Sobre este artículo
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1934. First Edition of the author’s first novel; a Haycraft-Queen cornerstone. Very minor offsetting (browning) on the endpapers, closed tear in the back panel, else fine. The cloth is exceptionally bright; in a very good dust jacket with some browning and tiny chips. Few novels have been as well-served by a cinema adaptation as this book was by the 1946 film.
Sinopsis
The Postman Always Rings Twice , the first novel written by James M. Cain, was published in 1934 by Alfred A. Knopf. This book tells a dramatic story of murder and passion. Frank and Cora become lovers and conspire to murder Cora's husband, take over his diner, and live happily ever after. Things go wrong, and the novel is narrated by Frank from his prison cell on death row. The writing style epitomizes and in many ways pioneered hard-boiled crime drama, despite the author's distaste for the term. This book caused a sensation upon publication due to both the violence and sexual content.
