“In all this miserable business,” said the writer, “which has cost us the loss of a considerable portion of our merchant fleet and more than p. 47fifty thousand civilian lives, there is just one consolation to be found.

Had we endured this humiliation at the hands of any of the first-class Powers it would certainly have entailed the loss of all our Crown Colonies and tropical possessions, besides the payment of a huge indemnity. We were absolutely at the feet of our conqueror and had no possible alternative but to submit to her terms, however onerous.

In the grip of any other Power we should have ceased to exist as an Empire.

Una raccolta di racconti scritti dalla penna di Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, meno famosi di quelli di Sherlock Holmes; alcuni più coinvolgenti, altri un po' meno, ma utile per conoscere l'opera del grande autore.
Menzione speciale per l'edizione, sempre mirabile, della Abe Editore.
I'm particularly fond of this writer.
Un Arthur Conan Doyle diverso da quello canonicamente inteso, una raccolta di racconti mai scontati e soprattutto diversissimi l'uno dall'altro. È bello scoprire che c'e sempre qualcosa da riscoprire nei vecchi autori.
The title story of this volume was written about eighteen months before the outbreak of the war and was intended to direct public attention to the great danger which threatened their country. It is a fact from the history of war how this warning turned out to be quite actual and how even down to the
