That kind of reputation might be good business. " The Maltese Falcon by Dashiel Hammett Sam Spade is what most of the private detectives I worked with would like to have been and in their cockier moments thought they approached. Dashiell Hammett I listened to a full cast reading of the book. Very good and it was only 3 hours & 15 minutes long. Omläsning. Lever inte alls upp till hur jag minns den. Känns lite dammig och mossig nu när jag läst Raymond Chandler ganska nära inpå. Det är dock fortfarande en bra och välberättad historia. Med karaktärer som lever och det är bra mycket bättre än 95% av modern kriminal litteratur. Men jag känner mig ändå lite besviken...

In short, "The Maltese Falcon" is the best one, outside the . . . polite classes, in Lord knows when. If the locution "hard-boiled" had not already been coined it would be necessary to coin it now to describe the characters . . . .

HTML:A coolly glittering gem of detective fiction that has haunted three generations of readers, from one of the greatest mystery writers of all time. A treasure worth killing for. Sam Spade, a slightly shopworn private eye with his own solitary code of ethics. A perfumed grafter named Joel Cairo, a fat man name Gutman, and Brigid O'Shaughnessy, a beautiful and treacherous woman whose loyalties shift at the drop of a dime. These are the ingredients of Dashiel Hammett's iconic, influential, and beloved The Maltese Falcon.. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Poor Effie has no idea about the world she lives on the fringes of. Sam Spade's foggy Noir San Francisco is steeped with corruption, vendetta and greed. You wouldn't want to live there, but it's not a bad place to visit for a while.
Had the writing been as strong as the story, this would have scored 5 out of 5. However, it's technical flaws cannot entirely br ignored. ( )
