The Nero Wolfe corpus was nominated for Best Mystery Series of the Century at Bouchercon 2000, the world's largest mystery convention, and Rex Stout was a nominee for Best Mystery Writer of the Century. The Nero Wolfe stories take place contemporaneously with their writing and depict a changing landscape and society. The principal characters in the corpus do not age. Although it is not directly stated in the stories, Nero Wolfe's age is 56, according to Rex Stout. "Those stories have ignored time for thirty-nine years," Stout told his authorized biographer John McAleer. "Any reader who can't or won't do the same should skip them. I didn't age the characters because I didn't want to. That would have made it cumbersome and would seem to have centered attention on the characters rather than the stories." Archie Goodwin, the narrator of the stories, frequently describes Wolfe as weighing "a seventh of a ton." At the time of the first book, 1934, this was intended to indicate unusual obesity, especially through the use of the word "ton" as the unit of measure. In 1947 Archie writes, "He weighs between 310 and 390, and he limits his physical movements to what he regards as the irreducible essentials." "Wolfe's most extravagant distinction is his extreme antipathy to literal extravagance. Genre: Mystery. Three Trumps a Nero Wolfe Omnibus.

  • 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.

    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".

This paper problematizes the caricatural presence of Montenegro on the symbolic map of travellers from the contemporary Anglophone world. To depict the contours of this paradoxical presence, we propose a brief look at the romantic image of the country developed in the last two centuries. Then we provide a chronological overview and stress details from the most recent depictions to conclude that the image of the place has almost stayed frozen till the present day. While avoiding politicizing, essentializing, and self-stigmatization, we conclude that the absence of the country as a real historical, socio-political, and cultural complexity has been conditioned by its long and manifold isolation. We provide examples from travel writing, tourist and media representations, fiction, and film. Our analysis relies mostly on authorities on the travel-writing genre. Key words: Montenegro, history, travel writing, fiction, tourism. THE OLD MONTENEGRO Until it was declared a kingdom in 1910 Montenegro was an isolated space surrounded by the hostile Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires. It was only the rare politicians and scientists, but usually actually spies, who visited it. As we learn from Branko Momčilović, the first reports about Montenegro appeared in the eighteenth century, two published in The Annual Register (1767-1768) focusing on Šćepan Mali, the imposter king, and one by Eyles Irwin (1788) who claimed that ―the Natives of Montagna Negro‖ are of Greek origin (1990: 10-11).
