English writer Arthur Conan Doyle is an unrivaled master of the detective and historical adventure genres. Many characters created by his pen have achieved truly extraordinary fame: the brilliant detective Sherlock Holmes and his faithful companion Dr. Watson, the restless Brigadier Gerard, and the eccentric Professor Challenger. Among Conan Doyle's celebrated heroes, the English knight Sir Nigel Loring ranks high, meeting readers in the historical novels "Sir Nigel" and "The White Company," which recount the events of the 14th century and the Hundred Years' War between England and France, an era of bloody battles, noble knights, and beautiful women. The novel "The Exiles," also included in this edition, is considered a benchmark of adventure literature, on par with the best works of Alexandre Dumas, Walter Scott, and Fenimore Cooper. The novel is set during the reign of Louis XIV. The first part is devoted to palace intrigues, centered on a secret mission from the king, who dreams of marrying the most intelligent woman in France, Madame de Maintenon. The second part recounts incredible adventures in the wilds of mysterious America, where the protagonists, having fulfilled the king's will, are forced to flee from the punishing hand of the law.

The book features illustrations by Arthur Tweedle, Newell Convers Wyeth, and Ture de Thulstrup.
