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。
Penguin Readers is a series of simplified novels, film novelizations and original titles that introduce students at all levels to the pleasures of reading in English. Originally designed for teaching English as a foreign language, the series' combination of high interest level and low reading age makes it suitable for both English-speaking teenagers with limited reading skills and students of English as a second language. Many titles in the series also provide access to the pre-20th century literature strands of the National Curriculum English Orders. "Penguin Readers" are graded at seven levels of difficulty, from "Easystarts" with a 200-word vocabulary, to Level 6 (Advanced) with a 3000-word vocabulary. In addition, titles fall into one of three sub-categories: "Contemporary", "Classics" or "Originals". At the end of each book there is a section of enjoyable exercises focusing on vocabulary building, comprehension, discussion and writing. Some titles in the series are available with an accompanying audio cassette, or in a book and cassette pack. Additionally, selected titles have free accompanying "Penguin Readers Factsheets" which provide stimulating exercise material for students, as well as suggestions for teachers on how to exploit the Readers in class.

评分 评分早一段时间,败了一套希胖子的影碟,拿到手后,第一选择是重温《39级台阶》,因为在我的观影生涯中,它算得上是我观赏惊悚电影的启蒙之作了。其实,印象中的电影细节已记不大清了,记忆中最为深刻的、也是最为让我绷紧神经的几个场景是:一、暗沉的夜色中,某楼道里,一个男人...

评分大概应该算是硬汉侦探,类似于阿婆的汤米和塔彭丝冒险故事。的确很有画面感,很好拍成电影,不过也有些人物的心理活动啥的,这些怎么用影像表达呢? 在这样的故事里直觉总是很重要,看到一个人就直觉他是好人,另一个就直觉是坏人,总觉得用这种方式让事情朝着正确的方...
