Two men meet for a pint in a Dublin pub...In 2012, Roddy Doyle showed us the world anew: through the back-and-forth of two Dublin pub-dwellers. They chewed the fat, set the world to rights, slagged each other unmercifully. And along the way, they chased the ebb and flow and stupidity of the year right to the bottom of their pints.Today, they''re still at it - even over Zoom, if needs be. Collected for the first time, here is almost a decade''s worth of elections and referendums, births and deaths, football, financial crashes, pandemics and the philosophical questions of life, as told through the wit and warmth of Roddy Doyle''s comic genius.Includes: Two Pints, Two More Pints, Two for the Road - and, for the first time in print, Two Pints: The Play and The Zoom Pints

Během první světové války ji Arthur Conan Doyle zařadil do knihy Poslední poklona Sherlocka Holmese (1917), zřejmě i díky jejímu vlasteneckému podtextu.

''There was a rumour, too, that he was a devil-worshipper, or something of that sort, and also that he had the evil eye...'' Arthur Conan Doyle was the greatest genre writer Britain has ever produced. Throughout a long writing career, he drew on his own medical background, his travels, and his increasing interest in spiritualism and the occult to produce a spectacular array of Gothic Tales. Many of Doyle''s writings are recognised as the very greatest tales of terror. They range from hauntings in the polar wasteland to evil surgeons and malevolent jungle landscapes. This collection brings together over thirty of Conan Doyle''s best Gothic Tales. Darryl Jones''s introduction discusses the contradictions in Conan Doyle''s very public life - as a medical doctor who became obsessed with the spirit world, or a British imperialist drawn to support Irish Home Rule - and shows the ways in which these found articulation in that most anxious of all literary forms, the Gothic.

Tales of weird and supernatural suspense from Arthur Conan Doyle, the author best known for the creation of the illustrious detective Sherlock Holmes. The next addition to the Hardback Classics series, with previous titles collecting the works of Sheridan le Fanu, Margaret Oliphant and M.R. James.The luminous fog drifted slowly off the table and wavered and flickered across the room. There in the farther and darkest corner it gathered and glowed, hardening down into a shining core… Although best known for the stories of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a remarkable number of weird and supernatural tales. Pulling at this thread of his fiction reveals a writer deeply fascinated in matters of the occult, the uncanny and the unexplainable, with his belief in spiritualism later in life only adding to his passion for the unknown. This volume collects Doyle’s most enduring strange stories – ranging from monster encounters and deadly hauntings to dark tales of mesmerism – and also includes a new introduction along with Doyle’s never-before-reprinted essay on his own spiritual experiences, "Stranger than Fiction."

Nechme se okouzlit vypravěčským mistrovstvím Arthura Conana Doylea, jehož dílo vyzařuje žíznivou zvědavost, roznícenou fantazii i neuhasitelnou touhu po lepším světě, což ho jednoznačně vřazuje do jednadvacátého století. Tento druhý svazek zahrnuje Doyleovy prózy s dobrodružnými náměty, a to v moderním a jiskřivém českém překladu, přičemž některé z těchto próz vycházejí česky vůbec poprvé. Doyle se intenzivně zajímal o tajemné události a jevy, takže reagoval i na záhadné zmizení americké lodi Marie Celeste, jež byla nalezena roku 1872 opuštěná u Azorských ostrovů za okolností, o nichž se dodnes pouze spekuluje. O vysvětlení se Doyle pokusil v povídce Zpráva J. Habakuka Jephsona. Dalším nevšedním tvůrčím počinem je Vězňova obhajoba, která tvoří pandán ke známé holmesovské povídce Poslední poklona, v níž se Sherlock Holmes ve službách vlasti ujímá role falešného špiona. Třetí svazek, jenž vyjde s několikaměsíčním odstupem, ponese název Doktoři a další vědci. Čtyřdílnou Doyleovskou sérii uzavřeme novým překladem slavného Psa baskervillského, jehož vydání doprovodí působivé dobové ilustrace.

