'I was neat, clean, shaved and sober, and I didn't care who knew it. I was everything the well-dressed private detective ought to be. I was calling on four million dollars.'

Los Angeles Private Investigator Philip Marlowe is hired by wheelchair-bound General Sternwood to discover who is blackmailing him. A broken, weary old man, Sternwood just wants Marlowe to make the problem go away. However, with Sternwood's two wild, devil-may-care daughters prowling LA's seedy backstreets, Marlowe's got his work cut out. And that's before he stumbles over the first corpse.

The Big Sleep is Raymond Chandler's first novel featuring laconic PI Philip Marlowe.

Eleştirmen yorumları

Chandler seems to have created the culminating American hero: wised up, hopeful, thoughtful, adventurous, sentimental, cynical and rebellious (Robert B. Parker)
Raymond Chandler invented a new way of talking about America, and America has never looked the same to us since (Paul Auster)
Raymond Chandler is a star of the first magnitude (Erle Stanley Gardner)

[T]he prose rises to heights of unselfconscious eloquence, and we realize with a jolt of excitement that we are in the presence of not a mere action tale teller, but a stylist, a writer with a vision

(Joyce Carol Oates)
Raymond Chandler is a master

Philip Marlowe remains the quintessential urban private eye
Nobody can write like Chandler on his home turf, not even Faulkner. . . A great artist
Anything Chandler writes about grips the mind from the first sentence

the ultimate. The narration really does add value and bring the story into being. Could not recommend more 👍

Excellent detective noire story. Quite possibly

See above, I don’t like to waste words. Blubber, pants, prosthetic, harmonica, haemolytic. I needed 15 words.

The turn of phrase, such great lines. Ridiculous plot, really, but still great.

A classic story and prime example of the genre. Excellent narration, but it was annoying when the F word was muted out, and the special introduction by the guest author wasn’t included with this audiobook, which was odd.

A Classic

Classic writing that captures the time brilliantly… Took me back to Humphrey Bogart and James Cagney movies. Great depth to the characters, and the flippant dialogue that stings on listening. Brilliantly narrated…

So good
