From: Versandantiquariat Abendstunde (Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Germany)
About this Item: Büchergilde Gutenberg (Lizenz des Wilhelm Heyne Verlags), Frankfurt am Main und Wien, 1990. Pappe. Condition: gut. Erste Aufl./ Lizenzausgabe. Fadengehefteter, illustrierter Pappeinband in gutem Erhaltungszustand. Samuel Dashiell Hammett (* 27. Mai 1894 in Maryland; 10. Januar 1961 in New York) war ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller. Er veröffentlichte auch unter dem Pseudonym Peter Collinson. Hammett gilt noch vor Raymond Chandler als der Begründer des amerikanischen Kriminalromans (hardboiled novel). In seinen Kriminalromanen beschrieb er den amerikanischen Privatdetektiv als Antihelden. Die realistische Darstellung des Verbrechermilieus sowie die Verquickung von Verbrecher und Detektiv setzen Hammett von den klassischen Kriminalautoren, die eine oft dualistische Einteilung der Gesellschaft in gut" und böse" machen, ab. Seine wahrscheinlich bekannteste Figur ist Sam Spade aus dem Roman Der Malteser Falke; erfolgreich verfilmt als Die Spur des Falken. Georg Eisler (* 20. April 1928 in Wien; 15. Jänner 1998 ebenda) war ein österreichischer Maler und Grafiker.Georg Eisler war ein wichtiger Maler des 20. Jahrhunderts, der besonders durch seine Porträts von berühmten Künstlern und Intellektuellen hervorgetreten ist. So zählen zu den von ihm gemalten Personen: Erich Fried, Hilde Spiel, Georg Lukács und viele mehr. Seine Bilder hängen in der ganzen Welt in den bedeutendsten Sammlungen wie der Albertina in Wien oder den Uffizien in Florenz sowie der National Portrait Gallery in London und dem British Museum. Außerdem hat er stets mit seinem ganz unverwechselbaren Stil das Alltägliche eingefangen und zahlreiche Bücher illustriert. (Wikipedia) In deutscher Sprache. 96 pages. Klein 8° (123 x 185mm).