Audiokniha: První detektivní román vydal Doyle v roce 1887, jmenoval se Studie v šarlatové a poprvé v něm představil slavnou dvojici – geniálního detektiva Sherlocka Holmese a jeho věrného přítele a zároveň vypravěče Holmesových případů doktora Watsona. U čtenářů však více zabrala až druhá kniha Znamení čtyř. Po ní následovala výhodná objednávka Strand Magazinu na sérii povídek s Holmesem. Doyle nakonec těchto povídek napsal celkem šestapadesát a na jejich zápletkách se učili řemeslu další detektivní autoři, zatímco některé Holmesovy detektivní postupy prý přebírali policisté ze slavného Scotland Yardu. Příběhy byly tak úspěšné, že se na Strand Magazine stály fronty. Je paradoxem, že povídky, které mu vynesly největší úspěch, psal Doyle kvůli obživě. A protože ho odváděly od psaní vážné literatury, pokusil se – věren svému žánru – Sherlocka Holmese zabít. Rozhořčené protesty čtenářů, a dokonce samotné královny Victorie ho však přiměly – i když odolával dlouhých deset let – Holmese vrátit mezi živé.

Summoned from London, journalist Edward Malone, narrator of Arthur Conan Doyle’s prehistoric-adventure novel The Lost World, finds himself reunited with his erstwhile travelling companions at the country home of their leader, the indomitable Professor Challenger, who, confining his guests in a sealed room with the cylinders of oxygen they have brought at his request, informs them that the Earth is passing through an immense miasma of poisonous ether that will likely extirpate all life. And so the isolated inmates begin a grim and terrifying vigil – but will the toxic vapour dissipate before their limited supply of oxygen is exhausted?Presented here with two short stories representing further thrilling episodes in the illustrious career of Conan Doyle’s other great anti-hero, Professor Challenger – ‘The Disintegration Machine’ and ‘When the World Screamed’ – The Poison Belt is a tour de force of speculative fiction that is the equal of any of the author’s best-known works.The Poison Belt and Other Professor Challenger’s Stories is part of Alma Classics Arthur Conan Doyle Collection which includes: Tales of Adventure and Medical Life, Tales of Long Ago, Tales of Terror and Mystery, Tales of Twilight and the Unseen, The Lost World and The Tragedy of the ...

It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is the series of short stories that made the fortunes of The Strand Magazine, in which they were first published, and won immense popularity for Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. The detective is at the height of his powers and the volume is full of famous cases, including ''The Red-Headed League'', ''The Blue Carbuncle'', and ''The Speckled Band''. Although Holmes gained a reputation for infallibility, Conan Doyle showed his own realism and feminism by having the great detective defeated by Irene Adler - the Woman - in the very first story, ''A Scandal in Bohemia''.Catherine Wynne''s introduction reappraises the stories by looking at Conan Doyle''s medical background and its influence on the creation of the famous detective. This edition also features completely revised explanatory notes to reflect the most recent scholarship on Conan Doyle and Victorian Literature.

The French Revolution is a time of history made familiar from Dickens, Baroness Orczy, and Tolstoy, as well as the legends of let them eat cake, and tricolours. Beginning in 1789, this period of extreme political and social unrest saw the end of the French monarchy, the death of an extraordinary number of people beneath the guillotine''s blade during the Terror, and the rise of Napoleon, as well as far reaching consequences still with us today, such as the enduring ideology of human rights, and decimalization.In this Very Short Introduction, William Doyle introduces the French old regime and considers how and why it collapsed. Retelling the unfolding events of the revolution, he analyses why the revolutionaries quarrelled with the king, the church and the rest of Europe, why this produced Terror, and finally how it accomplished rule by a general. Doyle also discusses how and why the revolution destroyed the age-old cultural, institutional, and social structures in France and beyond. In this new edition, Doyle includes new sections highlighting the main developments in the field since the first edition, before exploring the legacy of the revolution in the form of rationality in public affairs and responsible government.ABOUT THE SERIES: The ...

When Jude Doyle began his transition in the summer of 2020, he had a very public career as a feminist-winning awards from women''s organizations, writing for women''s magazines, publishing books on ''women''s issues.'' Then, after a decade in the movement, he had to walk out in front of the public and tell them he had never been a woman at all. Doyle offers a seldom-heard and much-needed transmasculine perspective on feminist subjects, drawing together strands of intersectional feminist theory and queer and trans politics to show that all their struggles are the same struggle: The fight for bodily sovereignty against a patriarchy that is always eager to hollow us out and use us to further its own agenda. DILF offers a strong rebuke to trans-exclusionary feminisms that seek to drive a wedge between gender-marginalized communities. Using interviews, critical analysis, and Doyle''s own personal experience, DILF proves that feminism is a vital and necessary tool for understanding the politics of the body, whoever you are.
