Raymond Chandler facsimile editions

It 'was three-thirty in the afternoon, ten, in late July, with night cover and rain obscured the hills and valleys. I was wearing my Jim Jam-striped shirt with a black background T, Simpson shoes and pastel blue boxer puppies puppies on them. I was scruffy, tired and do not care who knew. I was all that the reader must be lazy. I want to read The Big Sleep for the first time. And before you know that half of the book was gone, and slide the night wasa miserable wet morning.

First, this is not a resource in itself - how could it be? How could offer something constructive for the purposes of this masterpiece is widely recognized? But even though I knew the story backwards, had heard that this had also seen a sound and an audio book and the film several times, had never read the original book. In fact, until now had only read the novels of Chandler, was the lady of the lake and Poodle Springs. But this first edition facsimile by the United KingdomHamish Hamilton / Pan was enough to buy everything. There are five in this series, published to celebrate the seventy years have been publishers Hamish Hamilton Chandler. This is The Big Sleep, Farewell, Lovely, The Lady of the Lake, her sister, and The Long Goodbye. All those who are direct copies of the original expenditure in the UK.

I'm fine book ahead and complete copies of the original version in the first Great Britain - as is all the time. Even the back coversurvived a list of other novels published in the same month of 1939, which no one has the test of time in the way of The Big Sleep. What can I say about the book as a new player today? Well, obviously the style reminds me of books by Robert Parker as well as many other novels I read Dick and private companies, but Chandler WAS first, was his plan, the style is short and the unique IP was him. I remember listening to the radio when in 1995The Beatles reworked old Lennon demo of the song all the new Beatles, Free as a Bird. In any case, this young man is seen as part of a road show and radio interviews Beatles song played with him. The guy said it sounded good, but they have copied the style of Oasis. The same with Chandler - Read the uninformed would say now that this guy is too similar to other writers, IP is a testament to the importance of Chandler and Marlowe and the nature of the benchmark that others follow.

One of the thingsI especially liked about these books is coinciding with the strange place and printed to zero, so it looks very old - but the quality is defined as very good or what is the category that used to be a very good condition.

And again the big sleep - are not able to give some important insights, but I have every right to say - read today as they always have. Pacey is not dated in the smallest and characterMarlowe is contemporary as tomorrow's headlines. I can not see without them Marlowe Bogart Cup read my thoughts, and is not a bad thing - it ugly, beautiful clothes against the private key eyes like a glove
