    The story takes place in the fictional city of Western City circa 1920. It begins with a man named Billy who is attacked by a mob of ex-servicemen outside a theater after watching a German film. Billy stumbles into a church to escape the mob and is visited by Carpenter, that is Jesus, who walks out of the stained glass window of the church. Carpenter is shocked and appalled by his observations of greed, selfishness, lust, sorrow, and the ultimate division between rich and poor.  The story then roughly follows the ministry of Jesus.

    Why does a woman demand that a surgeon amputate part of her finger?  
    Jacques Futrelle created a sleuth named Professor Augustus S.F.X. Van Dusen, known as The Thinking Machine. He’s American, and has many similarities with Sherlock Holmes. For example, he isn’t a policeman, but he works with them on occasion, and he handily summarizes his deductions once the case is solved.  
    Jacques Futrelle wrote over 40 short stories featuring The Thinking Machine. He heroically died aboard the Titanic, after forcing his wife into a lifeboat.

    In this volume 32 short stories, as life itself writes them. They take the reader from Germany to Switzerland, to Cameroon - even as far away as India and even Tibet. Some cheerful, some sad, but all entertaining and thought-provoking. The author endeavours to use polished, elevated language and is far removed from today's unfortunately often used 'telegram style'.
