Book Synopsis The Schirmer Inheritance by : Eric Ambler
Download or read book The Schirmer Inheritance written by Eric Ambler and published by Vintage Crime/Black Lizard. This book was released on 2011-10-19 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It wasn’t anyone’s idea of a glamorous first assignment at a white show law firm. George Cary, former WWII bomber pilot and newly minted lawyer, was given the ignoble task of going through the tons of files on the Schneider Johnson case, just to make sure nothing had been overlooked. But, as luck would have it, George did discover something among the false claims and dead-end leads that made this into more than just another missing-heir-to-a vast-fortune case. And what he found would connect a deserter from Napoloeon’s defeated army to a guerrilla fighter in post-war Greece, and lead Cary himself into a dangerous situation where his own survival will depend more on what he learned in the army than anything he learned in law school.
Book Synopsis Eric Ambler’s Novels by : Robert Lance Snyder
Download or read book Eric Ambler’s Novels written by Robert Lance Snyder and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-12-30 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eric Ambler's first six novels released between 1936 and 1940 quickly established his reputation as a master craftsman of intrigue and espionage narratives. Far less often discussed are the twelve Cold War novels he published, after an eleven-year hiatus as a screenwriter, between 1951 and 1981. This study argues that his entire corpus manifests late modernism's impulse toward a broadly social, political, and cultural critique of the times. Ambler's fiction from the mid-1950s onward is also remarkable for its ludic turn as he assesses the self-deceptions of an increasingly bureaucratized and media-focused world blind to its own follies. In these later works can be seen elements of what has come to be known as postmodernism, though in his commitment to chronicling the juggernaut of modernity he remains a uniquely independent witness of what is now being called the long twentieth century.

Download or read book The Spy Story written by John G. Cawelti and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1987-05 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why has the spy story become such a popular form of entertainment in our time? In this fascinating account of the genre's evolution, John G. Cawelti and Bruce A. Rosenberg explore the social, political, and artistic sources of the spy story's wide appeal. They show how, in a time of bewildering political and corporate organization, the spy story has become increasingly relevant, the secret agent hero expressing the feelings of divided and ambiguous loyalties with which many individuals face the modern world. In addition to a general history of the genre, Cawelti and Rosenberg present in-depth analyses of the work of certain writers who have given the spy story its shape, among them John Buchan, Eric Ambler, Graham Greene, Ian Fleming, and John le Carré. The Spy Story also includes an extensive appendix, featuring a literary and historical bibliography of espionage and clandestinity, a list of the best spy novels and films, a catalog of major spy writers and their heroes, and a selection of novels on espionage themes written by major twentieth-century authors and public figures. Written in a lively style that reflects the authors' enthusiasm for this intriguing form, The Spy Story will be read with pleasure by devotees of the genre as well as students of popular culture.

Download or read book Eric Ambler written by Peter Elfed Lewis and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1990 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Eric Ambler is widely regarded as one of the most important thriller writers of the twentieth century. In the 1930s he set out to give respectability to a genre that he rightly recognized to be in desperate need from its status as pulp fiction. With six novels published between 1936 and 1940, Ambler laid the foundations for the postwar generation of writers who have raised the spy novel to a form of literature. Like Graham Greene, Ambler has used thriller ingredients to create a series of novels that investigates many aspects of modern life, from totalitarian political regimes to white-collar crime." "This book by Edgar Allan Poe Award-winning author Peter Lewis is the first full-length study of Amber's life and work. In it, we get to the heart of the grand master of intrigue through insightful discussions of such popular novels as Epitaph for a Spy, A Coffin for Dimitrios, The Light of Day (on which the well-known film Topkapi is based), and The Siege of the Villa Lipp among many others." "Through a book-by-book explication of Amber's major themes and methods we come to see how his work has changed while remaining always topical. As this book cogently argues, no novelist has done more to dissolve the boundaries that have separated "popular" from "serious" fiction."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
