IX The Adventure of the Engineer’s Thumb [UNABRIDGED AUDIOBOOK WITH TEXT]
44
 
 

IX The Adventure of the Engineer’s Thumb [UNABRIDGED AUDIOBOOK WITH TEXT]The story, set in 1889, mainly consists of a London hydraulic engineer, Mr. Victor Hatherley, recounting strange happenings of the night before, first to Dr. Watson who dresses the stump where Mr. Hatherley's thumb has been cut off, and then to Sherlock Holmes himself. Hatherley is visited in his office by an odd, suspicious man who identifies himself as Colonel Lysander Stark. He offers Hatherley a job at a country house to examine a hydraulic press used, as Stark explains, to compress fuller's earth into bricks, but Stark warns Hatherley to hold his tongue about the lucrative job, which will apparently pay 50 guineas.

Don't Go Back to School - A Handbook for Learning AnythingHere is a radical truth: school doesn’t have a monopoly on learning. More and more people are passing on traditional education and college degrees. Instead they’re getting the knowledge, training, and inspiration they need outside of the classroom. Drawing on extensive research and talking to over 100 independent learners, Kio Stark offers the ultimate guide to learning without school.

Donald E. Westlake - Butcher's MoonButcher's Moon (A book in the Parker series) (1974)
A novel by Donald E. Westlake (writing as Richard Stark)
Parker, the master theif who has appeared in fifteen previous tough, lean novels by Richard Stark, now appears in his masterwork. The same hardness of line and clarity of prose that led The New York Times to say that "nobody tops Stark in his objective portrayals of a world of total amorality" is here wedded to a sweep of story and a range of action far beyond the usual thriller. When Parker comes to Tyler, a thriving Midwestern city, he isn't looking for trouble.

All the King's MenAll the King's Men

All the King's Men is a novel by Robert Penn Warren first published in 1946. Its title is drawn from the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty. In 1947 Warren won the Pulitzer Prize for All the King's Men.
All the King's Men portrays the dramatic political ascent and governorship of Willie Stark, a driven, cynical populist in the American South during the 1930s. The novel is narrated by Jack Burden, a political reporter who comes to work as Governor Stark's right-hand man. The trajectory of Stark's career is interwoven with Jack Burden's life story and philosophical reflections: "the story of Willie Stark and the story of Jack Burden are, in one sense, one story."
