Download or read book The Books of Bart written by Edgar Wallace and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2022-03-02 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘The Books of Bart’ is an interesting entry in Wallace’s body of work as it is not a thriller or a mystery, it is in fact surprisingly up front about itself. The story centres on several unapologetically terrible people, who attack each other not with weapons but their words. The whole plot is one large double cross, littered with smoke and mirrors and betrayal at every corner. It does maintain many features typical of Wallace’s work however such as it’s fantastic cast of characters which power the story to great heights and his brilliant world building. For anyone that loved ‘Knives Out’ this book is for you. Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was an English writer, poet and journalist. He was such a prolific writer that his publisher claimed his work could account for a quarter of all books sold in England. He wrote countless books, screenplays, poems and historical non-fiction, spawning over one hundred and sixty films based on his work. He unfortunately passed away suddenly before he could see his most famous creation ‘King Kong’ come to life. It has been adapted several times over the years, notably by Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame, and more recently in ‘Godzilla vs Kong’ starring Millie Bobby Brown.

Download or read book Edgar Wallace written by Neil Clark and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2014-10-27 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'It is impossible not to be thrilled by Edgar Wallace.' So said the blurbs of Wallace's own books. Indeed, he was a prolific author of over 170 books, translated into more than thirty languages. More films were made from his books than any other twentieth-century writer, and in the 1920s a quarter of all books read in England were written by him. His success is written in black and white, but his life got off to an inauspicious start. Edgar Wallace, the illegitimate son of a travelling actress, rose from poverty in Victorian England to become the most popular author in the world and a global celebrity of his age. Famous for his thrillers, with their fantastic plots, in many ways Wallace did not write his most exciting story: he lived it, and here Neil Clark eloquently tells his tale to allow you to live it too.
