Reseña del editor
The classic and highly riveting adventure story by John Buchan is presented in this edition.
Published in 1915 at a time when public interest in espionage and spy adventures was growing, The Thirty-Nine Steps brought the fast-paced adventures of Richard Hannay to an eager audience. Caught up in a geopolitical plot that is transpiring around Europe after two men - one a freelance spy - are murdered in his apartment block, Hannay enters into the murkily adventurous world of espionage in order to save multiple political figures from assassination.
Ahead of its time, The Thirty-Nine Steps pioneered a dialogue rich, fantastical style of writing which would come to typify adventure tales and thrillers. It is frequently placed in the 'man-on-the-run' sub-genre, for portraying Hannay simultaneously as a wanted fugitive, and a potential saviour with important knowledge that may alter the course of Europe's entire politics.
The book gained traction with the public and was a bestseller during and shortly after World War I. Its author penned a further four more works featuring Richard Hannay, while The Thirty-Nine Steps itself has received several motion picture and radio adaptations.
