【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Double Indemnity【電子書籍】[ Richard Schickel ]

＜p＞Richard Schickel's study of Billy Wilder's 1944 noir classic ＜em＞Double Indemnity＜/em＞ traces in fascinating detail the genesis and realisation of the film: its literary origins in James M. Cain's hard-boiled crime novel, the difficult relations between Wilder and his scriptwriter Raymond Chandler, the casting of a reluctant Fred MacMurray, and the late decision to cut the expensively filmed execution sequence from the final release.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Schickel places ＜em＞Double Indemnity＜/em＞ in the context of early 1940s Hollywood and the emergence of a new kind of crime thriller that later became known as film noir. The film was a cornerstone of the genre: its script creates two unforgettable criminal characters, the cynically manipulative femme fatale Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck) and the likeable but amoral Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray). Billy Wilder's direction enmeshes them in dramatic chiaroscuro, as bright California sunlight casts Venetian-blind shadows across dusty rooms and harsh lamplight slices through the night.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In his afterword to this new edition, James Naremore pays tribute to Schickel's analysis of Double Indemnity and its contexts, and considers debates surrounding the film's conclusion.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

His cause: a long-overdue lesson on the importance of manners. When a man gives a public tongue-lashing to a misbehaving child, or a parking lot attendant is rude to a series of customers, the "Manners Killer" makes sure that the next thing either sees is the beginning of his own grisly end. When he starts mailing letters to the Southeast London police squad, he'll soon find out just how bad a man's manners can get. The Southeast is dominated by the perpetual sneer of one Inspector Brant, and while he might or might not agree with the killer's cause and can even forgive his tactics to some degree, Brant is just ornery enough to employ his trademark brand of amoral, borderline-criminal policing to the hunt for the Manners Killer. For if there's one thing that drives the incomparable inspector, it's the unshakeable conviction that if anyone is going to be getting away with murder on his patch, it'll be Brant himself, thank you very much.

(Publishers Weekly, STARRED) - Shamus Award Winner for Best PI Hardcover Novel - Although badly scarred and down to his last kidney after the previous caper, Happy Doll is back in business. When a beguiling young woman turns up at his door, it's Doll's past that comes knocking. Mary DeAngelo is searching for her estranged mother, Ines Candle--a singular and troubled woman Doll once loved. The last he'd seen her she'd been near-death: arms slit like envelopes. Although she survived the episode, she vanished shortly thereafter. Now, years later, Mary claims Ines is alive and has recently made contact--messaging her on Facebook and calling her from a burner phone--only to disappear once again. Although his psychoanalyst would discourage it, Doll takes the case, desperate to see Ines again. But as the investigation deepens, there are questions he can't shake. What's led the flighty Ines to reappear? Is Mary only relaying half the truth? And who is Mary's strange and mysterious husband? In this wholly original follow-up to A Man Named Doll, Happy travels through L.A., Washington, Oregon and back again--a journey that gets wilder and woolier with each turn. An irreverent and inventive mystery, The Wheel of Doll is not to be missed.

タイトル: The City and Its Uncertain Walls著者: Haruki Murakami出版社: Vintage出版日: 2025年09月09日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A GLOBE AND MAIL BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR - A REAL SIMPLE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR - NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the author of Norwegian Wood and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World comes a love story, a quest, an ode to books and to the libraries that house them, and a parable for our peculiar times. "Haruki Murakami invented 21st-century fiction." --The New York Times - "More than any author since Kafka, Murakami appreciates the genuine strangeness of our real world." --San Francisco Chronicle - "Murakami is masterful." --Los Angeles Times We begin with a nameless young couple: a boy and a girl, teenagers in love. One day, she disappears . . . and her absence haunts him for the rest of his life. Thus begins a search for this lost love that takes the man into middle age and on a journey between the real world and an other world - a mysterious, perhaps imaginary, walled town where unicorns roam, where a Gatekeeper determines who can enter and who must remain behind, and where shadows become untethered from their selves. Listening to his own dreams and premonitions, the man leaves his life in Tokyo behind and ventures to a small mountain town, where he becomes the head librarian, only to learn the mysterious circumstances surrounding the gentleman who had the job before him. As the seasons pass and the man grows more uncertain about the porous boundaries between these two worlds, he meets a strange young boy who helps him to see what he's been missing all along. The City and Its Uncertain Walls is a singular and towering achievement by one of modern literature's most important writers. "Truth is not found in fixed stillness, but in ceaseless change/movement. Isn't this the quintessential core of what stories are all about?" --Haruki Murakami, from the afterword

