The Riddle of the Sands

One of the first great spy novels, The Riddle of the Sands is set during the long suspicious years leading up to the First World War. The story builds in excitement as two young men on a sailing holiday discover a German plot to invade England. This edition is complemented by a fine introduction which examines the novel in its political and historical context.

Unul dintre primele mari romane de spionaj, Enigma Nisipurilor, are loc in lungii ani suspecti care au dus la Primul Razboi Mondial. Povestea creste in entuziasm pe masura ce doi tineri aflati intr-o vacanta cu barca descopera un complot german de a invada Anglia.
