English books: The Thirty-Nine Steps

Hey, guys! I've got good news. I finally got my "Hunger Games" collection! And in three days I've finished the first book, ASTONISHING. But well, this post is not for it, being for "The Thirty-Nine Steps" instead.

This book was written by John Buchan long ago, and I've read an adaptation for 1st grade of "Bachillerato" (16-17 years), although I could have read the original one... ;)

Well, to the point.

This book talks about Richard Hannay, a former intelligence officer in South Africa that has returned to England were he was born.

He's bored with his life there but one day it gets interesting. His neighbour tells him about a plot to murder a Greek political leader and to lead England to a world war.

Richard, some days after this announcement, finds his neighbour murdered and decides to scape and to prevent the murderer of the politician.

What will happen to him? Will he be able to prevent it or will he get killed? Will a new world war start? Find out this things by reading the book. If you're not English you can choose between the adaptation or the original one and if you're English or have a good level on the language... I recommend the original one, this one's so easy!
