Produktbeschreibungen

From Library Journal

Chandler is not only the best writer of hardboiled PI stories, he's one of the 20th century's top scribes, period. His full canon of novels and short stories is reprinted in trade paper featuring uniform covers in Black Lizard's signature style. A handsome set for a reasonable price.

Pressestimmen

"Raymond Chandler is a master." --The New York Times

“[Chandler] wrote as if pain hurt and life mattered.” --The New Yorker

“Chandler seems to have created the culminating American hero: wised up, hopeful, thoughtful, adventurous, sentimental, cynical and rebellious.” --Robert B. Parker, The New York Times Book Review

“Philip Marlowe remains the quintessential urban private eye.” --Los Angeles Times

“Nobody can write like Chandler on his home turf, not even Faulkner. . . . An original. . . . A great artist.” —The Boston Book Review

“Raymond Chandler was one of the finest prose writers of the twentieth century. . . . Age does not wither Chandler’s prose. . . . He wrote like an angel.” --Literary Review

“[T]he prose rises to heights of unselfconscious eloquence, and we realize with a jolt of excitement that we are in the presence of not a mere action tale teller, but a stylist, a writer with a vision.” --Joyce Carol Oates, The New York Review of Books

“Chandler wrote like a slumming angel and invested the sun-blinded streets of Los Angeles with a romantic presence.” —Ross Macdonald

“Raymond Chandler is a star of the first magnitude.” --Erle Stanley Gardner

“Raymond Chandler invented a new way of talking about America, and America has never looked the same to us since.” --Paul Auster

5.0 von 5 Sternen "He looked as nervous as a brick wall.", 22. Dezember 2008
Von "Post Scriptum" (Genève) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Described by Evelyn Waugh in the late 1940s as "the greatest living American novelist," Raymond Chandler won the admiration of millions of fans, in addition to the more astute praise of writers such as T.S. Eliot and E. Wilson for his detective novels. He was central to the birth of what became known as film noir - for both the movies he wrote in Hollywood and those that were made from his books. His seven Philip Marlowe novels have been published in about thirty languages and more than a dozen films stand as testament to Chandler's influence.

"Farewell My Lovely" begins with Marlowe being hired by a huge ex-con called `Moose' Malloy who has just come out of prison. Malloy wants the detective to find his old showgirl sweetheart, Velma, and not having had a job for weeks, Marlowe accepts. He starts off by trying to find out who ran the club where Velma used to perform. However, the owner has died and his alcoholic widow says she does not remember anyone called Velma. Back in his office, Marlowe is offered another job. A rich fop named Marriott needs his protection for a trip out of town because he wants to buy back his girlfriend's stolen jewelry. At the remote rendezvous place Marlowe is knocked unconscious, Marriott is killed and the money, of course is stolen. Having already been paid, Marlowe decides to go ahead and solve the crimes. The plot thickens and the dénouement is a surprise that will twirl your turban.

The novel shows how far away from the restrictions of Black Mask Chandler's fiction was moving. Though he was still using the framework of his old pulp stories, his hero, Marlowe, is even further from being a stock pulp hero than he was in "The Big Sleep." This novel is an improvement because the focus of the story is clearer. In TBS Chandler's indignation is generalized in a dislike for the rich, but here he concentrates on Bay City in which the extent of corruption in California life is more vividly demonstrated. The town is based on Santa Monica, where Chandler lived for a time and became a symbol of hypocrisy: he hated the pretense of uprightness in a place virtually owned by a few people with money. "Law is where you buy it," says Marlowe. This is the moral and legal climate of the novel, and Chandler has his dumb cop Hemingway, so nicknamed by Marlowe because "he keeps saying the same thing over and over again until you begin to believe it must be good."

The book was published as hardcover in May 1940 and despite an unusually large ad budget from Knopf, it was not reviewed and was initially a flop, selling only 11,000 copies. Considering this scarcity, the Bibliomaniac Brigade will note with satisfaction that a first edition with dust jacket in fine condition will go for some US$ 5,000 while "The Big Sleep" in similar condition can easily reach US$ 20,000.

The first film was released in 1944 and was quite revolutionary in that it was the one of the first films noirs of the mid-forties, a minor masterpiece of expressionist film making. It was directed by Edward Dmytryk and starred Dick Powell (Marlowe), Claire Trevor, Anne Shirley and Mike Mazurki. In 1975 Dick Richards directed Robert Mitchum and Charlotte Rampling in a pretty sharp remake with a plot slightly rewritten and an excellent performance from a rather over-age star.

5.0 von 5 Sternen The magic of Marlowe, 14. Juli 2000
In "Farewell, My Lovely," Raymond Chandler's second Philip Marlowe novel, Marlowe reluctantly agrees to help a careworn police detective search for a nightclub girl named Velma, a former girlfriend of an ogreish ex-convict named Moose Malloy who is wanted for murder. Marlowe's first lead is the nightclub owner's widow, whom he plies with liquor, only to find out that Velma's whereabouts are being kept a guarded secret. Then, in what initially seems like an unrelated subplot, Marlowe is hired by a man who wants "backup" while he delivers money to some jewel thieves. The man ends up murdered, and Marlowe meets a mysterious girl at the scene of the crime. To think there's no connection between this event and Velma's disappearance would be to underestimate Chandler's genius at plot construction.

Chandler cleverly plants false leads to twist the already unpredictable plot and subtle clues that make sense at the end. His colorful characters are masters of deceit; the reader imagines that these people must have great poker faces. They know a lot more than what they're telling Marlowe, and it's exciting to know that Marlowe will eventually be able to guess what they're leaving out. Like J.R.R. Tolkien's Gandalf, Marlowe is one of literature's greatest magicians; the fun of reading the book is waiting for him to pull the rabbit out of the hat at the end.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Almost Chandler's best book., 24. Juli 1998
Von Ryan Harvey "Wolf Shadow" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
(REAL NAME)   
Only THE LONG GOODBYE merits higher place in the shining canon of prose-poet Raymond Chandler. This violent, shabby, hilarious, and ultimately very moving novel rockets P.I. Phillips Marlowe through the darkest, seamiest side of Chandler's textured world Los Angeles. In no other novel does Chandler's razor sharp and witty prose slice so sharply, and his sense of tragic irony ("It isn't funny that a man should die, but it is funny that a man should die for so little") reaches its zenith. Hard to put down, impossible to forget.
