Download or read book The Sign of the Four written by Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir and published by . This book was released on 2014-10-18 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This premium quality large print edition contains the complete and unabridged original classic version of The Sign of the Four, the second of only four original full-length mystery novels featuring Arthur Conan Doyle's "consulting detective", printed on heavy, bright white 60# paper in a large 6"x9" format, with page headers and a fully laminated full-color cover featuring an original design. This volume, which has been freshly edited and typeset by human editors, not machine-scanned, contains the complete original text and corrects a number of typographical errors introduced in the many various editions published over the years. Additional material collected and presented for Conan Doyle fans, new or old, are a biographical sketch of the author and a detailed selected bibliography of his work. Set in 1888, the story opens with Holmes complaining to Watson about the boredom of a "commonplace" world in which nothing unusual ever happens anymore, when they are interrupted by the arrival of a visibly distressed young lady who relates a strange tale: once each year, she has received a valuable pearl from an unknown source. Having now received a message requesting that she meet her anonymous benefactor, she comes to consult with Holmes. Accompanying Miss Morstan to her appointment, Holmes and Watson are drawn into a complex plot involving the British East India Company, the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857, a murder, stolen treasure, and a secret pact between convicts. But the most immediate problem for Holmes is to track down a mysterious killer and the missing treasure in an adventure which proves to be anything but "commonplace." First published in the February 1890 issue of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine as The Sign of the Four in the London and Philadelphia editions, it was quickly re-published in several British periodicals that gave the title as The Sign of Four. First published in book form in October 1890 with the title The Sign of Four used in both the British and American editions, over the years various reprintings have used the two different forms of the title. The actual text in the novel uniformly uses "the Sign of the Four" with the exception of two instances near the end. We have chosen to use the original title for this edition, which more accurately reflects the content of the text. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) is known the world over as the creator of the famous consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes, but was a prolific writer who produced a large body of work ranging from non-fiction and full-length novels to a wide variety of short stories. Doyle's first major success as a writer came with the debut of Sherlock Holmes in the 1887 publication of "A Study in Scarlet". Holmes was a popular sensation, and more stories followed. By 1891, Sherlock Holmes was enough to provide Doyle a living, but Doyle came to resent Holmes, who kept him from what he considered "more important" work. In 1893 he "killed" Holmes, as the detective and his archenemy, Professor Moriarty, plunged to their deaths at Reichenbach Falls in "The Final Problem". It was no mere publicity stunt. Doyle considered himself finished with Mr. Sherlock Holmes. The public uproar in reaction to Holmes' "death" shocked Doyle, with even his own mother complaining, and as the clamor continued he was forced to bring the detective back in "The Hound of the Baskervilles", published, to vast public sigh of relief, in 1901. Ironically, the character Doyle resented as a "distraction" from serious work would ultimately appear in fifty-six short stories and four novels, together with countless adaptations to films, television, cartoons, and modern pastiches by an assortment of authors. In fact, the "world's first consulting detective" is widely regarded, along with Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan, as the best-known fictional characters in the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study in Scarlet, And, the Sign of the Four Two years later, in 1882, after a four months' voyage to the west coast of Africa, he settled down as a medical practitioner at Southsea, in England, Where he remained until 1890. Those were arduous and trying years, in which he Came to regard the calls of the profession he had adopted as interruptions in the real work of his life, and found that the writing of stories was a very Slender prop upon Which to lean for a livelihood. Fifty little cylin ders of manuscript, he says, did I send out during eight years, which described a regular orbit among publishers, and usually came back, like paper boomerangs, to the place that they had started from. All this time he was writing anonymously, and during the ten years of his liter ary apprenticeship, he states that, in spite of unceasing and untiring literary efiort, he never in any one year earned fifty pounds by his pen. Another grievous dis appointment which added to his harassing experience at this period was the disappearance of a long story entitled The Narrative of yohn Smith, upon which he had spent a great deal of pains and time. It was lost in the mails and never heard of again. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sign of Four is the second novel featuring Sherlock Holmes written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Doyle wrote four novels and 56 stories starring the fictional detective. The story is set in 1888. The Sign of Four has a complex plot involving service in India, the Indian Rebellion of 1857, a stolen treasure, and a secret pact among four convicts ("the Four" of the title) and two corrupt prison guards. It presents the detective's drug habit and humanizes him in a way that had not been done in the preceding novel, A Study in Scarlet (1887). It also introduces Doctor Watson's future wife, Mary Morstan. According to Mary, in December 1878, her father had telegraphed her upon his safe return from India and requested her to meet him at the Langham Hotel in London. When Mary arrived at the hotel, she was told her father had gone out the previous night and not returned. Despite all efforts, no trace has ever been found of him. Mary contacted her father's only friend who was in the same regiment and had since retired to England, one Major John Sholto, but he denied knowing her father had returned. The second puzzle is that she has received six pearls in the mail from an anonymous benefactor, one per year since 1882 after answering an anonymous newspaper query inquiring for her. With the last pearl she received a letter remarking that she has been wronged and asking for a meeting. Holmes takes the case and soon discovers that Major Sholto had died in 1882 and that within a short span of time Mary began to receive the pearls, implying a connection. The only clue Mary can give Holmes is a map of a fortress found in her father's desk with the names of Jonathan Small, Mahomet Singh, Abdullah Khan and Dost Akbar. Holmes, Watson, and Mary meet Thaddeus Sholto, the son of the late Major Sholto and the anonymous sender of the pearls._We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
