Story
It is 1872, and a series of gruesome murders is the talk of London. Mycroft Holmes - now 26 and a force to be reckoned with at the War Office - has no interest in the killings; however his brother Sherlock has developed a distasteful fascination for the macabre to the detriment of his studies, much to Mycroft's frustration. When a ship carrying cargo belonging to Mycroft's best friend Cyrus Douglas runs aground, Mycroft persuades Sherlock to serve as a tutor at the orphanage that Douglas runs as a charity, so that Douglas might travel to see what can be salvaged.

Story
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar brings keen insight to the fore in Writings on the Wall: Searching for a New Equality Beyond Black and White, his most incisive and important work of nonfiction in years. He uses his unique blend of erudition, street smarts, and authentic experience in essays on the country's seemingly irreconcilable partisan divide, both racial and political; parenthood; and his own experiences as an athlete, an African American, and a Muslim.

Story
Harlem, capitale virtuale di una altrettanto virtuale nazione: l’America nera. Sulle strade illuminate dai club per bianchi, agitate dalle rivolte e scaldate dalle parole di Martin Luther King e Malcolm X, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar fa le prime esperienze e incontra le tracce del suo passato. A conquistarlo è l’onda lunga dell’Harlem Renaissance, il periodo che dagli anni Venti fino ai Quaranta del Novecento ha impegnato artisti, scrittori, intellettuali che volevano dare dignità ai neri e costruire l’immagine dell’afroamericano moderno.
