Major-General Sir Richard Hannay is called in to investigate rumours of an uprising in Constantinople. Once there, he and his friends must thwart the Germans' plans to use religion in winning the war. The book opens in November 1915, with Hannay and his friend Sandy convalescing from wounds received at the Battle of Loos. Sir Walter Bullivant, a senior intelligence officer, summons Hannay to the Foreign Office. Bullivant briefs Hannay on the political situation in the Middle East, suggesting that the Germans and their Turkish allies are plotting to create a Muslim uprising, that will throw the Middle East, India and North Africa into turmoil. Bullivant proposes that Hannay investigate the rumours, following a clue left on a slip of paper with the words ""Kasredin"", ""cancer"" and ""v.I"" written by Bullivant's son a spy, who was recently killed in the region... Richard Hannay is a character created by Scottish novelist John Buchan, based on Edmund Ironside, from Edinburgh, a spy during the Second Boer War. John Buchan (1875-1940) was a Scottish novelist and historian and also served as Canada's Governor General. His 100 works include nearly thirty novels, seven collections of short stories and biographies.

The Complete Short Stories - Volume Three by John Buchan Pdf

The stories in this third and final volume of John Buchan's complete short stories were written between 1912 and his death in 1940. These are the stories published when Buchan was at the height of his fame. Eight of them appear here for the first time as part of his oeuvre. Several of the stories in this collection are drawn from Buchan's experiences as a war correspondent in the First World War, first on the Western Front and then running wartime propaganda, but they are very varied in subject and treatment. The stories range from Richard Hannay's eerie tale set in the Transvaal and the Duke of Burminster's comic adventure in the Scottish Borders to Edard Leithen's tangle with South American revolutionaries in central London and Oliver Pugh's journey of discovery in 'the Sachischen Sweitz'. Also included are two of Buchan's children's stories, 'The Magic Walking Stick' and 'The Strange Adventures of Mr Andrew Hawthorn'. John Buchan has the gift of all great story tellers of making the reader want to turn the page to see what happens next. Inevitably, some of his stories, written to a deadline, are merely workmanlike but some have the mark of greatness: the ability to stay in the mind of the reader long after the story has been read. 'Fans - and they are still numbered in tens of thousands - forget or do not even know that he had been a sort of infant prodigy. At Oxford he took on a literary agent and he achieved an entry in Who's Who when he was only 23. That was on the strength of some of the writing represented in these reissues of his early short stories . . .' - Sunday Telegraph 'Among the most successful authors of his generation . . .' - Connoisseurs Scotland 'There is much in the book to interest and delight any Buchan addict.' - Evening Standard "Andrew Lownie has done a skilful job in editing them, and it is good to have the complete set." Douglas Hurd, The Sunday Telegraph "Here are riches indeed...they can stand in the same company as anything written by his contemporaries Walter de la Mare or AE Coppard." Trevor Royle, Scotland on Sunday 'If the novelist and writer of short stories, John Buchan, is enjoying something of a revival it is due in large part to his biographer, Andrew Lownie...This is a welcome addition to the library of British letters.' The Contemporary Review ..".displays Buchan's mastery of an art-form which has suffered sorely from the unholy alliance of paperback and television....this collection will be indispensable for any estimate of Buchan as a writer. The three introductions and the editorial notes are full of insights into Buchan's techniques as well as his kindly but ironical sense of humour, his interests, emotions, and obsessions. " The Herald ..".a reminder, not only of Scotland's influence on Buchan's imagination, but his talent as a writer of short stories, a notoriously difficult genre." Literary Review ..".they should certainly be in the libraries of institutions where modern Scottish literature is part of the course..." Books in Scotland "We find in these stories many of Buchan's pet obsessions, like mountaineering, the art of disguise and the power of the temenos or sacred pagan grove." The Spectator ..".there is much in the book to interest and delight any Buchan addict." John Grigg, Evening Standard ..".the definitive Buchan collection...Any fan of Buchan would find these a delightful read." Chapman Magazine "This is a handsome and, for Buchan addicts, an indispensable addition to their shelves...editor Andrew Lownie's introductions to each volume, and his notes on the genesis and publishing history of every story in the canon, are brief but scholarly, vitally informative without being partisan."

Days to Remember by John Buchan,Henry Newbolt Pdf

The British Army during World War I fought the largest and most costly war in its long history. Unlike the French and German Armies, its units were made up exclusively of volunteers—as opposed to conscripts—at the beginning of the conflict. Furthermore, the British Army was considerably smaller than its French and German counterparts. Yet the army showed exemplary valour and courage on the battlefield. Buchan and Newbolt bring their expert analysis into their overview of the Great War and the reasons for it. John Buchan (1875-1940) was a Scottish novelist, historian and also served as Canada's Governor General. With the outbreak of the First World War, Buchan worked as a correspondent in France for The Times. Sir Henry John Newbolt (1862–1938) was an English poet, novelist and historian. He also had a very powerful role as a government adviser. He is perhaps best remembered for his poems "Vitaï Lampada" and "Drake's Drum".

The Island of Sheep by John Buchan Pdf

I have never believed, as some people do, in omens and forewarnings, for the dramatic things in my life have generally come upon me as suddenly as a tropical thunderstorm. But I have observed that in a queer way I have been sometimes prepared for them by my mind drifting into an unexpected mood. I would remember something I had not thought of for years, or start without reason an unusual line of thought. That was what happened to me on an October evening when I got into the train at Victoria.That afternoon I had done what for me was a rare thing, and attended a debate in the House of Commons. Lamancha was to make a full-dress speech, and Lamancha on such an occasion is worth hearing. But it was not my friend's eloquence that filled my mind or his deadly handling of interruptions, but a reply which the Colonial Secretary gave to a question before the debate began. A name can sometimes be like a scent or a tune, a key to long-buried memories. When old Melbury spoke the word 'Lombard,' my thoughts were set racing down dim alleys of the past. He quoted a memorandum written years ago and incorporated in the report of a certain Commission; 'A very able memorandum,' he called it, 'by a certain Mr. Lombard,' which contained the point he wished to make. Able! I should think it was. And the writer! To be described as 'a certain Mr. Lombard' showed how completely the man I once knew had dropped out of the world's ken.
