The Big Sleep and Other Novels

Often imitated but never bettered, it is in Marlowe's long shadow that every fictional detective must stand - and under the influence of Raymond Chandler's addictive prose that every crime author must write. Marlowe's entanglement with the Sternwood family - and an attendant cast of colourful underworld figures.

Adesea imitata, dar niciodata intrecuta, in umbra lunga a lui Marlowe trebuie sa stea fiecare detectiv fictiv - si sub influenta prozei captivante a lui Raymond Chandler trebuie sa scrie orice autor de romane politiste. Incurcatura lui Marlowe cu familia Sternwood - si o distributie insotitoare de personaje colorate din lumea interlopa.
