Uncle Abner, Master of Mysteries: A Collection of Classic Detective Stories (Dover Mystery Classics) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
This acclaimed collection — perhaps the finest of short American detective stories — chronicles the crime-solving exploits of a powerful mind and moral figure in the 19th-century Appalachian wilderness. Uncle Abner employs shrewd deductive skills and his faith-based sense of justice to expose evil-doing in these 18 intriguing stories. Enriched by historical, political, religious, and legal observations, the tales are often favorably compared with Chesterton's Father Brown mysteries.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Melville Davisson Post (1869–1930) was a lawyer before he became one of America's most highly regarded writers, and his Uncle Abner stories abound in subtle nuances of evidence, criminal investigation, and points of law. Post's fiction is noteworthy for its remarkable form, imaginative plots, economical writing, and inexorable inner story logic.

Trade Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. An excellent copy. 2017 Trade Paperback. 252 pp. First published in 1918, Uncle Abner: Master of Mysteries is an anthology of detective stories written by Melville Davisson Post.

Uncle Abner is an amateur detective in present-day Harrison County, West Virginia. Throughout his journeys around this antebellum wilderness, long before the nation had a proper police system, the honest Uncle Abner is confronted by murders and mysteries that cannot be ignored. With uncanny intuition, impressive logic, and keen observation of human actions, Uncle Abner is Melville Davisson Post's most celebrated literary creation and is considered to be one of the most important texts in American detective and crime fiction.
