Nejlepší detektiv všech dob Sherlock Holmes a jeho věrný pomocník doktor Watson vyráží z londýnské Baker Street řešit své další tři případy: V prvním se Holmes potká s „ženou všech žen“ Irenou Adlerovou a předejde skandálu v Čechách, ve druhém bude na temných blatech pronásledovat psa baskervillského a ve třetím se utká se svým úhlavním nepřítelem – doktorem Moriartym. Bude to opravdu Holmesův poslední případ?
"Penguin Readers" is a series of simplified novels, film novelizations and original titles that introduce students at all levels to the pleasures of reading in English. Originally designed for teaching English as a foreign language, the series' combination of high interest level and low reading age makes it suitable for both English-speaking teenagers with limited reading skills and students of English as a second language. Many titles in the series also provide access to the pre-20th century literature strands of the National Curriculum English Orders. "Penguin Readers" are graded at seven levels of difficulty, from "Easystarts" with a 200-word vocabulary, to Level 6 (Advanced) with a 3000-word vocabulary. In addition, titles fall into one of three sub-categories: "Contemporary", "Classics" or "Originals". At the end of each book there is a section of enjoyable exercises focusing on vocabulary building, comprehension, discussion and writing. Some titles in the series are available with an accompanying audio cassette, or in a book and cassette pack. Additionally, selected titles have free accompanying "Penguin Readers Factsheets" which provide stimulating exercise material for students, as well as suggestions for teachers on how to exploit the Readers in class
Také známé jako Matyáš Sandorf. Nádherné ilustrace od Zdeňka Buriana. Dobrodružný román o osudech maďarského revolucionáře, který unikne smrti a za svůj životní cíl pokládá povinnost pomstít své druhy.
'Il mastino dei Baskerville' un libro che, secondo le intenzioni dell'autore, non avrebbe mai dovuto vedere la luce. Perché nell'avventura precedente Sherlock Holmes era precipitato, insieme al suo acerrimo nemico Moriarty, in un crepaccio, inghiottito dalle tenebre. Un finale che non riuscì gradito ai lettori. E così, costretto dalle insistenze del pubblico e dell'editore, Conan Doyle fece 'resuscitare' il suo personaggio abbandonando il genere del romanzo storico cui avrebbe preferito dedicarsi. Il risultato è questo Mastino dei Baskerville, edito nel 1902.
