“We have a new case, Watson!” he exclaimed. “A man is discovered, dead but without a slip of identification upon him, and possessing something of a peculiarly mysterious nature. What more could one ask for on so dull a morning as this?”
London’s bylanes are thriving with mysterious murders and baffling disappearances. With spooky shadows lurking around at every corner of the city’s most inhabited streets, it is up to the great private detective Sherlock Holmes and his veteran physician friend Dr. John Watson to catch these criminals before they disrupt the city’s peace.
When there is no logical explanation in the murder of an old, defenceless woman other than a ‘supernatural attack’, Holmes and Watson step in to prove every person wrong. When supposed commoners stalk a man who is later found dead, they take charge of the investigation. When Holmes’s brother Mycroft urgently calls them to recover an invaluable and oneofakind machine for the government, the duo assure him that they are merely hours away from retrieving it.
The perpetrators of the crimes are at the mercy of the residents of 221b Baker Street.

“Beware of the dangers of interfering with matters that are surely no concern of yours, Mr. Holmes!

DESCRIPTION:
Still wondering what Sherlock Holmes was doing between his reported death in 1891 and his reappearance in 1894? The whole world knew that he died at the Reichenbach Falls, tumbling over the jagged cliff in a deadly embrace with his nemesis Moriarty. But for history’s greatest detective, “death” was only the beginning.
It all started when an Italian scholar travelled from Venice to 221B Baker Street, to beg the help of the legendary detective. He carried an ancient parchment, written in the hand of Marco Polo himself. It was torn in half, centuries ago, to protect the world from a terrifying secret, one that apparently Marco Polo and the Moroccan traveler Ibn Battuta, took dramatic steps to guard. Holmes sprang into action. He faked his death at Reichenbach and proceeded undercover to Venice.

DESCRIPTION:
The Best-Loved novel of one of the world's great writers. Mother, the immortal classic of Maxim Gorky, one of the world's best-loved writers, is the story of the radicalization of an uneducated woman. From her dull peasant existence into active participation in her people's struggle for justice. Through her work she frees herself from the cowed state into which she has been beaten and her simple motherly concern for her son becomes a motherly concern for all oppressed. To read Mother is to undergo a great emotional experience. It is a novel of strength and power, a tribute to the dignity of the individual. As one well-known literary critic puts it and then I came on Mother, the first of Gorky I had ever seen and much of what I had read became thin and tasteless by comparison. It was tapestry after cotton and burlap, living, breathing people after cardboard cutouts, it was the hope and zeal of all human beings.

"God Sees the Truth, but Waits" and "A Prisoner in the Caucasus" which Tolstoy himself considered as his best, "How Much Land Does a Man Need?" depicting the greed of a peasant for land, the most brilliantly told parable, "Ivan the Fool" these are all contained in this volume.

He exposes the brutality of war and the hypocrisy it spawns and depicts the petty limitations, the dissimulations and the vanities inherent at different levels of society. His stories are linked by a trenchant irony and by a preoccupation with the frailty of human nature and the futility of so many lives.
