The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. It was first published on 14 October 1892, though the individual stories had been serialised in The Strand Magazine between June 1891 and July 1892. The stories are not in chronological order, and the only characters common to all twelve are Holmes and Dr. Watson. The stories are related in first-person narrative from Watson`s point of view.
Jack London (1876-1916) was an American novelist, journalist and social activist. Pioneering the genre of magazine fiction and prototyping science fiction, he became one of the first writers, who gained worldwide fame and a large fortune. "Adventure" tells the story a man who finds himself alone on a plantation, harassed by local cannibals and an independent and liberated woman whose arrival at the place changes everything. The novel explores the themes of colonialism and slavery set in the Solomon Islands, the differences between races, feminism, and the strength of the spirit, caught in a struggle with nature and society.
