Sobre aquest llibre

In "The Green Rust," Edgar Wallace delivers a masterclass in early 20th-century thrillers, intricately weaving themes of greed, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of power. This gripping narrative blends elements of mystery and adventure, all characterized by Wallace's distinctive prose style, which deftly balances suspense and vivid characterization. Set against a backdrop of pre-WWI geopolitical tensions, the novel explores the dark underbelly of human ambition as a secret formula, capable of tremendous destruction, becomes the catalyst for conflict among ruthless adversaries.

Sobre l'autor

Edgar Wallace, born on April 1, 1875, in London, was a prolific British writer and journalist. Wallace's literature career is marked with the creation of more than 175 novels, numerous plays, and screenplays. Perhaps best known for the detective thriller 'The Green Rust' (1919), Wallace adeptly weaved themes of espionage, criminal masterminds, and suspense in a post-World War I setting, capturing the imaginations of his readers. His literary style is often characterized by fast-paced narratives, intricate plotting, and a penchant for the sensational, which have delighted mystery and adventure enthusiasts for generations. Furthermore, Wallace made substantial contributions to the popularization of the crime genre, influencing not just his contemporaries, but the course of detective fiction at large. Besides 'The Green Rust', his extensive bibliography includes titles such as 'The Four Just Men' (1905), a novel that established his reputation, and 'King Kong' (1933), which was published shortly after his death and became a classic in both literature and film. Wallace's enduring legacy is evidenced by his numerous works that continue to be read and adapted, testifying to his skill in crafting enduring popular fiction. Wallace passed away on February 10, 1932, leaving behind a legacy as one of England's most entertaining and prolific writers.
