Lillie M. Evans Library District Book Club May 22, 2017
Lillie M. Evans Library District Book Club May 22, 2017 Biography: Author and television scriptwriter Anthony Horowitz was born in Stanmore, England. He attended boarding and public schools. He graduated from the University of York and published his first book, Enter Frederick K. Bower (1979), when he was 23. Anthony writes mostly children's books, including the Alex Rider series, The Power of Five series, and the Diamond Brothers series. The first Alex Rider book was made into a movie entitled Stormbreaker. He also writes novels for adults including The Killing Joke and The Magpie Murders. He has created Foyle's War and Midsomer Murders for television as well as written episodes for Poirot and Murder Most Horrid. Most recently he was commissioned by the Ian Fleming Estate to write the James Bond novel Trigger Mortis. Anthony was awarded Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his services to literature in January 2014. (Source: Bowker Author Biography) Similar Resources: Discussion Questions: 1. Anthony Horowitz's acknowledgements say, "Writing this book has been a joy and my hope is that I will have done some justice to the original." From what you know of Arthur Conan Doyle's novels, how does Anthony Horowitz's version compare? 2. "Holmes, you insist upon seeing yourself as a machine." — John Watson. Do you believe this to be so? Or do you think that Dr. Watson is oversimplifying Holmes character based on previously solved cases? 3. What were your reactions to the realization of what the House of Silk was and what it entailed? Some early novelists insisted that murder was the worst of crimes: has murder been devalued so much that other things are needed to shock readers? 4.

That is not because everyone has read Arthur Conan Doyle's stories about this famous character. Ever since the stories were first published in 1887 they have been adapted into screen films and television series. During these 100 years the character has also transformed. Newer adaptations have also been inspired by previous adaptations, which changes the Holmes that was first created by Conan Doyle into a character that the everyone who adapts him contributes to. Film adaptations are a filmmaker's interpretations of stories and characters. In recent years several Sherlock Holmes adaptations have been created. Many alterations regarding the original stories by Doyle have been made to please the contemporary audience. Due to limited time and space, this thesis shall focus mainly on the BBC series Sherlock created by Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat, which first aired in 2010. Gatiss and Moffat have analysed the characters and stories thoroughly; they have then deconstructed them en reassembled them in twenty-first century England.

Reading Groups Collection Multiple-Copy Titles Available for Loan Master List Revised May 2019
Reading Groups Collection Multiple-Copy Titles Available for Loan Master list revised May 2019 Susan ABULHAWA - Mornings in Jenin (2011, 352 pages) Palestine, 1948. A mother clutches her six-month-old son as Israeli soldiers march through the village of Ein Hod. In a split second, her son is snatched from her arms and the fate of the Abulheja family is changed forever. Forced into a refugee camp in Jenin , the family struggles to rebuild their world. Their stories unfold through the eyes of the youngest sibling, Amal, the daughter born in the camp who will eventually find herself alone in the United States; the eldest son who loses everything in the struggle for freedom; the stolen son who grows up as an Israeli, becoming an enemy soldier to his own brother. Mornings in Jenin is a novel of love and loss, war and oppression, and heartbreak and hope, spanning five countries and four generations of one of the most intractable conflicts of our lifetime. Ayobami ADEBAYO - Stay with me (2017, 298 pages) Yejide is hoping for a miracle, for a child. It is all her husband wants, all her mother-in-law wants, and she has tried everything - arduous pilgrimages, medical consultations, dances with prophets, appeals to God. But when her in- laws insist upon a new wife, it is too much for Yejide to bear. It will lead to jealousy, betrayal and despair. Unravelling against the social and political turbulence of '80s Nigeria, Stay with Me sings with the voices, colours, joys and fears of its surroundings. Ayobami Adebayo weaves a devastating story of the fragility of married love, the undoing of family, the wretchedness of grief and the all-consuming bonds of motherhood.

Trenches: the War Service of Sherlock
Trenches: The War Service of Sherlock Holmes A Facsimile of the Partial Original Manuscript of “His Last Bow” by Arthur Conan Doyle with Annotations and Commentary on the Story and Studies of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle and World War I Edited & introduced by Robert Katz, MD, BSI and Andrew Solberg, BSI Order it at: www.bakerstreetjournal.com 288 pages, 10” x 7” hardcover, December 2017 With the manuscript reproduction plus 48 b&w illustrations August 1914 – Mycroft Holmes and Pre-War European Diplomacy by Ross Davies What caused World War I? And how was it that the diplomats and their masters failed to avert such an obviously disastrous bloodbath?1 Scholars cannot agree. Indeed, even among elite European historians (a crowd that specializes in studying the evolution of a complex of complex cultures), the tangled threads that led to the Great War are viewed as an extraordinarily terrible mare’s nest. Nevertheless, there is enough common ground on some main themes to make for a fairly coherent conventional narrative of pre-war European diplomacy. It begins in October 1879 — when Austria-Hungary and Germany formed the Dual Alliance. It ends in August 1914 — when diplomacy failed and the Central Powers (Austria-Hungary and Germany) and the Entente Powers (France, Russia and Great Britain) declared war on each other. That passage of 35 years also marks, roughly, the span of Mycroft Holmes’s career in the British government. His involvement in the maneuverings of the great powers in those times may be invisible to most modern eyes (as it was to his contemporaries), but there are clues.
