SINOPSE
"This fascinating collection of hitherto unpublished or ungathered tales . . . will be a treat for any fan of the father of the hardboiled detective story." —The Wall Street Journal
A unique publication from one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, The Hunter and Other Stories includes new Dashiell Hammett stories gleaned from his personal archives along with screen treatments long buried in film industry files, screen stories, and intriguing unfinished narratives.
Hammett is regarded as both a pioneer and master of hardboiled detective fiction, but these dozen-and-a-half pieces, which explore failed romance, courage in the face of conflict, hypocrisy, and crass opportunism, show him in a different light.
The title story concerns a dogged PI unwilling to let go of a seemingly trivial case, and the collection also includes an unfinished Sam Spade story and two full-length screen treatments: "On the Make," about a corrupt detective, and "The Kiss-Off," the basis for City Streets (1931), in which Gary Cooper and Sylvia Sydney are caught in a romance complicated by racketeering’s obligations and temptations. Rich in both story and character, this is a volume no Hammett fan should do without.
"For aficionados of the genre, the unearthing of new Hammett stories is akin to Christians discovering an epilogue to the New Testament. . . . These stories are among Hammett’s best. . . . [His] prose is always savvy and sturdy, but for the man who invented ‘hard-boiled,’ it can also be surprisingly elegant." —San Francisco Chronicle

SOBRE O AUTOR
Dashiell Hammett
Dashiell Hammett nasceu em 1894, no estado de Maryland, EUA. Começou a trabalhar aos catorze anos para ajudar a sustentar a família e em 1915, tinha então vinte e um anos, foi contratado pela Agência de Detetives Pinkerton. Este período serviu-lhe de inspiração para a escrita de policiais. A sua carreira literária iniciou-se com a publicação de contos na revista Black Mask, protagonizados desde logo pelo investigador Continental Op, um verdadeiro "duro" com vinte anos de experiência, que seria o herói do seu livro de estreia, Colheita Sangrenta, lançado em 1929. O Falcão de Malta, publicado em 1930, é a primeira obra onde surge outra das suas personagens marcantes, o detetive Sam Spade, e continua a ser até hoje o seu livro mais famoso, tendo sido frequentemente transposto para o cinema. Completam a obra essencial de Hammett os títulos A Maldição dos Dain (1929), A Chave de Cristal (1931) e O Homem Sombra (1934). Juntamente com Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett introduziu o realismo nas histórias de detetives e é considerado o pai do género hard-boiled. Faleceu em Nova Iorque a 10 de janeiro de 1961.
