Beyond the City (Conan Doyle centennial series) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The narrative unfolds in the placid English countryside. Focusing on the trap of lust and deceit, Doyle highlights the deep influence of trivial matters on our destinies. Revolving around three small groups of Victorian people who were crossing the boundaries of their middle-class lives, he mercilessly comments on the class-division in societies. Astonishing!

About the Author
Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh in 1859. Sent off to boarding school, he cut his teeth as a story-teller amusing his schoolmates with tales and writing letters home to his mother. He practiced medicine and, in 1900, volunteered as a medic in Africa during the Boer War, he was later knighted for his service. Doyle lost a son, two brothers in law, and two nephews to the Great War. He is remembered for the Sherlock Holmes stories and his novel, The Lost World.
