Als der Erste Weltkrieg das Herz des afrikanischen Dschungels erreicht, werden Charlie Allnutt, ein zerzauster Händler, und Rose Sayer, eine englische Jungfer und Missionarin, durch die Umstände in Deutsch-Zentralafrika zusammengeworfen. Im Kampf gegen die Zeit, die Hitze, Malaria und Kugeln fliehen sie auf dem maroden Dampfschiff Die African Queen und schmieden ihren eigenen waghalsigen Militärplan. Ursprünglich 1935 veröffentlicht, ist Die African Queen eine Geschichte voller klassischer Forester-Dramatik – unermüdliche Spannung, rücksichtslose Heldentaten, spontane militärische Manöver, Nahtoderfahrungen – und dazu eine altmodische Liebesgeschichte.

"Horseracing is the sport of kings, perhaps because racehorses are very expensive animals. But when they win races, they can make a lot of money too - money for the owners, for the trainers, and for the people who put bets on them to win. Silver Blaze is a young horse, but already the winner of many races. One night he disappears from his stables, and someone kills his trainer. The police want the killer, and the owner wants his horse, but they can't find them. So what do they do? They write to 221B Baker Street, London, of course - to ask for the help of the great detective, Sherlock Holmes."--Publisher

John Buchan's The Thirty-Nine Steps introduces Richard Hannay, an ostensibly ordinary man drawn into a perilous race against a conspiracy threatening the British war effort during the First World War. As he navigates the treacherous Scottish moors, Hannay finds himself pursued by both the police and a ruthless spy ring. He must use his wits to outsmart a cunning enemy within the corridors of Whitehall and ultimately confront the mystery surrounding the titular thirty-nine steps. This gripping thriller explores themes of espionage, loyalty, and the struggle for survival, and it has captivated readers since its initial publication. The novel's enduring popularity is reflected in its numerous adaptations, including a notable film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1935. Through Hannay's harrowing journey, Buchan crafts a tale of intrigue and adventure that remains a cornerstone of the genre.
