[An alternate cover edition for this ISBN can be found here ] L’Orient Express, il leggendario treno delle spie e degli avventurieri internazionali, occupa un posto importante nell’immaginario collettivo degli appassionati della letteratura poliziesca. Il merito appartiene all’indimenticabile signora del mistero Agatha Christie e alla sua creatura, l’impareggiabile Poirot. In quella che rimane probabilmente una delle sue più celebri imprese, Poirot, salito a bordo di un vagone di prima classe partito da Istambul e diretto a Calais, è costretto ad occuparsi di un feroce delitto. Infatti, mentre il treno è bloccato dalla neve qualcuno tra i paseggeri pugnala a morte il signor Ratchett, un ricco americano. L’assassino deve per forza nascondersi fra i viaggiatori, ma nessuno di loro sembra avere avuto nessun motivo per commettere il crimine. Poirot compie le sue indagini e, come al solito, risolve brillantemente il caso, ma questa volta la soluzione è davvero sorprendente.

After the Lady Vain is shipwrecked, Edward Prendick is plucked from the waves by a passing ship and deposited on a remote island. Here he is the guest of Dr Moreau, whose notorious scientific methods had caused an uproar that left him with no choice but to flee London. Disquieted and appalled by the pained cries of suffering animals, Edward soon realizes that the Doctor is continuing and developing his depraved experiments, and that he too is in great danger. Shocking and suffused with contemporary fears regarding the morality of the latest advances in science and their possible implications for religion, The Island of Dr Moreau is both a ruthless social satire and an exploration of human nature.
[Penguin Readers Level 3]BUT the islanders, seeing that I was really adrift, took pity on me. I drifted very slowly to the eastward, approaching the island slantingly; and presently I saw, with hysterical relief, the launch come round and return towards me.
