Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1915, John Buchan's definitive spy novel was the fi rst in a long line of espionage thrillers to delve into the underbelly of the British establishment. Over a hundred years later, The Thirty-Nine Steps remains resonant, and the various film, television and theatre adaptations of this classic - most notably Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 version - are a testament to its capacity to thrill. This edition contains a wealth of material about the author's life and works, notes and a bibliographic section.

His political career usually took precedence over his writing, but he still managed to produce several iconic works of spy fi ction, including his masterpiece The Thirty-Nine Steps.
