Condition: New. BRAND NEW-" CLASSIC ESPIONAGE STORIES "The Purloined Letter" by Edgar Allan Poe (1845) "Perhaps it is the very simplicity of the thing which puts you at fault." . Not altogether a fool," said G., "but then he's a poet, which I take to be only one remove from a fool." "True," said Dupin, after a long and thoughtfu…l whiff from his meerschaum, "although I have been guilty of certain doggerel myself. "If it is any point requiring reflection," observed Dupin, as he forebore to enkindle the wick, "we shall examine it to better purpose in the dark." "That is another of your odd notions," said the Prefect, who had the fashion of calling everything "odd" that was beyond his comprehension, and thus lived amid an absolute legion of "oddities." "The Bruce-Partington Plans" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle "The London criminal is certainly a dull fellow," said he, "Look out of this window, Watson. See how the figures loom up, are dimly seen, and then blend once more into the cloud bank. The thief or the murderer could roam London on such a day as the tiger does the jungle, unseen until he pounces, and then evident only to his victim." "There have," said I, "been numerous petty thefts." Holmes snorted his contempt. "This great and somber stage is set for something more worthy than that," said he. "It is fortunate for this community that I am not a criminal."It was one of my friend's most obvious weaknesses that he was impatient with a less alert intelligence than his own. "Sherlock. Give me your details, and from an armchair, I will return you an excellent opinion." - Mycroft. . "The Brass Butterfly" by William Le Queux "Touch that button and you're a dead man!" "Match Point in Berlin" "A short scream behind her brought her head around." "The Interrogation of the Prisoner Bung by Mister Hawkins and Sergeant Tree" Clever Bung! By being interrogated he is gleaning all important information. "The Rocking Horse Spy" "The big, sour-faced Russian said, 'This country stinks.'".

E, naturalmente, di « spionisti » di mestiere. Completano il volume un'ntroduzione ragionata sugli sviluppi della narratfva di spionaggio dalle origini ai giorni nostri» un saggio del politologo Giorgio Galli sui rapporti fra politica e spy-story, e la prima catalogazione sistematica mai apparsa in Italia sugli autori e i personaggi che hanno reso popolare il genere.
