约翰•巴肯(John Buchan)
当过政治家,英国保守党国会议员,律师,出版商,也参过军。他以创作惊险故事而著称,其中以理查德•汉内系列的悬疑小说最为经典。
1915年出版的《三十九级台阶》是他最著名的小说,也是文学史经典的悬疑小说。美国推理作家协会评选的100部经典推理小说中,它排第22位。《卫报》评选的“死前必读的1000本小说”,它也位列其中。
约翰•巴肯是希区柯克最喜欢的作家之一。第一次读到《三十九级台阶》时,希区柯克说:“从我第一次读约翰•巴肯的《三十九级台阶》起,就觉得它一定能被拍成一部伟大的电影。”1935年,希区柯克将其改编成电影,由奥斯卡影帝罗伯特•多纳特主演。这部电影成了影史上最经典的悬疑片之一。
Book Description
The Wordsworth Classics covers a huge list of beloved works of literature in English and translations. This growing series is rigorously updated, with scholarly introductions and notes added to new titles.
John Buchan's most famous and dramatic novel presents spy-catcher Richard Hannay. Hannay is in London when he suddenly finds himself caught up in a dangerous situation and the main suspect for a murder committed in his own flat. He is forced to go on the run to his native Scotland. AUTHBIO: John Buchan, Baron Tweedsmuir, was a Scottish diplomat, barrister, journalist, historian, poet and novelist. He wrote adventure novels, short-story collections and biographies. His passion for the Scottish countryside is reflected in much of his writing. Buchan's adventure stories are high in romance and are peopled by a large cast of characters. Richard Hannay, Dickson McCunn and Sir Edward Leithen are three that reappear several times. Alfred Hitchcock adapted his most famous book The Thirty-Nine Steps for screen.
When Richard Hannay returns from a long stay in Africa, he becomes caught up in a sensational plot to precipitate a pan-European war. After a corpse is found in his flat, Hannay flees the attentions of both the conspirators and the law, and a manhunt ensues.

文Shirleysays 如果你对约翰.巴肯这位作家不太熟悉的话,那么我们就得提一句希区柯克的满意之作《39级台阶》,这样的话,好像就不难引起你的注意了。影片改编自巴肯的同名小说,而且希区柯克本也毫不讳忌地说约翰.巴肯是他本人最喜欢的作家之一。从1935年希区柯克拍摄本片的...
评分 评分《第三十九级台阶》,读过这本小说的人,肯定要比看过这部电影的人要少的多。苏格兰作家 John Buchan 的这本小说以一战爆发之前为背景,说的是一个在非洲生活多年的英国人汉内被意外卷入间谍案,挺身而出与敌人周旋的故事。1915年出版之后马上引起轰动,之后被四次拍成电影或...
评分电影是很小的时候看的,印象最深刻的就是最后在大钟表针上的搏斗,看了小说才知道那都是导演改编的。这个版本的翻译整体还可以,但是有些明显的错误,比如出现了“电动自行车”和“导弹”,这就有点穿越了,对照英文版才发现分明是摩托车和鱼雷。文中还有几处错别字,应该是编...
评分很惭愧自己对阿尔弗雷德•希区柯克的认识几乎为零,除了知道他是世界上非常著名的悬疑大师以外,却从未看过他的任何一部片子(准备有空恶补)。 也因此,在看完有希区柯克改编成电影,英国作家约翰•巴肯的重要作品之一《39级台阶》这本书后好久,都不知该如何下笔去加以...

评分一口气读完,好过瘾!
评分虽然给三星是因为在各种剧集充斥的今天,这本小说情节实在有点过于小儿科,但是相信在当时是很新颖的一种题材,文学史上还是有举足轻重的意义。
评分超级好看的
