Описание
Эксцентричный профессор Астро решает загадки с помощью «здравого смысла» и тонкой иронии. Остроумная пародия на детективный жанр в золотую эпоху."In this exemplary Library of Congress Crime Classics reissue…those seeking quality Sherlock Holmes pastiches in a humorous vein will be well rewarded."― Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
Packed with two dozen stories, The Master of Mysteries offers a twentieth-century, mystical twist on the classic consulting detective genre made popular by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. With Astro, the self-proclaimed "seer of secrets," author Gelett Burgess gives us a detective just as observant and brilliant as Sherlock Holmes―but with feelings.
Astro, the Seer of Secrets, and his lovely assistant, Valeska, sound more like a magic act than a private detection team.
Astro hides his powers of observation and reasoning beneath a turban and a cape, pretending to read palms and consult crystals while in fact keenly observing details that most people miss. Valeska, his beautiful blonde protégé, assists Astro with his investigations, all the while honing her own skills.
Called upon by believers and skeptics both, they adeptly recover what is missing―a rare Shakespeare folio, a missing husband, a kidnapped youngster―while also solving actual murders. But it is their burgeoning romance, and their mutual zeal to work pro bono where matters of the heart are at stake, that set this crime-solving duo apart.
Frank Gelett Burgess (January 30, 1866 – September 18, 1951) was an American artist, art critic, poet, author and humorist. An important figure in the San Francisco Bay Area literary renaissance of the 1890s, particularly through his iconoclastic little magazine, The Lark, and association with The Crowd literary group. He is best known as a writer of nonsense verse, such as "The Purple Cow," and for introducing French modern art to the United States in an essay titled "The Wild Men of Paris." He was the illustrator of the Goops murals, in Coppa's restaurant, in the Montgomery Block and author of the popular Goops books. Burgess coined the term "blurb." has been translated into more than forty-two languages.
