Adrift in the Unknown or, Queer Adventures in a Queer Realm written by William Wallace Cook. First published in 1904-1906 by Frank A. Munsey Co. and now republished again in ePub file. This book has 19 chapters. There could be no more fitting introduction to this most amazing narrative from the pen of James Peter Munn than that article in the Morning Mercury. Munn, it is no breach of confidence to inform the reader, was a reformed burglar; although the author of two books which achieved large sales and were most favorably received by the reviewers—"Forty Ways of Cracking Safes" and "The Sandbagger's Manual"—Mr. Munn developed small skill with the pen, so that the breathless interest aroused by his revelations hangs more upon the matter than the style. The Mercury article should do its mite toward preparing the reader for what is to come. In the first place, the story was what newspaper men call a "scoop." [mehr]

Leopold von Sacher-Masoch was born in Lemberg, Austrian Galicia, on January 27, 1836. He studied jurisprudence at Prague and Graz, and in 1857 became a teacher at the latter university. He published several historical works, but soon gave up his academic career to devote himself wholly to literature. For a number of years he edited the international review, Auf der Hohe, at Leipzig, but later removed to Paris, for he was always strongly Francophile. His last years he spent at Lindheim in Hesse, Germany, where he died on March 9, 1895. In 1873 he married Aurora von Rumelin, who wrote a number of novels under the pseudonym of Wanda von Dunajew, which it is interesting to note is the name of the heroine of Venus in Furs. Her sensational memoirs which have been the cause of considerable controversy were published in 1906. During his career as writer an endless number of works poured from Sacher-Masoch's pen. Many of these were works of ephemeral journalism, and some of them unfortunately pure sensationalism, for economic necessity forced him to turn his pen to unworthy ends. [mehr]

At the time Jack Danvers journeyed through the Yellowstone National Park, that wonderful country was little known. Since then it has become famous, and people from all parts of the globe go to visit it. There is no more delightful summer excursion possible than a trip to the National Park where—if one can take a pack train and journey away from the beaten roads and trails—it is still possible to see elk and deer and many other wild animals, almost in their old time abundance.

In Praise of Folly is an essay written in Latin in 1509 by Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam and first printed in 1511. The essay was inspired by De Triumpho Stultitiae, written by the Italian humanist Faustino Perisauli, born at Tredozio, near Forlì. Erasmus revised and extended the work, which he originally wrote in the space of a week while sojourning with Sir Thomas More at More's estate in Bucklersbury. In Praise of Folly is considered one of the most notable works of the Renaissance and was employed as one of the catalysts of the Protestant Reformation. [mehr]

Mordgeflüster lag in der Luft, als in der kleinen mittelamerikanischen Stadt der dritte prominente Geschäftsmann spurlos verschwand. Doch die Polizei stand mit leeren Händen da. Sie hatten keinen Toten, keine Beweise, keine Motive - nichts... Sie hatte ihr Todesurteil selbst geschrieben. Jetzt wartet sie auf die Hinrichtung auf dem elektrischen Stuhl. Doch fast alle glauben an ihre Unschuld... Sie nannten ihn Doc, obwohl er nur einen Drugstore auf dem weltberühmten Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood besaß. Doch Doc Hart hatte es zu etwas gebracht mit seinen dreißig Jahren. Aber eine einzige Nacht genügte, um das Erreichte zu verlieren und ihn zu einem Gejagten zu machen... Day Keene (eigentlich Gunard R. Hjertstedt; geboren am 28. März 1904 in Chicago; gestorben am 9. Januar 1969 in Studio City, Los Angeles, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller und Drehbuchautor. Insgesamt veröffentlichte er ungefähr 200 Kurzgeschichten und etwa 50 Romane, zum ganz überwiegenden Teil Detektivgeschichten. Der vorliegende Band enthält die Romane Der Tod in Blond (1955), Das Mädchen in der Todeszelle (1953) und Tote Zeugen reden nicht (1959). Der Apex-Verlag veröffentlicht Der Tod in Blond in seiner Reihe APEX NOIR, in welcher Klassiker des Hard-boiled- und Noir-Krimis als durchgesehene Neuausgaben wiederveröffentlicht werden. [mehr]

IN the year 1878 I took my degree of Doctor of Medicine of the University of London, and proceeded to Netley to go through the course prescribed for surgeons in the army. Having completed my studies there, I was duly attached to the Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers as Assistant Surgeon. The regiment was stationed in India at the time, and before I could join it, the second Afghan war had broken out. On landing at Bombay, I learned that my corps had advanced through the passes, and was already deep in the enemy's country. I followed, however, with many other officers who were in the same situation as myself, and succeeded in reaching Candahar in safety, where I found my regiment, and at once entered upon my new duties.

Today the stagecoach would bring the wages for the railwaymen and he had gathered his deputies to protect their little town Dingstown in Texas from any kind of bandits and other vagabonds.

Let's see what the day brings. [mehr]
