Childers Erskine Title : The Riddle of the Sands
Author: Childers Erskine
Publisher: Random House Uk Ltd

A must-read for espionage junkies and 'chaps in scraps' fans.
When Carruthers receives a letter from his friend Davies suggesting a Baltic sailing trip the vision of a manned yacht, A1 scenery and excellent duck shooting quickly works its charm. Much to Carruther's disgust, the reality couldn't be more different. If the Dulcibella is distressingly underwhelming, Davies' ambition for their sailing trip is anything but. There has been suspicious German activity along the coast. The Medusa, manned by the sinister Dollman, has already tried to destroy him. Why should anyone want to kill Davies? What are the Germans trying to hide? Nothing less than a plot to invade Britain. And only these two courageous Englishmen can stop them.

The Riddle of the Sands is Erskine Childers only novel. Published in 1903 it is considered the first modern spy novel.

Childers Erskine Title : L'enigma delle sabbie
Author: Childers Erskine
Publisher: Lantana Editore

A bordo del Dulcibella, Davies e Carruthers navigano a vela tra le isole Frisone, apparentemente a caccia di anatre, in una crociera che nasconde in realtà molti misteri e che si rivela più rischiosa del previsto. Tra nebbie, maree e banchi di sabbia che mettono a dura prova la piccola imbarcazione, i due amici si convincono con il passare dei giorni di essere involontariamente entrati in un ingranaggio più grande di loro. Per riuscire a sventare il piano che mette a repentaglio la sicurezza dell'Inghilterra sono disposti ad affrontare qualsiasi pericolo, anche a costo della vita.

Childers Erskine Title : L'enigma delle sabbie
Author: Childers Erskine
Publisher: Nuova Editrice Berti

Mare del Nord, 1902: due giovani inglesi, scoprono l'esistenza di un complotto tedesco per invadere l'Inghilterra via mare. Soli a bordo di un minuscolo yacht, iniziano così una lotta contro il tempo per impedire l'attacco straniero. Ricco di dettagli realistici e basato sull'esperienza diretta di Childers, questo romanzo ha effettivamente contribuito a cambiare la strategia militare inglese in vista della Prima Guerra Mondiale, spostando l'attenzione sul mare del Nord per controbattere le mire espansionistiche tedesche. Erskine Childers è a buon diritto considerato il padre del genere letterario della spy-story. Uscito nel 1903, 'L'enigma delle sabbie' riscuote da subito un enorme successo, testimoniato dalle numerose ristampe che si sono susseguite fino all'adattamento per il cinema nel 1979. Ian Fleming, John le Carré e molti altri ammetteranno di avervi trovato preziosa ispirazione.

Author: Childers Erskine
Publisher: ATLANTIC BOOKS

'The first real thriller.'  ?Ken Follett
 
While on a duck-hunting holiday sailing in the Frisian Isles, Carruthers and his friend Davies become suspicious of German naval activity off the North Sea Coast. The pair decide to investigate, are soon embroiled in a world of suspense and intrigue, and set about foiling nothing less than a plot to invade England. Initially published in 1903, this thriller proved a prescient vision of the Anglo-German conflict that was to culminate in World War I. This adventure is now regarded as the first?and one of the best?spy novels ever written, inspiring such later masters of the genre as John Buchan, Ian Fleming, and John le Carré.

Publisher: Penguin Classics

'A triller anticipating Frederick Forsyth and Len Deighton...never loses its pace.' -Independent on Sunday (U.K.)

Loosely based on the author's own experiences, The Riddle of the Sands takes readers back to the early days of the twentieth century, when Britain shared a tense rivalry with the Kaiser's Germany. Tempted by the idea of duck shooting, Carruthers is lured by his friend Davies into a yachting expedition in the Baltic, only to discover that the itinerary involves more than killing fowl. Soon they're on a wild journey of intrigue, meeting danger at every turn, and ultimately unraveling Germany's secret plans to invade England. Tautly written and full of unexpected twists, this is a timeless work of espionage fiction.

Childers Erskine Title : The Riddle of the Sands
Author: Childers Erskine
Publisher: Modern Library

While on a sailing trip in the Baltic Sea, two young adventurers-turned-spies uncover a secret German plot to invade England. Written by Childers—who served in the Royal Navy during World War I—as a wake-up call to the British government to attend to its North Sea defenses, The Riddle of the Sands accomplished that task and has been considered a classic of espionage literature ever since, praised as much for its nautical action as for its suspenseful spycraft.
