Reading this was a bit like eating pancakes for lunch, they are filling, tasty with toppings, but don't give you much nutrition and you end up feeling hungry soon after, and wishing you'd eaten a BLT instead. The story suffers from exaggerated descriptions of its characters. The man appears to know of an anarchist plot to destabilise Europe, beginning with a plan to assassinate the Greek Premier, Constantine Karolides, during his forthcoming visit to London. On returning to Britain, Buchan built a successful career in publishing with Nelsons and Reuters.

  • John Buchan Wrote the Thirty-Nine Steps While He Was Ill in Bed with a Duodenal Ulcer, an Illness Which Remained with Him All His Life

    John Buchan Wrote the Thirty-Nine Steps While He Was Ill in Bed with a Duodenal Ulcer, an Illness Which Remained with Him All His Life

    John Buchan wrote The Thirty-Nine Steps while he was ill in bed with a duodenal ulcer, an illness which remained with him all his life. The novel was his first ‘shocker’, as he called it — a story combining personal and political dramas. The novel marked a turning point in Buchan's literary career and introduced his famous adventuring hero, Richard Hannay. He described a ‘shocker’ as an adventure where the events in the story are unlikely and the reader is only just able to believe that they really happened. The Thirty-Nine Steps is one of the earliest examples of the 'man-on-the-run' thriller archetype subsequently adopted by Hollywood as an often-used plot device. In The Thirty-Nine Steps, Buchan holds up Richard Hannay as an example to his readers of an ordinary man who puts his country’s interests before his own safety. The story was a great success with the men in the First World War trenches. One soldier wrote to Buchan, "The story is greatly appreciated in the midst of mud and rain and shells, and all that could make trench life depressing." Richard Hannay continued his adventures in four subsequent books. Two were set during the war when Hannay continued his undercover work against the Germans and their allies The Turks in Greenmantle and Mr Standfast. The other two stories, The Three Hostages and The Island of Sheep were set in the post war period when Hannay's opponents were criminal gangs. There have been several film versions of the book; all depart substantially from the text, for example, by introducing a love interest absent from the original novel.
  • 39 Steps' a Madcap Evening of Fun (D&C)

    39 Steps' a Madcap Evening of Fun (D&C)

    Review: Geva's '39 Steps' a madcap evening of fun (D&C) Hitchcock presents: a madcap "Good evening" of farce in Geva's production based on the legendary filmmaker's 1935 thriller, The 39 Steps. In this Monty Python-like spoof adapted by Patrick Barlow from the John Buchan novel, dashing 37-year-old Richard Hannay is an everyman drawn into an elaborate web of intrigue. In London, he meets a World War II female spy with a thick German accent. She alludes to a conspiracy plot to steal vital British military secrets and invites herself to his apartment after they meet during a music hall performance of the human encyclopedia savant Mr. Memory. When she staggers to his side the next morning with a knife in her back, Hannay goes on the lam to escape being framed for her murder. With sly references to Hitch's most famous films, the unwitting hero must dodge murderous thugs, escape from a moving train, leap from a railway bridge, rove wearily across the Scottish moors, run from police, hounds, Birds and aircraft going North by Northwest and exit through a Rear Window. Along the way, he meets two femmes fatales, including one who suffers fromVertigo, who add spark to his love life. The cast of four actors, under the tight direction of Sean Daniels, manage to create more than 150 characters — from farmers, hotel owners and police officers to the maid who delivers the epic silent scream that turns into a train whistle. While the inventive rolling props and Houdini-like trunks by scenic designer Michael Raiford double as hotels, kitchens and bedrooms, the sound effects by Matt Callahan add lively momentum to augment each scene.
