Kaikki Nero Wolfe -Tapaukset Kaikki Nero Wolfe -tapaukset From http://www.kopteri.net/koti/kilahti/nero.html Kaikki Nero Wolfe -tapaukset Taulukossa on lueteltuna julkaisujärjestyksessä kaikki Nero Wolfe -tapaukset. Julkaisujärjestyksestä ja - vuosista löytyi ristiriitaista tietoa, joten niihin voi suhtautua varauksella. Koska taulukossa on niin monta saraketta, se hieman sekava. Siksi tein erilliset taulukot Englanninkielisistä kirjoista ja Suomennetuista kirjoista. Näissä taulukoissa on novellikokoelmat mukana normaaleina kirjoina. Osa tarinoista on n. 60 sivuisia "pienoisromaaneja", jotka on alunperin julkaistu esim. sanomalehdissä. Nämä jutut on julkaistu myöhemmin 2-4 juttua sisältävinä kirjoina, joiden nimet ovat taulukon neljännessä sarakkeessa "Kokoelmassa". Täysimittaisten kirjojen kohdalla tämä sarake on tyhjä. Samoin suomennettujen kirjojen sarake on tyhjä, jos kirjaa ei ole suomennettu Kahdesta tarinasta on kaksi toisistaan poikkeavaa versiota. "Assault in Browstone" ja "Counterfreit for murder" ovat osittain sama tarina. Myös "Murder is no joke" ja "Frame-up for murder" ovat osittain sama tarina. Osa tarinoista on julkaistu eri nimilllä esim. Saturday Evening postissa ja pienoisromaanien kokoelmissa. Lisää sotkua tuo se, että osa täysimittaisista kirjoista on julkaistu englanniksi usealla eri nimellä, ja myös niistä on tehty muutaman kirjan "paketteja".

  • OPUNTIA Books About the Spread of the Human Race Through the Galaxy, Done As Spenglerian History
    LET ALL THE NUMBER OF THE STARS GIVE LIGHT by Dale Speirs CITIES IN FLIGHT (1970, hardcover) by James Blish is a omnibus of four OPUNTIA books about the spread of the human race through the galaxy, done as Spenglerian history. The books were written in various lengths between 1950 and 1962, some of which are fix-ups of short stories, and others rearranged for the 1970 omnibus edition, which is the text I review here.. Canada Day 2014 279 I read the series once in the early 1970s as a teenager in rural Red Deer, a second time in the 1980s as a yuppie in Calgary, and for the third and final time as I thin out my library. It made quite an impression on teenaged Dale, now a stranger to me, living as he did in a rural area where nothing ever happened, and Opuntia is published by Dale Speirs, Calgary, Alberta. Since you are reading where all of the kids couldn’t wait until they could escape to the big city. Fifty this only online, my real-mail address doesn’t matter. My eek-mail address (as years later, having spent the majority of my life as a suburban homeowner, my the late Harry Warner Jr liked to call it) is: [email protected] view of the series is not and cannot be the same. When sending me an emailed letter of comment, please include your name and town in the message. Conjures The Wandering Stars. The first book in the omnibus is THEY SHALL HAVE STARS.

  • Rex Stout Does Not Belong in Russia: Exporting the Detective Novel
    Wesleyan University The Honors College Rex Stout Does Not Belong in Russia: Exporting the Detective Novel by Molly Jane Levine Zuckerman Class of 2016 A thesis submitted to the faculty of Wesleyan University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts with Departmental Honors in the Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies Program Middletown, Connecticut April, 2016 Foreword While browsing through a stack of Russian and American novels in translation on a table on Arbat Street in Moscow in 2013, I came across a Russian copy of one of my favorite books, And Be a Villain, by one of my favorite authors, Rex Stout. I only knew about this author because my father had lent me a copy of And Be a Villain when I was in middle school, and I was so entranced by the novel that I went out to Barnes & Noble to buy as many as they had in stock. I quickly ran out of Stout books to read, because at the time, his books were out of print in America. I managed to get hold of most copies by high school, courtesy of a family friend’s mother who had died and passed on her collection of Stout novels to our family. Due to the relative difficulty I had had in acquiring these books in America, I was surprised to find one lying on a book stand in Moscow, so I bought it for less than 30 cents (which was probably around the original price of its first printing in America).

  • Rex Stout (1886-1975)
    REX STOUT (1886-1975) FEATURING ALL THE NERO WOLFE TITLES In 1959, at age 73, Rex Stout received the Mystery Writers of America’s Grand Master Award. At the time, he had published 32 books featuring Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin, his most enduring characters, including classics such as THE LEAGUE OF FRIGHTENED MEN (1935), SOME BURIED CEASAR (1939), and AND BE A VILLAIN (1948). Not surprisingly, given his outspoken left-wing political views, particularly on civil liberties, Stout had also created one of the earliest female private investigators, Theolinda “Dol” Bonner, in THE HAND IN GLOVE (1937), and a part-Native American farmer-turned-detective, Tecumseh Fox, in DOUBLE FOR DEATH (1939). Having been named a Grand Master, however, hardly meant Stout’s career was done. Fifteen years of writing still lay ahead of him, including two of his most highly regarded Nero Wolfe novels, DEATH OF A DOXY (1966) and A FAMILY AFFAIR (1975). When Stout passed away at the age of 88, the Nero Wolfe series consisted of 77 titles, including novels, novellas, and short stories. Stout scholar and biographer John McAleer has described the Nero Wolfe mysteries as “an epic that ultimately would encompass more than ten thousand pages.” No wonder, as the 20th century drew to a close, that mystery and detective writers and aficionados at Bouchercon XXXI in September of 2000 nominated Rex Stout for Writer of the Century and the Nero Wolfe mysteries as Series of the Century. From the publication of FER-DE-LANCE, the first Nero Wolfe novel in 1934, the Wolfe mysteries have always been a unique blend of golden age whodunit and hardboiled crime.

  • Semi-Private Eyes
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1982 Volume I: Society and the Detective Novel Semi-Private Eyes Curriculum Unit 82.01.05 by Anthony F. Franco Benny sits in the cafeteria, opens his carton of milk, and prepares to devour his government-subsidized fried chicken. Within moments several other boys join him with their lunch trays at the table. A few minutes later there are no less than six other boys and several girls jockeying for position at the now crowded table. Benny is captain of the basketball team, good-looking, well-mannered, and adequately intelligent. His popularity is well-deserved. He is adored by students and well-liked by his teachers. Benny will say very little at the table today. The conversation concerns the school’s basketball game of the previous afternoon. Should he agree with the jabbering analysis, it will be looked upon as formal certification of all that transpires. If he should disagree with the minutest detail concerning the game, the conversation will immediately take a different turn. Benny uses his foils well. Tricia is an extremely attractive co-ed at the same school as Benny. Tricia has attained academic honors throughout the year. Each morning a crowd of students surrounds Tricia’s desk as she brushes her hair and freshens her makeup. Throughout the day Tricia is never unaccompanied to class. Her usual companions are a bevy of other girls who do not approach Tricia’s appearance or intelligence. These same girls usually sit near Tricia in her classes and are attentive to every word she says.
