Hard boiled detective stories from the master of the genre.Samuel Dashiell Hammett (1894-1961) is recognized as the first master of hard-boiled detective fiction. His lean writing style, cynical characters and complex plots brought a new energy to pulp magazines then went on to define the genre in movies, radio and television where the private eye series became an entertainment staple.Hammett wrote more than 80 short stories and five novels: "Red Harvest" (1929), "The Dain Curse" (1929), "The Maltese Falcon" (1930), "The Glass Key" (1931) and "The Thin Man" (1934). He created tough guys Sam Spade and the Continental Op as well as debonaire sleuths Nick and Nora Charles. He wrote a comic strip ("Secret Agent X-9"), an original radio series ("The Fat Man") and worked on numerous scripts, often simply to polish dialogue. Hammett's crisp, colorful language brought gangster slang into everyday speech. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

My beef is with the publication in general. It is one of the lazy works where it seems like as if different sources just got scanned and than put in an eformat without proof reading the text itself. Some words don't make sense at all and very often it is clear that a letter was supposed to be a lover case L but because of the bad printing of the original the scan made a lower case I out of it.
Still enjoyable and I guess for a cheap Barns & Noble nook book I shouldn't complain too much. ( )
