Sobre este artículo
Alfred A. Knopf, 1939. CHANDLER, Raymond. THE BIG SLEEP. NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 1939. Small 8vo., brown cloth in dust jacket. First Edition. Basis for the 1946 movie, starring Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart as Philip Marlowe. The movie script, based on one of Chandler's premier mystery novels, was co-authored by William Faulkner. Bogart married Bacall in 1945 (his fourth wife). Very Good; some professional archival repairs (replacing small chips or closing tears) d/j. Enclosed in a custom-designed, leather and cloth clam-shell box, with the spine stamped in gilt and silver and the front cover bearing a color reproduction of the dust jacket with the title in raised leather lettering. An attractive copy!
Sinopsis
The Big Sleep is a crime novel by Raymond Chandler, the first in his acclaimed series about hardboiled detective Philip Marlowe. The work has been adapted twice into film, once in 1946 starring Humphry Bogart and Lauren Bacall, and again in 1978 starring Robert Mitchum. The story is noted for its complexity and is heavily influenced by classic Greek tragedy, with many characters double-crossing each other and many secrets being exposed throughout the narrative. -
