David was born in Blunderstone, Suffolk, near Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England, in 1820, six months after the death of his father. David spends his early years with his mother and their housekeeper, Peggotty. When he is seven years old his mother marries Edward Murdstone. David is given good reason to dislike his stepfather and has similar feelings for Murdstone's sister Jane, who moves into the house soon afterwards. Murdstone attempts to thrash David for falling behind in his studies. David bites him and soon afterwards is sent away to a boarding school, Salem House, with a ruthless headmaster, Mr. Creakle.

Dolina trwogi. The Valley of Fear

Arthur Conan Doyle

W 1884 r. Abercrombie Smith, sportowiec i student medycyny na Uniwersytecie Oksfordzkim, zostaje wezwany do pokoi swojego sąsiada i kolegi Edwarda Bellinghama. Bellingham, fanatycznego student egiptologii, który posiada wiele starożytnych egipskich artefaktów, który zemdlał z powodu szoku. Kiedy Smith wykorzystuje swoje umiejętności medyczne, aby ożywić Bellinghama, przyjaciel tego ostatniego, William Monkhouse Lee wyjaśnia, że Bellingham ma dziwną obsesję na punkcie egipskiej mumii, którą kupił na aukcji. Bellingham trzyma mumię w swoim pokoju i nazwa ją Lot 249, bo tak brzmiały słowa, którymi określano ją podczas licytacji. Przez kilka następnych tygodni Smithowi często przeszkadzają odgłosy bełkotu i mamrotania z pokoju Bellinghama. Dozorca budynku, Thomas Styles, zwierza się Smithowi, że słyszał, jak coś chodzi po pokoju Bellinghama, gdy Bellingham jest poza domem. Niedługo potem student o imieniu Long Norton, do którego Bellingham ma od zadawnioną urazę, zostaje brutalnie zaatakowany przez tajemniczą i pozornie nieludzką postać. A co było dalej czytelnik dowie się po lekturze opowiadania. Zachęcamy!