Part Cree, part Welsh, and wholly determined, she lives with seizures, mental health issues, and a “lightning spirit” that brings visions of her ancestors and a longing for her ancestral connection.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Being a recluse, she reluctantly agrees to team up with her detective father and their human-like robot sidekick to hunt the Copycat Killer ? a serial murderer wearing the masks of history’s most notorious killers. As they follow clues in a labyrinth of diverse characters, they descend deeper into the city’s dark, dystopian underbelly. As fatalities appear to share the same markings, Alaska must confront not only a human monster, but also the crimes may be connected to something far older and darker: the Wetiko, an ancient, distorted entity based in her cultural lore that feeds on severed threads ? within individuals, between people, and between humanity and Mother Earth.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Blending Indigenous spirituality, cyberpunk aesthetics, diversity, climate fiction, and a hard-boiled crime narrative, “Maskwa” (Cree for “bear”) follows Alaska’s journey from bounty hunter to bear medicine woman as she battles both personal-ancestral shadows and literal ones in a quest that spans the collapsing landscape of America and the eternal wisdom of her ancestors.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Maskwa is Indigenous futurism at its most visceral: a vision of what it means to be a courageous rainbow warrior in the twilight of empire, where the old ways and new technologies merge in the fight for survival, healing, justice, and planetary renewal.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Indigenous futurism, climate fiction, cyberpunk, and heart-pounding rebellion.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

タイトル: Orange Pulp: Stories of Mayhem, Murder, and Mystery著者: Maurice J O'Sullivan出版社: University Press of Florida出版日: 2000年11月07日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。"Orange Pulp is a stylish, engaging collection that belongs on everybody's night stand. Each story sizzles and pops with Florida's raunchy, intoxicating heat. This is great fun."--Carl Hiaasen"Ah, Florida's growing cash crop--scumbags in paradise. With Orange Pulp, Glassman and O'Sullivan again make the case that the Sunshine State need not look to L.A., or even past the azaleas, for the next noir fix. The 'lost' Willeford piece alone is worth the price of admission."--Tim Dorsey, author of Florida Roadkill and Hammerhead Ranch Motel"It's about time someone gathered a full collection of the writing about the dark side of the Sunshine State."-- George H. Meyer, author of Kill the Landlord"This collection brings together for the first time a good sample of the many stories that have made Florida such a natural, popular setting for mysteries. The editors have made available rather inaccessible stories and novels that will entertain mystery lovers for quite a while."-- Kevin McCarthy, University of FloridaOrange Pulp is an anthology of crime, of heroes and villains, and it celebrates the murder mystery. The writers--creators of the genre sometimes called "American noir"--including John D. MacDonald and Charles Willeford, helped Florida become a serious contender for the title of crime fiction capital of America. Even the most devoted aficionados of the genre have rarely encountered the kind of nonstop action concocted by the reclusive founder of the American hard-boiled mystery, Carroll John Daly; the comic elegance of Jonathan Latimer; or the eclectic world of Mike Shayne in Brett Halliday's classic series.Orange Pulp also includes Mary Roberts Rinehart's only Florida story, Edwin Granberry's brilliantly realized account of an execution, and a tribute to the ecological concerns of John D. MacDonald, whose work transformed the Florida pulps into a true art. The editors begin with a comprehensive survey of Florida crime fiction and provide generous introductions to each individual author. The book includes two special bonuses: the complete text of The Hated One by Don Tracy, a riveting novel of murder, race, and culture that has been out of print for decades, and the opening to an unfinished work by Charles Willeford, creator of the classic Hoke Moseley novels such as Miami Blues and Sideswipe.With work by legendary pioneers from the golden age of pulp fiction, this collection reveals a rich and popular--though often overlooked--tradition of mystery writing in the Sunshine State.ContributorsCarroll John DalyEdwin GranberryJonathan LatimerBrett HallidayMary Roberts RinehartJohn D.
