Więcej o książce
James Thurber, one of the greatest American humorists, was not a man to shrink from danger - as long as he was safely ensconsed behind his typewriter or drawing board. Thurber on Crime is a collection of the master's ruminations on everyday villainy: stories, articles, essays, drawings, and reflections on the evil that men and women do. Several of the pieces are appearing here for the first time in book form. One of Thurber's major contributions to American letters is his view of the "little man" - Walter Mitty and his brothers - doing battle with the world. In the pages of Thurber on Crime, the little man fights international spies, gets mixed up in gangland vendettas, and plans the perfect murder.
