這是一部間諜小說。作者本人就當過情報官。
厄斯金•查爾德斯、威廉•勒克、愛德華•奧本海姆等人創(chuàng)立了早期西方間諜小說的浪漫主義冒險模式。二十世紀三、四十年代,埃里克•安布勒 (1909—1998)和格雷厄姆•格林(1904—1991)將這一模式繼續(xù)推進,創(chuàng)立了以現(xiàn)實主義為主要特征的現(xiàn)代間諜小說。與早期間諜小說相比,現(xiàn)代間諜小說沒有那么多"愛國主義"的陳腐氣,而且在作品的主題思想、情節(jié)結構、人物塑造等方面,也注入了更多現(xiàn)實主義活力。

【作者介紹】
Eric Ambler (1909-98) was one of the most fascinating Britishwriters of the late 1930s. His novels retain a remarkable sense ofthe dread and terror that filled Europe as world war broke out.Some were made into films (not least Orson Welles' superb versionof Journey into Fear), all were bestsellers, inventing a new, morerealistic form of spy novel, where the main protagonist is not somuch a hero as a victim, pursued by malevolent Fascist forces ofoverwhelming power. These are paranoid stories, but written at atime when paranoia was disturbingly close to mon sense.
