Sobre este artículo
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1937. Advance Copy. Hardcover. Good. Advance Reading Copy, preceding the first American edition. 280 pp. Publisher's plain wraps: "Special Advance Copy for private and confidential use only / not to be sold or offered to the public." Good with masking tape to some corners of wraps, creased concave spine, bumped corners. Wraps unevenly toned and offset (it looks like some sort of makeshift spine label was made at one time, perhaps for a reference copy?), back cover a little stained. The basis of the 1943 film; titled Uncommon Danger in the UK.
Sinopsis
Eric Ambler is often said to have invented the modern suspense novel. Beginning in 1937, he wrote a series of novels that were touted for their realism, in which he introduced ordinary protagonists who are thrust into political intrigue they are ill prepared to deal with. In the process he paved the way for such writers as John Le Carre, Len Deighton, and Robert Ludlum. He was awarded four Gold Daggers and a Diamond Dagger from The Crime Writers Association, named a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers Association, and was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth. In addition to his novels, Ambler wrote a number of screenplays, including Rebecca , which he collaborated on with his wife, Joan Harrison. Eric Ambler died in 1998.
