Barks, Carl: Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge Adventures in Color 25. USA Prescott, Gladstone,
NEU BUCH, noch original eingeschweißt, mit der Trading Card

First Printing (?) Scrooge's quest for a missing merchant vessel begins inauspiciously but turns to disaster when the ship proves to be "The Flying Dutchman." Carl Barks recollected that "the myth of the Dutchman was something I read references to in pulp magazines' sea stories. I gathered it was a legend with a grain of truth. " This comic album has a title page that departs from the norm in that the art by Barks was relatively contemporary -- not drawn in 1959 at the time of the story, but some twenty seven years later: a pen and ink tracing from "Afoul of the Flying Dutchman," a 1985 oil painting based on the vintage story. An in-depth article by Geoffrey Blum entitled "Stormy Seas" delves into the history of three more "Flying Dutchman" oils Barks did in the early 1970's, reproducing six stages of two of them. The history, as reported by Blum of who bought what and when was mostly correct in 1997, but more is known now (and that is yet another story for another time). Softcover

Scholarly Paper (Advanced Seminar) aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Amerikanistik - Literatur, einseitig bedruckt, Note: 2, Universität Kassel (Anglistik-Amerikanistik), Veranstaltung: American Crime Fiction, 14 Eintragungen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Englisch, Anmerkungen: Double-spaced, Abstract: Raymond Thornton Chandler started his career as a crime novelist relatively late in 1933 at the age of 45 (Widdicombe, xvi). With the foundation of the Black Mask Magazine, Chandler, as well as many other writers, got the chance to test his talent as a crime novelist and simultaneously to raise some money. His first stories were miniature novels which were strongly influenced by his British sophistication and education (Phillips, 17). But he was aware of the fact that he had to veil his style of writing in order to make it acceptable to the American readers, especially the Black Mask readers (Phillips, 17). During 1933 and 1939 Chandler published 20 detective stories in several pulp magazines until he wrote his first novel The Big Sleep (Neumeyer, 329). By writing longer fiction Chandler had to portray his characters fully and give an authentic sense of the world, whereas the short story allowed him to rely on action (MacShane, 63).Chandler's ambition was to mark off from the English detectives of Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, i.e. to create a reliable character that would leave scars and transfer what he calls a 'half-poetical emotion' that is the heart of the work (MacShane, 69). This kind of reliability became one of Chandler's dogmas and occurs not only in his creation of characters and plot but also in the historical background of the stories. In the following paper I'm going to analyze the origin and development of the private-eye in general. I will focus my analysis on the development of the detective in American hard-boiled fiction with reference to Philip Marlowe in Raymond Chandler's The Curtain, Killer in the Rain, and the novel The Big Sleep. The choice relies on the fact that The Big Sleep and its character Philip Marlowe evolved from the two short stories. The question also includes how Marlowe is characterized throughout the stories.

Taschenbuch. Umschlag etwas berieben. Kanten etwas bestoßen. Seiten etwas nachgedunkelt. Sonst altersgemäß gute Erhaltung. r34 It was in the pulp detective magazines of the 1930s that Raymond Chandler s definitive take on the hard-boiled detective story first appeared. Here then, from the well-thumbed pages of Black Mask and Dime Detective Magazine , are eight of his finest stories including The Man Who Liked Dogs , The Lady in the Lake and Bay City Blues . Sharper than a hoodlum s switchblade, more exciting than an unexpected red-head and stronger than a double shot of whisky, they are packed full of the punchy poetry and laconic wit that makes Chandler the undisputed master of his genre. 1964,
