Through The Magic Door is a collection of essays by the renowned author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In this book, Doyle takes readers on a literary journey through his personal library, sharing his thoughts and opinions on the works of various authors and the impact they have had on his life. The book is divided into twelve chapters, each focusing on a different genre of literature, including poetry, drama, history, and science. Doyle provides insightful commentary on classic works such as Shakespeare's plays, Dante's Inferno, and the novels of Charles Dickens, as well as lesser-known works that he believes deserve more recognition. Throughout the book, Doyle also reflects on the importance of reading and the role it plays in shaping one's character and worldview. He emphasizes the value of reading for pleasure and the joy that can be found in discovering new authors and ideas. Through The Magic Door is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the greatest writers of the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is a must-read for anyone who loves literature and wants to explore the world of books through the eyes of a master storyteller.It must be admitted that, looking back upon history, we have not always been good allies, nor yet generous co-partners in the battlefield. The first is the fault of our politics, where one party rejoices to break what the other has bound. The makers of the Treaty are staunch enough, as the Tories were under Pitt and Castlereagh, or the Whigs at the time of Queen Anne, but sooner or later the others must come in.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
