New York: Continuum, 1990 Eric Ambler is widely regarded as one of the most important thriller writers of the twentieth century. In the 1930s he set out to give respectability to a genre that he rightly recognized to be in desperate need from its status as pulp fiction. With six novels published between 1936 and 1940, Ambler laid the foundations for the postwar generation of writers who have raised the spy novel to a form of literature. Like Graham Greene, Ambler has used thriller ingredients to create a series of novels that investigates many aspects of modern life, from totalitarian political regimes to white-collar crime. This is the first full-length study of Amber's life and work. In it, we get to the heart of the grand master of intrigue through insightful discussions of such popular novels as Epitaph for a Spy, A Coffin for Dimitrios, The Light of Day (on which the well-known film Topkapi is based), and The Siege of the Villa Lipp among many others. Through a book-by-book explanation of Amber's major themes and methods we come to see how his work has changed while remaining always topical. As this book cogently argues, no novelist has done more to dissolve the boundaries that have separated "popular" from "serious" fiction. 216p. bibliography.index.. 1st US Ed... Hardcover. New/New.

Hardcover with dust jacket, published by Continuum, 1990. the dust jacket is intact, it is not price clipped, and it has been protected with a clear, Brodart brand library quality cover. no former ownership marks, no writing on the text pages. There is no wear to report on the dust jacket. 216 pages with Index. A thorough review of the life and work of Eric Ambler, who helped to make the 'Thriller' genre more respectable through the skill of his writing from the 1930's into the early 1980's. There is a stain mark on the top edge of the text block, about a half inch across, light brown, coffee maybe? Does not affect the pages, no 'waviness' to the pages, just a discoloration of the edges of the text. Attached are photos of the book we have in our inventory.. We have several Ambler titles listed too.
