Graham, un discreto ingeniero y experto en armas acaba de mantener conversaciones de alto nivel con el gobierno turco. Al regresar a su hotel, descubre que alguien quiere matarlo. Le han disparado al entrar en la habitación y decide escapar de la ciudad en un vapor. Un viaje lleno de peligros en el que conocerá a una hechizante bailarina francesa, un desastrado hombre de negocios, un misterioso médico alemán, un hombre diminuto y brutal que viste un arrugado traje… Graham debe sospechar de todos, esconderse en ese barco del que no puede escapar y sobrevivir a una travesía de pesadilla.
Primarily set on a ship in the Mediterranean with a small number of passengers, Journey into Fear is a closed-world narrative. While building the requisite tension and suspense, Ambler also keeps the political dimension in the foreground. Finding himself in the psychological equivalent of a death cell, Graham [the protagonist] is forced to reassess his outlook on life and experiences enlightenment. The boat journey becomes a journey of self-discovery, with fear being the necessary stimulus. Graham finds within himself the strength to resist what seems inevitable – his murder. In this way, he personifies Britain’s need to take on the Nazi threat. Pertenece a las series editorialesContenido enTiene la adaptaciónAparece abreviada enListas de sobresalientes
Returning to his hotel room after a late-night flirtation with a cabaret dancer at an Istanbul b ite, Graham is surprised by an intruder with a gun. What follows is a nightmare of intrigue for the English armaments engineer as he makes his way home aboard an Italian freighter. Among the passengers are a couple of Nazi assassins intent on preventing his returning to England with plans for a Turkish defense system, the seductive cabaret dancer and her manager husband, and a number of surprising allies. Thrilling, intense, and masterfully plotted, Journey Into Fear is a classic suspense tale from one of the founders of the genre. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
