Vollständig überarbeitete, korrigierte und illustrierte Fassung Mit 36 Illustrationen Wie kann man Sherlock Holmes nicht kennen? Den berühmtesten Detektiv der Geschichte, der mit seinem messerscharfen Verstand und seiner Ermittlungsart als Vorlage für fast alle kriminalistischen Nachfolger diente. Hier lernen Sie das lesenswerte Original kennen. Dieser Band beinhaltet folgende Kurzgeschichten: - "Im leeren Hause" ("The Empty House") - "Der Baumeister von Norwood" ("The Norwood Builder") - "Das gelbe Gesicht" ("The Yellow Face") - "Der griechische Dolmetscher" ("The Greek Interpreter") - "Sein erster Fall" ("The Gloria Scott") - "Der goldene Zwicker" ("The Golden Pince-Nez") - "Die einsame Radfahrerin" ("The Solitary Cyclist") "Wie weißt du aber, dass Vererbung vorliegt?" "Weil mein Bruder Mycroft die gleiche Gabe in höherem Grade besitzt als ich." Das war in der Tat etwas Neues für mich. Wenn es noch einen so eigentümlich veranlagten Mann in England gab, warum hatten weder Polizei noch Publikum etwas von ihm gehört? So fragte ich und fügte andeutend hinzu, es sei nur die Bescheidenheit meines Freundes, die ihn die Überlegenheit seines Bruders anerkennen lasse. Holmes lachte über diese Vermutung. "Mein lieber Watson", sagte er. "Ich protestiere dagegen, dass man die Bescheidenheit zu den Tugenden rechnet. Dem strengen Denker sollte alles genau so erscheinen, wie es in Wirklichkeit ist, und die Selbstunterschätzung ist ebenso eine Abweichung von der Wahrheit wie die Übertreibung des eigenen Könnens. Wenn ich also sage, Mycroft besitzt ein besseres Beobachtungsvermögen als ich, so kannst du ruhig annehmen, ich rede die genaue und buchstäbliche Wahrheit." Null Papier Verlag www.null-papier.de

Delo odpira nekatere temeljne dileme razmerja med resničnostjo in njenim ubesedovanjem. Osvetlili so jih strokovnjaki različnih disciplin, ki jih povezuje temeljno semiotično stališče o tekstu kot kompleksnem znaku, katerega funkciji sta reprezentiranje resničnosti in pragmatično umeščanje govorečega/spoznavajočega subjekta v to resničnost.

"My all-time favorite. Astonishing." (Stephen King) Down the Rabbit Hole is the first book in the Echo Falls mystery series by bestselling crime novelist Peter Abrahams. Perfect for middle school readers looking for a good mystery. Welcome to Echo Falls, home of a thousand secrets. In Down the Rabbit Hole, eighth grader Ingrid Levin-Hill is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or at least her shoes are. And getting them back will mean getting tangled up in a murder investigation as complicated as the mysteries solved by her idol, Sherlock Holmes. With soccer practice, schoolwork, and the lead role in her town's production of Alice in Wonderland, Ingrid is swamped. But as things in Echo Falls keep getting curiouser and curiouser, Ingrid realizes she must solve the murder on her own—before it's too late. "Deft use of literary allusions and ironic humor add further touches of class to a topnotch mystery," said School Library Journal. "Intriguing twists." Publishers Weekly agreed: "The fresh dialogue and believable small-town setting will tempt fans to visit Echo Falls again." The next book in this Edgar Award-nominated series in Behind the Curtain, followed by Into the Dark.

“Nero Wolfe towers over his rivals...he is an exceptional character creation.” —New Yorker A grand master of the form, Rex Stout is one of America’s greatest mystery writers, and his literary creation Nero Wolfe is one of fiction’s greatest detectives. Here, in this special double edition, the arrogant, gourmandizing, sedentary sleuth and his trusty man-about-town, Archie Goodwin, solve two of their most bizarre cases. Some Buried Caesar A prize bull destined for the barbecue is found pawing the corpse of a late restaurateur. Wolfe is certain that Hickory Caesar Grindon, the soon-to-be-beefsteak bull, isn’t the murderer. But who among a veritable stampede of suspects—including a young woman who’s caught Archie’s eye—turned the tables on Hickory’s would-be butcher? It’s a crime that wins a blue ribbon for sheer audacity—and Nero Wolfe is the one detective audacious enough to solve it. The Golden Spiders A twelve-year-old boy shows up at Wolfe’s brownstone with an incredible story. Soon the great detective finds himself hired for the grand sum of $4.30 and faced with the question of why the last two people to hire him were murdered. To keep it from becoming three, Wolfe must discover the unlikely connection between a gray Cadillac, a mysterious woman, and a pair of earrings shaped like spiders dipped in gold.

Three nights of pleasure . . . Searching for clues in the rough underbelly of London, Marietta must masquerade as a shamelessly wanton wench—much to Gabriel’s delight. But Marietta swears to herself that her passionate moans are just for show. She could never fall in love with such a maddening, arrogant, seductive stranger . . . could she? Three nights of sin . . . Night after night, she satisfies his wicked cravings.
