Where can I read The Other Man in full?

The complete text of The Other Man is here, taken from Project Gutenberg eBook #64907 and divided into 948 sections.

This page carries the whole of The Other Man by Edgar Wallace, not an abridgement or a summary. The text comes from Project Gutenberg eBook #64907, with the Project Gutenberg header, footer and licence removed so that only the work itself remains. It runs to 4740 sentences across 34 chapters. Each chapter stores a record of which sentences cover which part of the work, so nothing is quietly dropped between the source edition and the page you read.

How is The Other Man divided for reading?

The Other Man is presented in 34 chapters, each split into sections of 5 sentences for steady reading.

Rather than presenting The Other Man as unbroken pages, the text is grouped into 948 sections of 5 sentences each. A section is short enough to hold in mind at once, which suits a reader working in a second language or returning to a long work in short sittings. The sections are gathered into 34 chapters.

Can I hear The Other Man read aloud?

Yes. Every sentence and every individual word of The Other Man can be played aloud, and each word shows its dictionary entry.

Every sentence of The Other Man can be played aloud, and so can any single word within it. Tapping a word plays it on its own and opens its dictionary entry, with the pronunciation shown in IPA alongside the part of speech and meaning. The reading voice uses United States English. This matters most for a work of this period, where a reader meets vocabulary and turns of phrase that are no longer in daily use and cannot be guessed reliably from spelling alone.
