The Adventure of the Stockbroker's Clerk is one of the 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is the fourth of the twelve collected in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes in most British editions of the canon, and third of eleven in most American ones (owing to the omission of the "scandalous" "Adventure of the Cardboard Box"). The story was first published in Strand Magazine in March 1893 and featured seven illustrations by Sidney Paget.

In our own time, when the dark threat of a dystopian world is not an alien or avoidable concept, The Last Man (1826) is revealed as a trailblazing novel.

Cervantes escribió el Quijote con la intención de parodiar los libros de caballerías, que consideraba simples sartas de disparates desprovistas de todo interés. Para conseguir su propósito, ideó la historia de un hidalgo aldeano que enloquece de tanto leer las inverosímiles hazañas de héroes como Amadís y Palmerín, y que, al igual que los caballeros andantes, se echa a los caminos con el noble afán de ayudar a los necesitados. Sin embargo, el Quijote es mucho más que una simple novela humorística, pues constituye una lección magistral sobre la grandeza y la miseria de la condición humana.

I can read your and your baby sister's jagged and fantastic marks without any trouble at all. But I had trouble with those letters which you dictated through your mother and the nurses, for I am a foreigner and cannot read English writing well".
