A propos de cet article

First Ed UK, so stated. Very Near Fine in Very Near Fine DJ: Both book and DJ show only minute indications of use. Book shows barely discernible spine lean; the binding remains perfectly secure; text clean. DJ shows only the mildest rubbing; price unclipped; mylar-protected. Overall, very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 214pp. Hardback with DJ. This is the last installment, the fourth, of Alan Furst's first phase. Soon he would be immersed in the shadows and espionage of pre-WWII Europe. These works are, nevertheless, the works of a masterful craftsman. Shadow Trade is a damn fine read. Suspenseful, with splendid charactor development and wit. If this book were to be rewritten w/today's technological advancements, it'd be a best-seller. Alan Furst (born February 20, 1941) is an American author of historical spy novels. Furst has been called "an heir to the tradition of Eric Ambler and Graham Greene," whom he cites along with Joseph Roth and Arthur Koestler as important influences. Most of his novels since 1988 have been set just prior to or during the Second World War and he is noted for his successful evocations of Eastern Europe peoples and places during the period from 1933 to 1944. Writing in the New York Times, the novelist Justin Cartwright says that Furst, who lives in Sag Harbor, Long Island, "has adopted a European sensibility." Awarded a Fulbright teaching fellowship in 1969, Furst moved to Sommières, France, outside of Montpellier, and taught at the University of Montpellier. He later lived for many years in Paris, a city that he calls "the heart of civilisation" which figures significantly in all his novels. In 2011, the Tulsa Library Trust in Tulsa, Oklahoma selected Furst to receive its Helmerich Award, a literary prize given annually to honor a distinguished author's body of work.…
