Sobre este artículo
New York: Random House, 1983. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Fine. 8vo - over 7. Type: Hardback First Edition. Hardcover Book in Very Good Condition with a Fine Dust Jacket. Dashiell Hammett's great original contribution to American Literature was the creation of the hard-boiled detective-- the Continental OP and Sam Spade. Diane Johnson traces the origins of these characters in Hammett's own experience as a Pinkerton agent in the West and shows how his vision of the world was shaped by this lonely, hard and often amoral existence. This is the definitive biography of this most important 20th century American writer. Bound in black half cloth with bold, bright and sharp titles, orange paper-wrapped boards, very clean, sunned along top edge. Edges faintly rubbed. Solid, tight, square. Internals clean and free from any markings. Jacket unclipped, as new. 344 pages with Notes and Index. 9.5 x 6.5 inches. Random House, New York, 1983.
