  • Wędrówki Po Bibliografii: Edgar Wallace
    Jerzy Gronau WĘDRÓWKI PO BIBLIOGRAFII ANGIELSKIEGO AUTORA POWIEŚCI SENSACYJNO-KRYMINALNYCH EDGARA WALLACE (Richard Horatio) Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) Kraków 2004 1 Jerzy GRONAU – Wędrówki po BIBLIOGRAFII Edgara WALLACE `a 2 Wstęp: Genezą tego opracowania były: - moja emerytura, - chęć powtórzenia swego rodzaju „zabawy umysłowej” którą przeżyłem przy innej pracy podobnego charakteru, - konstatacja o braku w polskim piśmiennictwie bibliografii tegoż autora. Już w dobrze zaawansowanej pracy, zdobyłem niedostępną w Polsce bibliografię „The British Bibliography of Edgar Wallace” z roku 1969, która stała się podstawą zreorganizowania moich dotychczasowych zapisów, dotyczących angielskich wydań tego autora. By rozszerzyć zakres informacji, dodałem również informacje o wydaniach w polskim języku, jak i w niemieckim oraz francuskim, które jednak z braku dostępnych źródeł są niepełne. Polskie przekłady różnych tłumaczy względnie opracowywujących nowe wydania, ukazywały się tak przed drugą wojną, jak i po niej. Wydało je kilkanaście wydawnictw, pod różnymi tytułami – bez odniesienia się do tytułu oryginału. Niestety informacje o przedwojennych przekładach pochodzą ze źródeł wtórnych, bowiem nie możliwym stało się obecnie zdobycie nie „zaczytanych” egzemplarzy, które w niektórych bibliotekach figurują raczej jako zniszczone lub zagubione egzemplarze. Muszę tutaj nadmienić, że nie znalazłem w swoich poszukiwaniach dotąd polskiej biblioteki tak naukowej jak i publicznej z pełnym kompletem powojennych wydań tego autora. Zresztą podobnie jest z wydawnictwami zgranicznymi- tam też trudno trafić na większy zbiór wydanych książek tego autora. Moje niniejsze opracowanie składa się z szeregu tabel, częściowo uporządkowanych wg bibliografii jak wyżej ze znakiem numeru kodu, jak również alfabetycznie i rokiem wydania książki. Myślę, że opracowania te przydadzą się dla poszukujących informacji bibliograficznych, choć zdaję sobie sprawę, że nie wyczerpują w pełni tego tematu.

  • PDF EPUB} Edgar Wallace Selected Novels by Edgar Wallace Edgar Wallace
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Edgar Wallace Selected Novels by Edgar Wallace Edgar Wallace. Sharon and her husband have been in the used and rare mystery book business for 17 years, but Sharon has been reading classic mysteries for more than half a century - from Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle, Dorothy Sayers, to Dashiell Hammett and many more. Before there was Tom Clancy or Stephen Coonts, before Robin Cook or James Patterson, before Helen MacInnes or Alistair MacLean, before them all was (Richard) (Horatio) Edgar Wallace (1875-1932), the inventor of the modern thriller. Wallace, raised in the slums of southeast London, had a varied career after finishing school. He worked in a printing firm, a shoe shop, a rubber factory, as a merchant seaman, a plasterer and a milk delivery boy. He served in the Royal West Kent Regiment in England (1893-1896) and the Medical Staff Corps in South Africa (1896-1899). His writing career began, as with so many authors, in journalism. As special correspondent for Reuters news agency (1899-1902) and London’s Daily Mail (1900-1902), he saw the Boer War in South Africa first hand. Wallace continued to write for newspapers until his death in 1932. Edgar Wallace was an incredibly prolific writer, producing over 200 works - including 170 novels - in addition to his newspaper articles. His first book, The Mission That Failed !, A tale of the Raid, and Other Poems , was published in 1898 and his last one in 1932. Most of his novels are thrillers. Though very popular with readers, Wallace faired less well with critics who pointed out the unseemliness of an author polishing off a novel over the weekend.

