Unabridged (100% Original content) Formatted for e-reader Font adjustments & biography included Illustrated About The Thirty-Nine Steps by John BuchanThe Thirty-Nine Steps is an adventure novel by the Scottish author John Buchan. It first appeared as a serial in Blackwood's Magazine in August and September 1915 before being published in book form in October that year by William Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh. It is the first of five novels featuring Richard Hannay, an all-action hero with a stiff upper lip and a miraculous knack for getting himself out of sticky situations. The novel formed the basis for a number of film adaptations, notably: Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 version; a 1959 colour remake; a 1978 version which is perhaps most faithful to the novel; and a 2008 version for British television.
The resourceful victim of a manhunt, he is pursued by both the police and the ruthless conspirators. John Buchan wrote The Thirty-Nine Steps while he was seriously ill at the beginning of the First World War.
Hanney, an expatriated Scot, returns from a long stay in South Africa to his flat in London.
"Adapted by Patrick Barlow from the novel by John Buchan; from the movie of Alfred Hitchcock licensed by ITV Global Entertainment Limited; and an original concept by Nobby Dimon and Simon Corble."
Featuring an appendix of discussion questions, the Diversion Classics edition is ideal for use in book groups and classrooms.
In the past one hundred years the classic thriller has never been out of print and has inspired numerous adaptations for film, television, radio and stage, beginning with the celebrated version by Alfred Hitchcock.
