约翰•巴肯(John Buchan)
当过政治家,英国保守党国会议员,律师,出版商,也参过军。他以创作惊险故事而著称,其中以理查德•汉内系列的悬疑小说最为经典。
1915年出版的《三十九级台阶》是他最著名的小说,也是文学史经典的悬疑小说。美国推理作家协会评选的100部经典推理小说中,它排第22位。《卫报》评选的“死前必读的1000本小说”,它也位列其中。
约翰•巴肯是希区柯克最喜欢的作家之一。第一次读到《三十九级台阶》时,希区柯克说:“从我第一次读约翰•巴肯的《三十九级台阶》起,就觉得它一定能被拍成一部伟大的电影。”1935年,希区柯克将其改编成电影,由奥斯卡影帝罗伯特•多纳特主演。这部电影成了影史上最经典的悬疑片之一。
John Buchan wrote The Thirty-Nine Steps while he was seriously ill at the beginning of the First World War. In it he introduces his most famous hero, Richard Hannay, who, despite claiming to be an 'ordinary fellow', is caught up in the dramatic race against a plot to devastate the British war effort. Hannay is hunted across the Scottish moors by police and spy-ring alike, and must outwit his intelligent and pitiless enemy in the corridors of Whitehall and, finally, at the site of the mysterious thirty-nine steps. The best-known of Buchan's thrillers, The Thirty-Nine Steps has been continuously in print since first publication and has been filmed three times, most notably by Alfred Hitchcock in 1935. In this, the only critical edition, Christopher Harvie's introduction interweaves the writing of the tale with the equally fascinating story of how John Buchan, publisher and lawyer, came in from the cold and, via The Thirty-Nine Steps, ended the war as spy-master and propaganda chief.

电影是很小的时候看的,印象最深刻的就是最后在大钟表针上的搏斗,看了小说才知道那都是导演改编的。这个版本的翻译整体还可以,但是有些明显的错误,比如出现了“电动自行车”和“导弹”,这就有点穿越了,对照英文版才发现分明是摩托车和鱼雷。文中还有几处错别字,应该是编...
评分文Shirleysays 如果你对约翰.巴肯这位作家不太熟悉的话,那么我们就得提一句希区柯克的满意之作《39级台阶》,这样的话,好像就不难引起你的注意了。影片改编自巴肯的同名小说,而且希区柯克本也毫不讳忌地说约翰.巴肯是他本人最喜欢的作家之一。从1935年希区柯克拍摄本片的...
评分文本叙述与电影手法 ——《39级台阶》 希区柯克是一个鬼才导演,他的奇思妙想为电影界的惊悚悬疑影片开辟了先河,成为后代众多导演模仿追捧的对象。安德烈•巴赞曾经声称导演才是一部电影价值的主要源泉。的确如此,希区柯克电...
评分说到《39级台阶》,大家首先想到的都是电影,而大多数内地观众更是最先想到1978年的美国版本,该版本经过上译的经典配音,为观众留下了极为深刻的印象,童自荣的华丽音色和电影本身的紧张情节都曾让人痴迷,即使现在看也不过时。而电影结尾的大笨钟桥段更是成为了被不断致敬的...
