The riddle of the sands / Erskine Childers

Public ISBD Titre : The riddle of the sands : A record of secret service Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Erskine Childers, Auteur Editeur : Londres [Royaume-Uni] : Wordsworth Editions Année de publication : 2009 Collection : Tales of mystery & the supernatural; Wordsworth classics Importance : 268p. Format : 21cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-84022-178-7 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:823 English fiction : novel ; LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Mots-clés : British-Frisian Islands-Fiction  Great Britain-History-Invasions -Fiction  Frisian Islands-Fiction. Résumé : One of the first and still one of the finest spy stories ever written, Erskine Childers' book introduced Edwardian readers to the idea of a 'secret service'. In an enthralling tale of a duel among the islands and sandbanks of the North Sea, two amateur investigators and yachtsmen discover sinister preparations off the German coast. At great peril both from an implacable enemy and furious storms at sea, they stake their lives on the strength of their doughty boat, the Dulcibella. Will they fight their way back to England in time to sound a warning?The Riddle of the Sands caused a sensation when it appeared in 1903, with statesmen and soldiers drawn into a debate about Britain's readiness to repulse a naval invasion. So strong was its impact that one critic later accused its author of almost single-handedly starting a European war. But its influence would not have been so great if it had not been so powerfully readable, a quality it keeps to this day. Ranked with the greatest work of John Buchan, Joseph Conrad and Ian Fleming, this vintage adventure has lost none of its force.

The woman in white / Wilkie Collins

Public ISBD Titre : The woman in white Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Wilkie Collins, Auteur ; Scott Brewster, Préfacier, etc. ; David Stuart Davies, Editeur scientifique Editeur : Londres [Royaume-Uni] : Wordsworth Editions Année de publication : 2008 Collection : Tales of mystery & the supernatural; Wordsworth classics Importance : 502p. Format : 20cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-84022-084-1 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Mots-clés : Mentally ill-Commitment and detention-England-History-Fiction  England-Social life and customs-Fiction Résumé : "There in the middle of the broad, bright high-road-there, as if it had that moment sprung out of the earth or dropped from the heaven-stood the figure of a solitary woman, dressed from head to foot in white garments." Thus young Walter Hartright first meets the mysterious woman in white in what soon became one of the most popular novels of the nineteenth century. Secrets, mistaken identities, surprise revelations, amnesia, locked rooms and locked asylums, and an unorthodox villain made this mystery thriller an instant success when it first appeared in 1860, and it has continued to enthrall readers ever since. From the hero's foreboding before his arrival at Limmeridge House to the nefarious plot concerning the beautiful Laura, the breathtaking tension of Collin's narrative created a new literary genre of suspense fiction, which profoundly shaped the course of English popular writing. Collins other great mystery, "The Moonstone," has been called the finest detective story ever written, but it was this work that so gripped the imagination of the world that Wilkie Collins had his own tombstone inscribed: "Author of "The Woman In White." . .
