Hard Cover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. First edition. Minor wear to corners, remainder mark on top edge. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 1999 Hard Cover. 415 pp. A collection of nineteen stories of revenge, betrayal, and treachery from the International Association of Crime Writers and some of the world's most well-known authors. There are assassins and seducers, stolen plans, and intricate games of cat and mouse. The universal rule, however, is that no one gets to write their memoirs. 'A memorable collection of 16 stories, edited with an insightful introduction by the accomplished Smith, who also recently won the Hammett Prize from the International Association of Crime Writers for his novel Rose. The group of distinguished, well-published, and, in most cases, well-known authors represented here includes the likes of Mark Twain, Ambrose Bierce, and Maupassant, going on to John D. MacDonald, John Jakes, John Lutz, Jean-Hugues Oppel, and Michael Collins. Just as varied as the talent, of course, are the adventures and their settings: the Adirondacks during the Reagan-period Cold War years; Los Angeles and the Tommy Dorsey swing era on the eve of the attack on Pearl Harbor; or Prussian-occupied Colombes, France, at the time of WWI, where Maupassant takes us fishing with two temporarily noncombatant foot soldiers. Mark Twain writes of a galloping case of what Smith describes as 'spy fever' during the Civil War, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary crime sleuths, Holmes and Watson, lend their prodigious powers of detection to solving the puzzle of missing intelligence plans that in the wrong hands could threaten the British Admiralty. A timeless potpourri and hours of great reading in digestible portions for professional and amateur spy-meisters alike.' - Kirkus Reviews.

The volume is otherwise in fine condition. "Nine 'cool" stories about haunted houses and ghosts for boys and girls." "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to my haunted houseful. Visitors are always welcome. This book is an effort to provide reading for young people who are at the awkward age. Children who are too lazy to walk but still too young to drive. Here are nine stories carefully compiled to furnish reading material in Life's great waiting room where we while away the hours until our driver's license is issued. I suppose you are wondering why, when the fashion is to put an "Adults Only" sign on books and movies, I am editing a book for younger people. The answer is quite simple. I have previously edited two books of mystery and suspense stories for the older set and the poor dears were frightened silly. In fact, one senior citizen reportedly went completely ape. I do not pretend to know what that absurd expression means but I get the idea and I don't intend to waste a volume of perfectly exquisite ghost stories on people such as that. They just don't have the stomach for it. (Obviously I do.) Of course there may be a few adult delinquents who hold up under experiences with the supernatural, but, let's face it: most of your elders are just plain chicken. It may seem contradictory, but another reason I am not addressing this book to adults is (and, believe me, this hurts) they insist they don't believe in ghosts. It's shocking, really. After all, these are the people who write our country's laws and pay our allowances. I don't know how they could become so confused. Perhaps you are partly to blame. You have not watched them closely enough and they have fallen in with bad company. But, as the television repairman often says, the picture is not as black as it seems. There are still many parents who secretly believe. You have probably seen them going through strange rituals and observing peculiar taboos. This morning before breakfast, did you notice your father lean over and touch his toes repeatedly for no apparent reason? Does your mother go through intermittent periods of fasting? Does she refuse to eat certain, wonderfully rich desserts? Do not be upset. Your parents don't want to talk about it, but some ghost or evil spirit has appeared to them, possibly in their own dressing room, and they are desperately trying to exorcise him. Why am I publishing a book when I can haunt millions of houses simultaneously each Tuesday night? Certain types of stories make perfect television fare. In the realm of the ghost story, however, I think the printed page has some advantages and I want you to discover them. When you read, you can be alone. - Absolutely alone. Television gives you the comfortable illusion of associating with all those actors. Worst of all, it bathes the entire room in light. Under such circumstances it is amazing that the commercials can be as frightening as they are. But I have chatted long enough. It is time to get down to business. First, find a room where you can be alone. Comfortable? Uh-uh! Take that transistor radio out of your ear. We want absolute quiet. Next, turn the light down low. I know; plenty of light is better for your eyes. However, it is death to ghosts and we should always think of others. Now, concentrate on the printed page. ---What's that? You hear a strange noise? I'm sure it's just a shutter banging in the wind. - You don't have shutters? Good! Your attitude indicates you have completed your reading readiness and are all set. You may begin wandering through our little tract of haunted houses, - No, I'm not coming with you. This is as far as I go." - Alfred Hitchcock, from the Introduction.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Encuadernación: Rústica Colección: Viento Simun Cuando en 1876, Leopoldo II de Bélgica creó la Asociación Internacional Africana y financió luego la expedición de Stanley al río Congo (1879-1884), se estaban poniendo las bases para una de las mayores tragedias de la humanidad. Al principio, tanto Europa como los Estados Unidos apoyaron lo que creyeron que era una misión humanitaria y civilizadora. Pero en realidad se estaba permitiendo que uno de los peores monstruos de la historia, diese rienda suelta a sus ansias de riqueza sin que nadie supiera lo que estaba de verdad ocurriendo en "el corazón de las tinieblas": el exterminio cruel de los habitantes de la región. Sólo cuando comenzaron a surgir textos de denuncia, la opinión pública empezó a ser consciente de la realidad. Ediciones del Viento presenta en este volumen, traducidos por primera vez al español, cuatro durísimos documentos fundamentales para que el lector comprenda, de primera mano, la magnitud de la tragedia del Congo. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
