Aprašymas
Virtually every reader of any age at all is familiar with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous creations, Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. Far fewer readers are familiar with his lesser creations - Professor Challenger, Brigadier Gerard, Rodney Stone and Sir Nigel Loring, for example. And even fewer again are aware that he wrote an enormous number of short stories and novels related to a variety of themes including horror and the paranormal, adventure and British imperialism, suspense, medicine and general Victorian life. THE MAN FROM ARCHANGEL (AND OTHER STORIES) is a wonderful anthology of stories broken into two distinct themes. The first is a series of adventure tales and the second, believe it or not, is an entire series of stories that focuses on the topic of Victorian medicine. Fascinating for their historical value and the perspective they give on the practice of medicine over a century ago that Conan Doyle would have perceived as cutting edge, these stories are also quite delightful in that they are primarily charming, whimsical and unfailingly entertaining.
