Reborn from the ashes of a Pakistan rubbish heap, this volume tells of a friendship between a writer and an artist, forged on an impecunious, life- enhancing journey from Serbia to Afghanistan in the 1950s.
Every one of the immortal Sherlock Holmes novels appears in this single volume, unabridged, embellished with beautiful original illustrations, and reasonably priced. The classic works include: " A Study in Scarlet, "the very first Holmes adventure"; The Sign of Four, "where Holmes solves the case of a missing treasure in India"; The Hound of the Baskervilles, "in which Holmes and Watson find themselves involved in an age-old curse; and "The Valley " "of Fear, "with a battle between Holmes and his nemesis, Professor Moriarty." ""Remarkably affordable and complete. Reproductions of old illustrations are enchanting.""--Baltimore Sun."
Vividly capturing the heat, sounds and smells of southern Italy, Conversations in Sicily astounds with its modernity, lyricism and originality
