The Big Sleep; [And], the High Window; [And], the Lady in the Lake; [And], the Long Goodbye; [And], Playback; [And], Farewell My Lovely Paperback - 1977
by Raymond Chandler
About this book
The Big Sleep is a crime novel by Raymond Chandler, the first in his acclaimed series about hardboiled detective Philip Marlowe. The work has been adapted twice into film, once in 1946 starring Humphry Bogart and Lauren Bacall, and again in 1978 starring Robert Mitchum. The story is noted for its complexity and is heavily influenced by classic Greek tragedy, with many characters double-crossing each other and many secrets being exposed throughout the narrative. -
First Edition Identification
