiration from his extensive travels and experiences at sea, which profoundly informed his perspectives on exploration and the human condition. Born in 1814, Kingston began his career writing nautical stories that celebrated the ocean's might and mystery, yet "Afar in the Forest" represents a significant thematic expansion, exploring terrestrial adventures in a more subdued yet equally thrilling manner. His personal convictions, particularly his respect for nature and human integrity, are palpable throughout this narrative. Readers seeking an adventure that transcends mere escapism will find Kingston'Äôs "Afar in the Forest" an indispensable addition to their literary collection. His masterful storytelling invites both young and mature audiences to delve into a world brimming with excitement and moral contemplation, making it a recommended read for those intrigued by the intricate relationship between humanity and the great outdoors.

    If someone had asked Sherlock Holmes later in the year, there is little doubt that he would have said his life began that spring day in 1871 when he met Violet Rushdale upon the moors and ended in the winter some months distant. His mother would have disputed the former claim, and many, both friend and foe, would come to deny the latter. Yet what happened that year nearly cost him his life and his sanity, and strongly influenced the man he was to become. It is well known that the toughest steel that makes the sharpest swords must be plunged into the fire, then beaten and reshaped. So it is as well with the best and wisest of men. 
    The Crack in the Lens tells the tale of how and WHY a young Sherlock Holmes forged himself into the Great Detective.

    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.
