John Buchan

John Buchan világhírű regénye először kerül magyar nyelven az olvasóközönség elé. Kiadását indokolja töretlen népszerűsége, az első megjelenés óta eladott több mint százezer példány, kategóriateremtő szerepe, élő karakterei, remek cselekményfűzése. Utolsó angol nyelvű kiadása 2015-ben jelent meg. A Harminckilenc lépcső az öt részes Richard Hannay regényciklus leghíresebb darabja, és megalapozta John Buchan hírnevét, mint korának legjobb thriller írója. A feszült, gyorsan pörgő, egyes szám első személyben elmesélt történet egy életveszélyes kaland meglepően érdekfeszítő leírása, amit a tájak és időjárás ügyes és eleven leírása jellemez. Tömörség, tisztaság, pontos megfigyelés és fanyar humor fémjelzi. A főhős, Richard Hannay sok tekintetben az átlagembert testesíti meg, aki ismeri képességeinek határát, ekként olyan ember, akivel az olvasó szívesen azonosul. John Buchan Harminckilenc lépcsője félelmetes kémtörténet. Gyors ritmusú, élő karakterekkel tűzdelt, feszült atmoszférájú, jól megírt könyv, klasszikus darabja a thriller műfajnak. Igen nagyra értékelem a regény üdítő tömörségét: viszonylag rövid és egy szuszra elolvasható. 1934-ben Alfred Hitchcock megvette a megfilmesítés jogát John Buchantől, aki akkor már ismert író volt. A filmváltozat A 39 lépcső címmel futott, és valószínűleg a filmtörténet első menekülő főhős típusú filmje volt, amikor 1935-ben a mozikba került. Ezzel egy csapásra Amerika-szerte híres rendezővé tette Alfred Hitchcockot. Maga a regény az I. Világháború előtti Nagy-Britanniában játszódik, ahol a főhős, Richard Hannay egy véletlen folytán csöppen bele a nagyhatalmi kémjátszmába. És amikor lakótársát megölik, menekülnie kell, hogy életét megvédje és a kémek titkát leleplezze.