  • Fleas on the Dog Complete Issue Three
    FLEAS ON THE DOG COMPLETE ISSUE 3 403 P./115,286 WORDS 46 SUBMISSIONS 1 WELCOME ! Issue 3 July 1, 2019 Sure size isn’t everything but we still like it when people think we have a BIG…um…Issue. And a BIG issue it is! Welcome to Fleas on the Dog. We’re a no frills, brown bag online lit rag. (We like to think we’re underground with our heads sticking out.) We don’t care about pretty pictures or fancy layouts. We’re interested in one thing and one thing only: GOOD WRITING! Our lone mandate is quality which means if your mother likes your writing we probably won’t. A special feature we are introducing with Issue 3 is HOTS--‘hands off the submissions!’ As you peruse the stories and articles you will notice that each has a different look. That’s because we upload our accepted submissions exactly as received. We like this approach because it creates a sense of visual diversity and emphasizes the writer as an individual in a way a uniform format does not. Similarly, while we occasionally soft edit, in some stories we don’t correct typos or grammar glitches in the interest of voice authenticity. We’re proud to announce that three writers are making their publishing debut in this issue. Congratulations to Rachel Adams, Lou Morrison and Tom Smith! And among our roster of distinguished veteran writers we are honoured to feature the 2017 Mona Schreiber Prize Winner for Humorous Fiction and Nonfiction (Debbie Miller), Poetry in the Arts First Place Award and Dorfman Prize winner (Gerard Sarnat), First Prize winner Autumn House Press Fiction Award (Ashley Cowger), the 2017 Lorien Prize winner (Howie Good), the 2 times winner of the Excellent Awards from Ohio Arts Council (Ivars Balkits) and 2 Pushcart Prize nominees (W.

Even now, months later, it’s hardly possible to fathom such a violent act being perpetrated on Jews while they worship. While we are no strangers to anti-Semitic behavior, this particular event that took place in our own community has shaken us all. But even in the midst of such intense darkness, we found light. That very day, waves of shared outrage, grief, sympathy and even hope began to pour in from all over the world. In the subsequent weeks and months, support came to us from everywhere in every form. This book is a collection of some of the more than 500 letters received by JFCS, sending the victims and their families, community responders and service agencies and our entire city messages of love and solidarity. These letters told us that we weren’t alone. At JFCS, we have been comforted by these messages.

  • The Terrible People
    THE TERRIBLE PEOPLE BY EDGAR WALLACE The Terrible People CHAPTER I HARRY THE LANCER came into Burton Street Station to show his "brief," for he was out of Dartmoor only that Monday, having served twenty-one months short of seven years. He slouched in, a scowl on his yellow, scarred face, and produced his document to the station sergeant. "Henry Beneford, S'ar'nt—convic' on license. Gotta report here—" And then he saw Inspector Long (or, as they called him, "Betcher,") and his eyes blazed. It was unfortunate in many ways, but most unfortunate for the Lancer, as it proved, that Betcher was present. He had called round to identify a much-desired shoplifter. "Morning, Inspector. Still alive, I see?" "And kicking," said Sub-Inspector Arnold Long cheerfully. The ugly lip of Harry the Lancer curled. "Wonder your perishin' conscience don't keep you awake at night—you got me seven by lyin' an' artfulness!" "And I hope to get you another seven," said Betcher cheerfully. "If I had my way, Lancer, I'd put you in a lethal chamber—where they put the other mad dogs. And the world would be a better place." The long upper lip of the man began to twitch spasmodically. People who knew him best flew to cover at this ominous warning, but though Arnold Long knew him well enough, he was not alarmed. Truly, the Lancer had been a lancer in His Majesty's Army for eighteen months, at the end of which time he went down for three years for kicking a corporal to unconsciousness.

As a young writer, his record draws me to look up to him as Nathan Zuckerman and his peers looked up to The Suede: like I am a few classes after he has graduated, and his name is still here on the plaques in the halls, to be compared to, to define oneself against, to be discovered when one takes the time to wonder where the awards went. Twenty-nine novels. Two memoirs. Two works of literary criticism. Two National Book Awards (1960, 1995), two National Book Critics’ Circle Awards (1987, 1991), two Pen/Faulkner Awards, the National Medal of Arts, the Pulitzer Prize, the Frances Medici Foreign Book Prize. His works are collected by the Library of America—one of only three living writers with that particular honor. Timothy Parrish suggests, in the Cambridge Companion to Philip Roth, that “Roth has been perhaps the most critically significant and consistently controversial American writer of the past 50 years” (Parrish 1).
