The Thirty-Nine Steps (Collins Classics)
HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics. 'I snapped the switch, but there was nobody there. Then I saw something in the far corner which made me drop my cigar and fall into a cold sweat.' When Richard Hannay is warned of an assassination plot that has the potential to take Britain into a war, and then a few days later discovers the murdered body of the American that warned him in his flat, he becomes a prime suspect. He flees to the moors of Scotland and a spirited chase begins as he is pursued by the police and the German spies involved with stealing British plans. Buchan's tale unfolds into one of the seminal and most influential 'chase' books, mimicked by many, yet unrivalled in the tension and mystery created by his writing. Buchan reveres Hannay as an ordinary man who puts his country's good before his own and the classic themes of the novel influenced many films and subsequent 'man-on-the-run' novels.

Oxford Bookworms Library 4 Thirty-Nine Steps
'I turned on the light, but there was nobody there. Then I saw something in the corner that made my blood turn cold. Scudder was lying on his back. There was a long knife through his heart, pinning him to the floor.' Soon Richard Hannay is running for his life across the hills of Scotland. The police are chasing him for a murder he did not do, and another, more dangerous enemy is chasing him as well - the mysterious 'Black Stone'. Who are these people? And why do they want Hannay dead?
Harminckilenc lépcső
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.
