About this listen

The Thirty-Nine Steps (1915) is an adventure novel in the espionage genre by the Scottish author John Buchan. A classic of the genre, it is the first of five novels featuring Richard Hannay, an action hero with a knack for getting himself out of difficult situations. The Thirty-Nine Steps is a prototypical "innocent man on the run" adventure. Hanney lets a neighbor stay with him, who is being followed by an anarchist gang trying to steal British military plans. Then the neighbor is murdered in his apartment....

The novel’s film adaptations include Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 version, a 1978 version, and a 2008 version for British television. In 2003, the book earned a place on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's best-loved novels.
