Автор: Артур Конан Дойл
Год издания:
«Человек с рассеченной губой» – один из самых захватывающих рассказов Артура Конан Дойла из цикла о Шерлоке Холмсе (1892 год). Как замечает сам Шерлок Холмс, в его практике не было случая, который на первый взгляд казался бы таким простым и был бы в действительности таким трудным.
Текст незначительно сокращен и адаптирован, сопровождается комментариями, разными видами упражнений и кратким словарем.
Предназначается для продолжающих изучать английский язык (уровень 2 – Pre-Intermediate).

Outside, the night is cold and wet. Inside, the White family sits and waits. Where is their visitor?
There is a knock at the door. A man is standing outside in the dark. Their visitor has arrived.
The visitor waits. He has been in India for many years. What has he got? He has brought the hand of a small, dead animal – a monkey's paw.
Outside, in the dark, the visitor smiles and waits for the door to open.
