"Great American Mystery Stories of the Twentieth Century presents an impressive array of writers. These literary sleuths - American writers who hail from all over the United States and even abroad - offer stories that reflect the varied experiences of a vast and culturally diverse country. The authors in this collection have garnered innumerable honors, from myriad awards conferred by their own mystery-writing colleagues to the Nobel Prize in Literature; they all share the writer's greatest reward, however, the broad readership and popular acclaim that can only come from creating superb, entertaining tales. Some of these mystery masters have left an indelible mark on the reading public by creating characters that have entered the national consciousness. The Saint, Lew Archer, Travis McGee, Uncle Abner - these names are real to mystery aficionados who know them well and have learned much about life from them. Other writers have given birth to characters who live only in one brief tale, making readers regret that they won't meet them again. Although the modern American mystery story has only recently gained respectability as the subject of academic study, the genre is an integral part of this country's literature. In fact, it stands at the very center of a markedly American literary offering, the short story. Edgar Allan Poe, the creator of the short story form, based the world's first mystery tale on the crime story, a style of fiction that originally appeared in the beginning of the nineteenth century. He enhanced the elements in these negligible stories with such genius that he lifted his own tales to the level of art. Poe's "The Murder in the Rue Morgue," first published in 1841, has been called by one critic "the single most important story in the history of the genre." Subsequent literary detectives may have occasionally felt daunted by following the mystery story's inimitable forefather; still, they have made their own distinctive contributions to this uniquely American literary form. Among them, the twenty-three writers in this anthology of American mystery masterpieces have written hundreds of memorable stories. Choosing the writers - not to mention the stories - from a national treasure of literary excellence was indeed difficult. The sheer number of outstanding American mystery stories offers endless hours of reading pleasure. To this day, superlative writers apply their varied skills to the genre first explored by Edgar Allan Poe. Readers new to this literary terrain will enjoy finding their way to some of mystery's hidden corners - as well as its landmarks. - The Editors" - from the Preliminary Page. Ward, John (panel art and color frontispiece) (illustratore).

Aggiungi al carrelloNo Binding. Condizione: Collectible-Fine. Collection of five letters (1 autograph letter) signed, which deal with Arthur A. McLean (d. 1918), a successful businessman from Newburgh, New York. He owned a liquor and grocery business and was a leader in the New York state Democratic Party, serving as a delegate to the National Conv…entions in 1896, 1912 and 1916. And also filled the post of party treasurer temporarly. In 1913 McLean was indicted for accepting questionable campaign contributions. During 1914 he pleaded guilty to part of the charges and was given a suspended sentence. His clemency was supported by the District Attorney and soon-to-be governor Charles Seymour Whitman. With the scandal behind him he went on to serve as the U.S.Consul to the Dominican Republic and Belgium, dying before he could assume the latter post. The letters are from the period 1914 to 1918. The letters are: Typed letter from Charles White, party sergeant at arms for New York, 1914 (signed) asking McLean to forward party information to state headquarters; Autograph letter signed, 1914, from Harlow C. Curtiss (1858-1933), noted lawyer from Buffalo. He expresses "regret" to McLean "that you were subjected to the recent annoyance as to campaign contribution matters in the Whitman investigation affair . "; Typed letter, signed by Joseph Peter Grace, president of W.R. Grace & Co., New York, dated 1916, saying that he wished McLean had stayed longer with the firm and wishes him well; Typed letter from 'Special Inspector for Dominican Customs' writing as to the good job McLean has done in the Dominican Republic, not signed or dated (c.1918); Typed letter from Wilbur J. Carr (1870-1942) 'Director of the Consular Service', U.S.Department of State, dated 1919 expressing sympathy to McLean's brother at the time of McLean's death. Carr served in the State Department for 47 years rising to Assistant Secretary of State. Also included is the envelope of the State Department letter and two copies of notification that Arthur A. McLean has died in transit to Belgium from the Dominican Republic. An interesting group of letters relating to a party official from New York during both good and bad times for him. Signed by Author(s).
