John Creasey Livres

Avec le Baron, Anthony Morton a créé un personnage nouveau en littérature, celui de l'honnête commerçant qui est par ailleurs un redoutable gentleman-cambrioleur. John Mannering, en tant que joaillier, attire les coups des gangsters ; en sa qualité de Baron, ceux de la police. Son art consiste à opposer ses divers adversaires pour qu'ils se neutralisent. John Mannering vit les rubis, et les saphirs, et l'énorme émeraude. La caverne d'Ali Baba rutilait sous ses yeux éblouis. Dans le seul coffre où lord Fauntley était en train de ranger la collection Gabrienne, il apercevait une douzaine d'écrins plus petits. Et il connaissait la combinaison du coffre... Subitement, le plaisir et l'excitation qu'il avait trouvés ces derniers temps à parier sa fortune sur des chevaux hasardeux lui parurent dignes d'un enfant de chœur. Pour le Baron, c'était le moment d'entrer en scène.

"This book is for teachers of 'A' level English looking for ways to incorporate new teaching and learning styles and cross-curricular themes into classroom work. It will also be useful to teachers of English who are being encouraged to diversify into the increasingly popular area of Communications." "The authors define 'entitlement' in terms of processes (the development of students' confidence and autonomy as learners) and content (material which invites an informed and critical response to society). The first part of the book is concerned with 'A' level English literature and explores a variety of teaching and learning styles and a range of socially relevant issues that can be accommodated within English literature texts. Part Two concentrates on Communications Studies and shows how students gain confidence, independence and 'grasp' upon the world through the course and its assessed tasks." "The emphasis of the book is practical, and at every stage of their argument the authors provide examples of successful classroom practice which could readily be adapted to the needs of any English Department."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

One of Creasey most beloved series included Chief Inspector George Gideon of Scotland Yard, written under the J.J. Marric pen name. The Gideon series was also the most lauded. Anthony Boucher called Gideon’s Day, Creasey’s best work. HFR Keating included Gideon’s Week in his 100 Best Crime and Mystery Books. Mystery Writers of America awarded Creasey the Edgar for Best Novel for Gideon’s Fire. Gideon’s Day was dramatized into a film in the late 1950s, and the books became a television series in the early 1960s. Beyond the twenty-one novels, Creasey (as Marric) wrote a series of short stories featuring the Chief Inspector. These appeared in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine nearly 50 years ago, and this marks the first time that all of these works have been compiled into a book.
