Raymond Chandler, página 3 de 10

Todos los relatos de Raymond Chandler en un solo volumen.Las veintiséis narraciones que componen este volumen dan cuenta de los grandes personajes que surgieron de la pluma de Raymond Chandler, a veces fagocitados por la sombra del propio Marlowe, pues algunos editores decidieron cambiar indebidamente el nombre de los heroes por el del famoso detective privado.Para esta edicion, hemos recuperado las identidades originales que salieron de la mente de autor, ofreciendo de este modo una panoramica total de su amplio espectro creativo. Por esa misma razon, el libro incorpora sus incursiones en otros subgeneros como el relato fantastico, el literario y la novela gotica. Se suman asi veintiseis relatos que son veintiseis puertas de entrada perfectas para un universo donde el misterio y la crudeza, pero tambien el genio y la agudeza, pasean de la mano.Reseña:Chandler invento una nueva forma de hablar sobre Estados Unidos, y desde entonces ha logrado transformar nuestra mirada.Paul Auster

La première fois que Marlowe vit Terry Lennox, visage jeune et cheveux blancs, il était fin soûl dans une Rolls Royce Silver Wraith. La fille à ses côtés, chevelure d'un magnifique blond vénitien, sourire vague aux lèvres, portait sur les épaules un vison si prestigieux que, près de lui, la Rolls ne semblait plus qu'un tacot de série. Cette amitié spontanée de Marlowe pour cet ancien commando au charisme énigmatique amène le privé à passer des frontières que son métier rendait a priori infranchissables. Terry Lennox n'a pas fini de le surprendre. S'il est innocent des crimes dont on l'accuse, il est aussi le centre d'un jeu mortel où la tragédie triomphe sans égale.
