Study in Terror
￥58.76
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is one of those authors whose literary creation is much more famous than the man himself. Those who do know the name Arthur Conan Doyle tend to know him only as the inventor of the world's greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes. A smaller segment of this group goes further and remembers Doyle as the inventor of the great detective who squandered his fame with crackpot beliefs in faeries and the supernatural. Sadly, there is so much more to the man who revolutionized the writing not just of detective fiction but also of the genre of horror, the supernatural, and even influenced history itself.This two volume anthology's point is to put Doyle back on the pedestal he so rightly deserves. Its aim is twofold. First, to introduce readers to Doyle's lesser known (yet no less important) works. These works speak for themselves in showing a master writer at his craft. The stories are timeless, enjoyable, and hopefully will lead to new fans embracing a great author's somewhat forgotten tales. The second aim is to show the relevance of Doyle's works. Through a collection of articles written by current scholars and experts, readers can see just how revolutionary Doyle's writings remain even today.
Outrage at the Diogenes Club
￥58.76
In 1910, American author and social critic Jack London began writing The Assassination Bureau, Ltd., a work that he never completed. Now, thanks to the recently discovered manuscript of Dr. John Watson, we know why. The early part of London's book describes a secret organization - scoffed at or ignored by police officials - that conspires to murder influential political and social leaders. Not until Sherlock Holmes is provoked into action by threats close to home does anyone appear able to stop the Assassination Bureau. As Holmes and Watson proceed, they uncover devilish plots involving the deaths of some of the most prominent figures in history-from American Presidents to European heads of state, from murderous gangsters to muckraking writers like Jack London himself. With a deadly timing-device ticking, Sherlock Holmes hopes to prevent any further murders from threatening world peace. But by 1912, is he already too late?

Remember Me?
￥58.76
The fact is that it is all far too easy to forget that someone we see as an elderly, dependent and sometimes demanding case once had a full and vibrant rewarding life, prior to the onset of Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Both of these conditions are cruel, affect everyone and are nowadays, all too common an occurrence. This collection of short stories is based around the theme of the seven heavenly virtues. Most of us are familiar with Faith, Hope and Charity. The others are Prudence, Temperance (or Restraint, in today's modern language), Justice and Courage. The aim of this book is to illustrate that people and situations are not always as we see them. In other words, there is something of all of us in this book, or at least someone we know. After reading these stories, the reader should have a reflective reaction, as well as an extra dimension of appreciation when seeing or meeting an elderly person with dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
