These old women are only 70 years old, but in the history of Walpole, written in 1924, they are seriously ancient, poor,...Data dostępności:

Expiation – ebook
E. Phillips Oppenheim
A solitary cabin stood far away in the backwoods of Canada, outside all tracks of civilization, in a region which only the native Indians and a few daring trappers cared to penetrate. Rudely built of pine logs, it was ill-calculated to withstand the piercing cold and frost which, for nine months out of the twelve, holds this region in an iron grip. Around it, a small clearing had been effected, but...Data dostępności:

In other words, we follow our heroes from one stop to the next and meet interesting characters, rather than unraveling a mystery. The novel is a late example of the picaresque, a style of story in which we follow a rough,...Data dostępności:
