Paperback. Etat : Used. Welcome to the world of *Again The Ringer*, a title that promises to leave you questioning not only the plot but also your life choices. Authored by the illustrious Edgar Wallace, a man whose works once filled newspapers while making readers ponder existential mysteries, this 1962 creation from Great Pan beckons with an air of intrigue that only a book from a bygone era can muster. Ever wondered what the world was like before smartphones made us all forget how to read? Fear no more, for this tome not only serves as a literary excursion but as an archaeological find that might just contain the secrets of what we once thought was ?modern? storytelling. Prepare yourself for a delightful jaunt through the mind of Wallace, whose name alone might invoke a sense of nostalgia or perhaps bewilderment. Known for his riveting crime and detective narratives, you can only hope this isn?t just another convoluted caper with a title like *Again The Ringer*. Is this a sequel? A remake of a previous work? Or merely a case of Wallace losing the plot entirely? The truth is in the pages, or perhaps it?s hidden behind a stubbornly stuck cover that?s lost its will to open, much like the book?s previous owner. As you crack open this volume with anticipatory glee, you may find yourself contemplating the finer points of a well-structured sentence, or you might lose track entirely amid the era?s peculiar vernacular. Wallace was notorious for his twists and turns, so don?t be surprised if you suddenly find a character who inexplicably is revealed to be a long-lost cousin of another character you?ve never met. One can only admire the audacity of an author who crafted narratives that often left readers feeling as if they had just been on a rollercoaster of confusion. Let?s not ignore the essence of what makes a book like *Again The Ringer* a true treasure in the realm of second-hand literature. It is not just the potential storyline that draws you in; it?s the musty smell of pages bent by time, the yellowing edges that speak of neglected reading corners, and the remnants of a bygone book club?s snack crumbs lodged between chapters. This book has evidently been on its own journey, possibly involving a coffee shop napkin note or a distracted reader?s musings splattered on its pages. Your experience with *Again The Ringer* will likely raise several questions, like: What does ?the ringer? refer to? Is it a telephone? A boxing match? Or perhaps a surprise twist at the end involving misguided assumptions about a doorbell? The answers lie within, taunting you like a cat with a half-caught mouse, leaving you torn between revelation and frustration. To read it is to engage in a delightful game of literary charades. Condition: Used, which can only mean one thing: it has been touched by human hands, perhaps with the ink stains of an overzealous previous owner or the all-too-common coffee ring stain that says, ?I meant to finish this, I promise.? The cover may show signs of wear, but much like your favourite old coat, it carries the charm of stories untold and insights that have yet to be unearthed. Treasure the dog-eared pages and the odd margin note that might just be the wisdom of a reader who was once as puzzled as you are now. In a world where everything is neatly packaged and presented, a book like this reminds us that literature can be messy, chaotic, and utterly delightful. If you?re ready to embrace a narrative that defies the conventions of modern pacing and instead opts for a leisurely stroll through plot twists and unexpected revelations, then this book is your ticket. So grab your reading chair, make yourself a cuppa, and settle in for a journey fraught with delightful absurdity. Don?t forget to check out Crappy Old Books for more whimsical literary oddities like this gem, or, should I say, this perplexing relic. Whether it becomes your new obsession or merely a conversation starter at the next gathering, *Again The Ringer* promises to entertain in ways you never anticipated.

Taschenbuch. Kartoniert. Etat : Gut. Ungekürzte Ausgabe. 14. Auflage. 180 (12) Seiten. 18 x 12 cm. Guter Zustand. - Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace (* 1. April 1875 in Greenwich, London; 10. Februar 1932 in Hollywood, Kalifornien), war ein englischer Schriftsteller, Drehbuchautor, Regisseur, Journalist und Dramatiker. Wallace gehört zu den erfolgreichsten englischsprachigen Kriminalschriftstellern. Leben und Werk: Wallace wurde unter dem Namen Richard Horatio Edgar als unehelicher Sohn eines Schauspielerpaares geboren und unmittelbar nach seiner Geburt von einem Londoner Fischhändler adoptiert. Er wuchs in ärmlichen Verhältnissen auf und hatte keine abgeschlossene Schulausbildung. Dennoch arbeitete er sich im Burenkrieg bis zum Kriegsberichterstatter in Südafrika hoch. Nach seiner Rückkehr nach London arbeitete er als Journalist und Sonderberichterstatter. Die Romane von Edgar Wallace wurden in vierundvierzig Sprachen übersetzt. 1905 erschien im Eigenverlag sein erster Kriminalroman Die vier Gerechten, der zwar ein Publikumserfolg war, aber für Wallace ein finanzielles Desaster bedeutete. Er hatte jedem, der die Lösung des Buches erraten würde, einen Preis in Höhe von 500 Pfund versprochen, für damalige Zeiten eine ungeheure Summe. Zu viele Menschen errieten das Ende des Romans, und er war damit finanziell am Ende. Es war nur dem Eingreifen von Lord Harmworth von der Daily Mail zu verdanken, dass Edgar Wallace diese Pleite überstand. Bekannt wurde er vor allem durch seine journalistische Arbeit und seine Afrikaromane, deren erster 1911 unter dem Titel Sanders vom Strom erschien. Wallaces berühmtester Krimi war Der Hexer, der als Theaterstück am 1. Mai 1926 uraufgeführt wurde und ein riesiger Erfolg war. In Deutschland fand die Uraufführung 1927 am Deutschen Theater in Berlin unter der Regie von Max Reinhardt statt. Für die erste Verfilmung seines Romans The Squeaker (dt. Der Zinker, 1930) schrieb er nicht nur das Drehbuch, sondern führte auch selbst Regie. Wallace litt erheblich unter dem Erfolgsdruck. Er wurde stark übergewichtig und erkrankte an Diabetes, der nicht behandelt wurde. Auf einer Amerika-Reise starb er im Alter von 57 Jahren an den Folgen einer Lungenentzündung. Wallace verfasste auch zahlreiche Kurzgeschichten, Essays, Gedichte, Theaterstücke sowie Drehbücher. Unter anderem war er Drehbuchautor des Klassikers King Kong und die weiße Frau mit Fay Wray (er verstarb noch vor dessen Uraufführung). Als sein Sarg von den USA nach England überführt wurde, wurde im Hafen von Southampton Halbmast geflaggt, und in Londons legendärer Zeitungstraße - der Fleet Street - läuteten die Glocken. Wallace liegt in Little Marlow, England begraben. In der Nähe der Fleet Street erinnert am Ludgate Circus eine Gedenktafel an Edgar Wallace mit dem Text: Er lernte Reichtum und Armut kennen - er verkehrte mit Königen und doch blieb er sich selbst treu. Seine Talente widmete er der Literatur, doch sein Herz gehörte der Fleet Street. Sein Sohn Bryan Edgar Wallace und seine Tochter Penelope Wallace waren ebenfalls Kriminalschriftsteller. Wallace hatte einen sehr exzessiven Lebensstil, seine Spielsucht brachte ihm hohe Schulden ein. Doch konnten seine Erben die Schulden durch die Tantiemen seiner Werke innerhalb eines Jahres ausgleichen. Noch heute belaufen sich die Tantiemen auf ca. 1 Million Euro im Jahr. Nach dem 1959 gedrehten deutschen Spielfilm Der Frosch mit der Maske gab es in den 1960er- und 1970er-Jahren einen regelrechten Edgar-Wallace-Boom in Deutschland mit 38 Wallace-Verfilmungen. Viele dieser Filme wurden mit dem Spruch Hallo, hier spricht Edgar Wallace! eingeleitet. In den Filmen stellte Klaus Kinski oft den Verbrecher oder einen Verdächtigen dar. Zu weiteren Stammschauspielern der deutschen Serie gehörten auch Eddi Arent, Joachim Fuchsberger, Siegfried Schürenberg und Heinz Drache. Auch in Großbritannien entstanden in dieser Zeit viele Romanverfilmungen, die jedoch in Deutschland kaum bekannt sind. Das Archiv des deutschen Kriminalfilms stiftet seit 1999 den Edgar-Wallace-Preis für besondere Verdienste um den Kriminalfilm (nicht zu verwechseln mit dem englischen Edgar für den besten Krimi des Jahres; nicht nach Wallace, sondern nach Edgar Allan Poe benannt). .
