&quot;I stood like a man paralyzed, still staring at the ground which I had traversed. Then suddenly I saw it. There was movement among the bushes at the far end of the clearing which I had just traversed. A great dark shadow disengaged itself and hopped out into the clear moonlight. I say «hopped» advisedly, for the beast moved like a kangaroo, springing along in an erect position upon its powerful hind legs, while its front ones were held bent in front of it. It was of enormous size and power, like an erect elephant, but its movements, in spite of its bulk, were exceedingly alert. For a moment, as I saw its shape, I hoped that it was an iguanodon, which I knew to be harmless, but, ignorant as I was, I soon saw that this was a very different creature. Instead of the gentle, deer-shaped head of the great three-toed leaf-eater, this beast had a broad, squat, toad-like face like that which had alarmed us in our camp. His ferocious cry and the horrible energy of his pursuit both assured me that this was surely one of the great flesh-eating dinosaurs, the most terrible beasts which have ever walked this earth. As the huge brute loped along it dropped forward upon its fore-paws and brought its nose to the ground every twenty yards or so. It was smelling out my trail. Sometimes, for an instant, it was at fault. Then it would catch it up again and come bounding swiftly along the path I had taken."

&quot;The Lost World" by Arthur Conan Doyle was first published in 1912. The story about an expedition to the Amazon basin, where dinosaurs and other extinct creatures still survive, soon became a bestseller. The character of Professor Challenger was introduced in «The Lost World».

&quot;His Last Bow: Some Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes" is a collection of seven previously-published Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle. Five of the stories were published in «The Strand Magazine» between September 1908 and December 1913. The final story, an epilogue about Holmes&apos; war service, was first published in «Collier&apos;s» on 22 September 1917—one month before the book&apos;s premier on 22 October. Some later editions of the collection include «The Adventure of the Cardboard Box», which was also collected in «The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes» (1894). «The Strand» published «The Adventure of Wistaria Lodge» as «A Reminiscence of Sherlock Holmes», and divided it into two parts, called «The Singular Experience of Mr. John Scott Eccles» and «The Tiger of San Pedro». Later printings of «His Last Bow» correct «Wistaria» to «Wisteria». Also, the first US edition adjusts the subtitle to «Some Later Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes». All editions contain a brief preface, by «John H. Watson, M.D.». The preface assures readers that as of the date of publication (1917), Holmes is long retired from his profession of detective—but is still alive and well, albeit suffering from a touch of rheumatism.

&quot;A Study in Scarlet" is a detective mystery novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, introducing his new characters, «consulting detective» Sherlock Holmes and his friend and chronicler, Dr. John Watson, who later became two of the most famous characters in literature. Conan Doyle wrote the story in 1886, and it was published the following year. The book&apos;s title derives from a speech given by Holmes to Doctor Watson on the nature of his work, in which he describes the story&apos;s murder investigation as his «study in scarlet»: «There&apos;s the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it.» (A «study» is a preliminary drawing, sketch or painting done in preparation for a finished piece.) The story, and its main characters, attracted little public interest when it first appeared. Only 11 complete copies of Beeton&apos;s Christmas Annual 1887 are known to exist now and they have considerable value. Although Conan Doyle wrote 56 short stories featuring Holmes, «A Study in Scarlet» is one of only four full-length novels in the original canon. The novel was followed by «The Sign of the Four», published in 1890. «A Study in Scarlet» was the first work of detective fiction to incorporate the magnifying glass as an investigative tool.

&quot;The Sign of the Four" (1890), also called «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 the Four» has a complex plot involving service in East India Company, 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&apos;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&apos;s future wife, Mary Morstan.

&quot;Espanto en las alturas" se convierte de este modo en una obra que invita al lector a escudriñar paso a paso y momento a momento cual será el desenlace que espera al protagonista de la historia. De una manera bien amena, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle escribió este relato de horror y misterio que sugiere que existen «criaturas del aire» en las capas superiores de la atmósfera.

Ich brauche wohl kaum zu sagen, begann Herr Petrokin, dass Gustav Berger, der englische Agent, uns mit seiner Gegenwart beehrt. Er ist allerdings noch jung, Alexis, fuhr er zu meinem blassen Nachbar gewandt fort, und doch kennt ihn bereits ganz Europa. Na na, sachte, sachte! dachte ich und fuhr mit lauter Stimme fort: Wenn Sie mich meinten, so möchte ich dazu bemerken, dass ich allerdings ein englischer Agent bin, aber dass mein Name nicht Berger, sondern Robinson ist, Tom Robinson, wenn Sie gestatten. Alle brachen auf diese Worte in ein Gelächter aus.
