Golden Age Christmas Mysteries

Otto Penzler
Englisch | Taschenbuch

Christmas has served as a fertile background for mystery fiction for a long time, perhaps because it has the appearance of a time of peace and love while being so deeply at odds with violence, crime and even murder. Many of the stories in this anthology have been written by some of the greatest Golden Age authors, undoubtedly inspired by the juxtaposition of the disparate elements of love and hate. The range of subjects and styles may be surprising, ranging from truly chilling to heart-warming to hilarious to puzzling. This is no accident, since genuinely talented authors have their own voices and, like snowflakes, no two are alike. Golden Age Christmas Mysteries is the perfect gift for the season, to be read on a cold, snowy night, in a comfortable chair near a blazing fire.

Il grande libro dei racconti di Sherlock Holmes
Il grande libro dei racconti di Sherlock Holmes
Otto Penzler
Il più grande investigatore di tutti i tempi vide la luce dalla penna di Sir Arthur Conan Doyle nel 1887 ed è stato protagonista di quattro romanzi e oltre 50 racconti, che non sono bastati a narrarne tutte le vicende. Quella lacuna viene colmata da altri scrittori tutti di grande calibro che si sono cimentati con il personaggio da cui è nata la letteratura poliziesca. Da Neil Gaiman a Stephen King, passando per Anne Perry, Antony Burgess e molti altri, sono in tanti ad aver voluto regalare nuove vite all'investigatore di Baker Street. I loro racconti sono riuniti in questo volume.
