Publisher's Summary:

I Onkel Toms hytte flger vi den gode, pligtopfyldende slave Tom. I starten af bogen er Tom en dybt vrdsat og betroet slave hos en rar, hvid familie i Kentucky, men da familien kommer i store konomiske problemer, bliver de - meget imod deres vilje - ndt til at slge Tom. Han ender til sidst hos den brutale slaveejer Legree i Louisiana. I mellemtiden arbejder han som slave forskellige steder, men m leve adskilt fra sin kone og sine brn.

Ud over Tom hrer man bl.a. om Eliza og hendes mand George, der stikker af i hbet om at opn frihed i Canada, om den lille, hvide pige Eva, der tydeligt fornemmer slavernes lidelse, og som bliver tt knyttet til Tom, og om den uvidende slavepige Topsy, der bliver Evas veninde.

Onkel Toms hytte var den mest solgte roman i 1800-tallet og den anden mest solgte bog overhovedet - kun overget af Bibelen. Den findes i dag p nsten alverdens sprog, og selvom den oprindeligt er skrevet for voksne, har den erobret en sikker plads i den klassiske ungdomslitteratur.

Title: The Murders in the Rue Morgue

Author: Edgar Allan Poe

Narrator: Phil Chenevert

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 39 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-09-17

Publisher: Paperless

Genres: Classics, American Literature

Publisher's Summary:

"The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham's Magazine in 1841. It has been recognized as the first modern detective story; Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination". Two works that share some similarities predate Poe's stories, including "Das Fräulein von Scuderi" (1819) by ETA Hoffmann and "Zadig" (1747) by Voltaire.

C. Auguste Dupin is a man in Paris who solves the mystery of the brutal murder of two women. Numerous witnesses heard a suspect, though no one agrees on what language was spoken. At the murder scene, Dupin finds a hair that does not appear to be human.

As the first fictional detective, Poe's Dupin displays many traits which became literary conventions in subsequent fictional detectives, including Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. Many later characters, for example, follow Poe's model of the brilliant detective, his personal friend who serves as narrator, and the final revelation being presented before the reasoning that leads up to it. Dupin himself reappears in "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt" and "The Purloined Letter".

The Alpha Detective Story

The Murders in the Rue Morgue is a very small short story that was originally published in Grahamâs Magazine back in 1841. You could scarcely find a simpler plot. Two women are violently murdered in their own apartment by a killer whose entrance and escape seem impossible. Several male voices are heard during the time of the murder, one of which speaks in a language that none of the witnesses can identify. C. Auguste Dupin and his associate travel to the murder scene and solve the mystery.

Dupin is regarded as the first detective (despite not being an actual detective) in the history of literature and The Murders in the Rue Morgue the first detective story. Itâs a very simple story but Edger Allen Poe has such a deft skill as a writer that it feels perfectly crafted even if the solution is revealed almost immediately after the mystery is presented. Poe would use Dupin in several more stories and he is likely the inspiration from some of literatures most acclaimed sleuths including Sherlock Holmes who first appeared in 1887.

I really enjoyed the story and it can be easily read in its entirety in a single sitting over a coffee drink. If you donât like it, well, you wonât have spent much time from your life.

Classic

The book holds its own after all these years. Edgar Allen Poe is a genius. The story is magical and engaging

Poor contrast, difficult reading.

Just one question: my copy has a very poor contrast, making reading dificult.

Other e-books OK. I think the same is occuring with THE MYSTERY OF MARIE ROGET.

It looks like there is a bakground color, instead of black ink over a white sheet.

Any help ?

The original that others followed.

Poe's character, Auguste Dupin, is the original ecentric detective. Conan Doyle copied him in his writings of Sherlock Holmes. Doyle used the same writing style, story set-ups and even copied some of Poe's plots. The Dupin stories

were written forty years before Holmes.

Five Stars

Good novel.

Members Reviews:

I enjoyed it in my childhood and I recently enjoyed it ...

I would not deign to malign a childhood classic such as this. I enjoyed it in my childhood and I recently enjoyed it again. It is possibly a little Olde Worlde for the kids of today but avid readers will still get pleasure from this series. This era of writing has passed and I think the world is poorer for it.

nostalgic indulgence

I think 40 years must have passed since I last read What Katy Did. As a child I read it several times, and although not tall like Katy, in many other ways, being the eldest, a bit of a story teller, and often trying so hard to be good but often failing, I felt I WAS Katy. Reading it now as an adult I can see the strong moral overtones that underlay the story... virtues of patience, tolerance and kindness, that I half realised were in the story, but as a young reader, I think I glossed over in my race to see what would happen to Katy.

I would not recommend this to any younger readers who have not developed reading stamina, but there are still some romantic young souls out there who will also fall under Katy's spell. For adults out there who want to revisit Katy... do it, it may surprise you how much you have forgotten!

Enjoyable, but not on par with other Puffin Classics.

I'm usually a fan of classic children's literature, and I've thoroughly enjoyed many other Puffin Classics, but What Katy Did was just okay. The moral of the story is a bit heavy handed, and Katy, although cute, is hardly one of those wonderfully charming and charismatic characters that will stay with you forever (like Anne of Green Gables or Jo from Little Women). If you like this genre, What Katy Did is worth reading, but it probably won't win a permanent place on your shelf.

Charming, sweet, fun...

Really cute book for kids. Maybe not the most compelling or exciting, but very nice and clean and entertaining. Most of all it is charming. I don't have kids, but I would buy this for them in a heartbeat. Maybe I should start compiling a list!

For adults and children alike

This is a classic book I have never read until now. The wonderfully boisterous Carr family is a delight. Their father, Dr Carr, knows how to bring children up with freedom and love. His sister tries her best to instill discipline but it is an uphill battle. When Katy gets injured she rails against being confined. But gradually there is a change in her attitude and her relationships with the other children and her father and aunt change also. It was an absolute delight to read, and not just for children. Highly recommended
