Samtidigt är Sternwoods svärson Rusty spårlöst försvunnen. Ett rutinjobb – om det inte vore för Sternwoods vilda dotter Carmen, vars lek med elden snart leder till död. I genombrottsromanen från 1939 spränger Raymond Chandler alla gränser för vad en hårdkokt deckare kan vara; en berättelse om livet i lagens utkanter, ett liv kantat av korruption och misstänksamhet, något som skulle komma att påverka generationer av kommande spänningsförfattare. Den stora sömnen är en definitiv klassiker och har utsetts till en av 1900-talets främsta romaner alla kategorier av såväl franska Le Monde som brittiska The Guardian. I svensk översättning av Mårten Edlund. I really liked this book. Great descriptions, juicy similes. This is really the book that defined the hard-boiled detective fiction genre as we know it. Raymond Chandler conjures a massively influential genre lead in Philip Marlowe. The classic private eye, blackmail, subterfuge, murder, corruption, femme fatale's and more are all present here and although the story beats are all familiar, there is a good reason for that. In addition, the craft in telling a story, using challenging jargonistic language in a way that is crystal clear to the reader, and on top of that, making the mystery not solvable from the first page? When an author invents the formula but the reader doesn't necessarily have a handle on his style, that's the good stuff! This is a very short novel and it took me some time to finish this. I'm not going to go all out and give it 5 stars just because it didn't quite hook me the way it did my brother, who finished it in a single day. Still I can see myself coming back to this one day and perhaps I might look at it more favourably then! È sempre l’ultimo incarico, per Philip Marlowe. Ma quello che gli abbiamo affidato stavolta, forse, è il più delicato. Sì, perché deve prendere tutto il décor e tutti i ferri del suo mestiere – le palme e il vento caldo di Los Angeles, la penombra minacciosa di interni sfarzosi e lo sfarfallio dell’acqua nelle piscine, il crepitio delle pistole e quello ancora più letale dei lamé –, aggiungerci il suo fuori campo in confondibile, e rimetterli al posto delle storie spesso ovvie raccontate da migliaia di suoi epigoni, in quell’universo narrativo opaco cui è stato attribuito d’ufficio un nome che non gli apparteneva: il noir. Sì, stavolta Marlowe deve riportare le lancette all’anno in cui tutto è cominciato, il 1939, e al luogo da cui tutto il resto ha tratto origine: questo romanzo. E per fortuna tutto fa pensare che ci riuscirà – o che fallirà magnificamente, come solo lui avrebbe potuto.
Novela repleta de nervio y de ingeniosos diálogos. Es un caso de chantaje el que lleva a Marlowe a asomarse a las alcantarillas de una sociedad en apariencia espléndida.
