Book Synopsis The Adventures of Mr. Harley and Other Stories by : Jane Austen
Download or read book The Adventures of Mr. Harley and Other Stories written by Jane Austen and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2022-03-22 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Mr. Harley was one of many children. Destined by his father for the church and by his mother for the sea, desirous of pleasing both, he prevailed on Sir John to obtain for him a chaplaincy on board a Man of War. He accordingly cut his hair and sailed.' A short but interesting flash fiction story dedicated to a midshipman on board the Perseverance. Written by a teenage Jane Austen, who loved to read her work to her family, these short stories are a perfect insight into the mind of young Austen. Jane Austen (1775-1817) is one of the most beloved British writers of all time. During her short life, she published six novels: ́Sense and Sensibility ́, ́Pride and Prejudice ́, ́Mansfield Park ́, ́Emma ́, ́Northanger Abbey ́ and ́Persuasion ́, which are all considered literary classics today. Her writing is full of sharp observations on the society in which she lived, as well as ripe with timeless irony, and a solid dose of humour. She has created immortal characters that have inspired countless authors, novels, and movies such as Bridget Jones and Clueless. The most notable adaptation is Joe Wright's 2005 Pride and Prejudice, starring Keira Knightley (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession).

Driving down a country road, a flash of chrome catches your eye as you pass an old farmstead. Next time you roll by, you slow down and focus on a shed behind the house. Could that be? Good lord, it is! Hard on the brakes, quick reverse, and pull in the drive. Yep, it's a vintage Triumph Bonneville peering forlornly from beneath a tattered cover. You've just begun the journey that fuels the dreams of every motorcycle collector: the long-forgotten machine, rediscovered. The Harley in the Barn offers forty-plus tales of lost Nortons, hidden Hondas, dormant Indians, and busted BSAs, all squirreled away from prying eyes but found by lucky collectors just like you.

Hell, this is your life.

Book Synopsis Three Blind Mice and Other Stories by : Agatha Christie
Download or read book Three Blind Mice and Other Stories written by Agatha Christie and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2012-08-07 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agatha Christie demonstrates her unparalleled mastery with Three Blind Mice and Other Stories—a classic compendium of mystery and suspense, crime and detection, whose title novella served as the basis for The Mousetrap, the longest running stage play in the history of the London theater. A blinding snowstorm—and a homicidal maniac—traps a small party of friends in an isolated estate. Out of this deceptively simple setup, Agatha Christie fashioned one of her most ingenious puzzlers, which in turn would provide the basis for The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in history. From this classic title novella to the deliciously clever gems on its tail (solved to perfection by Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple), this rare collection of murder most foul showcases Christie at her inventive best, proving her reputation as "the champion deceiver of our time" (New York Times).
Download or read book Ryley written by Albert C. Dawson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-01-27 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RYLEY and OTHER STORIES OF ADVENTURE THE STORIES The dominant focus in these stories, as in the first collection entitled LIFE AT STAKE, continues to be the human will to struggle and survive. Such struggle in moments of crisis not only defines and shapes who the person is, but reveals how he or she developed as a person, and who they will be in the future, pending their survival. Each story portrays at least one aspect of the courage required to confront and, hopefully, to conquer imminent danger. Some win, some lose. That is the normal human equation, but it is of utmost interest to us as readers to observe how that person coped, each of us hoping that we might discover within ourselves traits of the protagonists character that would allow us to act heroically if found in similar circumstances. The exploration and settling of the western frontier and the inspiring and inflammatory events of the Civil War provide the setting for each grouping of adventures.

Inspector Hill comes to the house for a visit bringing news about the cruel and notorious Buckskin Bill. Excerpt: "If he comes my way, I'll shoot him!" said Dot Burton, her blue eyes gleaming in her boyish, tanned face. "I'm not such a bad shot, am I, Jack?" "Not so bad," said Jack, kindly. "But don't shoot at sight, or p'r'aps you'll shoot a policeman—which might be awkward for us both!" "As if I should be such an idiot as that!" protested Dot. "I wasn't born yesterday, anyhow." "No?" said Jack. "Somehow you look as if you were." "Don't you be a donkey, Jack!" said his young sister, with an impudent snap of the fingers under his nose. "Being ten years older than I am doesn't qualify you for that superior pose. You're only a man, you know, after all."

Book excerpt: The undisputed "Queen of Crime," Dame Agatha Christie (1890-1976) is the bestselling novelist of all time. As the creator of immortal detectives Hercule Poirot and Jane Marple, she continues to enthrall readers around the world and is drawing increasing attention from scholars, historians, and critics. But Christie wrote far beyond Poirot and Marple. A varied life including war work, archaeology, and two very different marriages provided the backdrop to a diverse body of work. This encyclopedic companion summarizes and explores Christie's entire literary output, including the detective fiction, plays, radio dramas, adaptations, and her little-studied non-crime writing. It details all published works and key themes and characters, as well as the people and places that inspired them, and identifies a trove of uncollected interviews, articles, and unpublished material, including details that have never appeared in print. For the casual reader looking for background information on their favorite mystery to the dedicated scholar tracking down elusive new angles, this companion will provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date information.
