John Thorndyke's Cases

Autor R. Austin Freeman
en Limba Engleză Paperback
There are, I suppose, few places even on the East Coast of England more lonely and remote than the village of Little Sundersley and the country that surrounds it. Far from any railway, and some miles distant from any considerable town, it remains an outpost of civilization, in which primitive manners and customs and old-world tradition linger on into an age that has elsewhere forgotten them. In the summer, it is true, a small contingent of visitors, adventurous in spirit, though mostly of sedate and solitary habits, make their appearance to swell its meagre population, and impart to the wide stretches of smooth sand that fringe its shores a fleeting air of life and sober gaiety; but in late September-the season of the year in which I made its acquaintance-its pasture-lands lie desolate, the rugged paths along the cliffs are seldom trodden by human foot, and the sands are a desert waste on which, for days together, no footprint appears save that left by some passing sea-bird.

Notă biografică

Dr. Richard Austin Freeman (born 11 April 1862-died September 28, 1943). He was a British author of detective stories, for the medico-legal forensic investigator Dr. Thorndyke. He created the confusing detective story, a crime fiction wherein the commission of the crime is portrayed toward the start, normally including the personality of the culprit, with the story, then, later describing the detective's attempt to settle the mystery. This innovation has been portrayed as Freeman's most notable contribution to investigator fiction. 30 Freeman involved some of his initial experiences as a colonial surgeon in his books. Various of Dr. Thorndyke's stories include genuine, though sometimes arcane, points of scientific knowledge from regions like tropical medicine, metallurgy, and toxicology.
