Produktbeschreibung
The man from Archangel and other tales of adventure opens with a vivid portrait of imperial challenges as seen through the eyes of a young officer posted in the Middle East. The tale begins amid tensions surrounding Mahdist uprisings, immediately placing readers in a climate of instability and potential violence. The officer's assignment to an isolated station in the Sahara forces him to face both external threats and the burden of proving his worth in an unforgiving environment. His mission involves interpreting danger, discerning alliances, and enduring the psychological toll of solitude and suspicion. The entrance of a solitary Arab traveler triggers uncertainty, suggesting both peril and the need for caution in a region where loyalties are elusive. The collection explores how ambition, bravery, and doubt shape human action in moments of uncertainty. While grounded in historical and colonial settings, the stories emphasize internal dilemmas as much as outward danger, drawing attention to the complex interplay between duty, honor, and survival in foreign lands. These narratives blend suspense with introspection, revealing that the harshest battles may unfold in the realm of conscience rather than combat.
Autorenporträt
Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a British writer and physician, best known for creating the iconic detective Sherlock Holmes. Born on May 22, 1859, in Edinburgh, Scotland, Doyle s most famous work, A Study in Scarlet, introduced Sherlock Holmes in 1887, marking the beginning of a series that included four novels and fifty-six short stories. These works became milestones in the development of crime fiction, establishing Holmes and his companion, Dr. Watson, as cultural icons. Doyle s expertise in medicine also influenced his writing, providing a foundation for his character's sharp intellect and deductive reasoning. Beyond the Sherlock Holmes stories, he wrote a wide range of works, including historical novels, science fiction, and plays. In addition to his writing career, Doyle was involved in various social causes and even served as a volunteer doctor during the Second Boer War. He passed away on July 7, 1930, in Crowborough, England, at the age of 71. His literary legacy endures, and he has received several accolades, including the Audie Award for Excellence in Production.
