WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY STELLA RIMINGTON

'Richard Hannay is a hero for all times' Observer

May 1914. Britain is on the eve of war with Germany. Richard Hannay is living a quiet life in London, but after a chance encounter with a mysterious stranger he stumbles into a hair-raising adventure - a desperate hunt across the country and against the clock, pursued by the police and a cunning, ruthless enemy. Hannay's life and the security of Britain are in grave peril, and everything rests on the solution to a baffling enigma: what are the thirty-nine steps?

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Adventurer Richard Hannay, who claims to be an "ordinary fellow" has just returned from South Africa and is thoroughly bored with his London life. He was warned of an assassination plot that could bring Britain to the brink of war. Just days after, he finds his new friend murdered - in his home. An obvious suspect for the police and an easy target for the killers, Hannay goes on the run to Scotland, his homeland, where he must use all of his wits to stay one step ahead of the game - and warn the government before it is too late.
