De 39 stegen är en roman som kom att bli stilbildande för en helt ny genre äventyrsromanen fylld av spänning och gott humör. Huvudpersonen, Richard Hannay, dras motvilligt in i en kedja av händelser där han hetsas fram över det skottska höglandet jagad av skurkar och poliser. Boken har filmats otaliga gånger, men bäst är nog fortfarande Alfred Hichcocks version från 1935. John Buchan (1875-1940) var en engelsk författare och politiker som skrev en radd historier om sin hjälte Richard Hannay, men den om De 39 stegen är den enda som överlevt och även haft framgång i Sverige. Tomas Löfdahl har översatt boken och är som rutinerad inläsare även den som läser boken.

The Complete Richard Hannay includes the five John Buchan novels that feature the hero: 39 Steps, Greenmantle, Mr Steadfast, Three Hostages, Island of Sheep. Richard Hannay was one of the first modern spy thriller heroes and has shaped the genre. Hannay is strong and silent, combining the Scottish dourness with the English "stiff upper lip". He is tough and shrewd, courageous and resourceful. However, unlike later spy thrillers he has a greater breadth of emotion. He is philosophical and refuses to demonise his enemies, he falls in love, he is dependent upon his friends and he is religious. These books are exciting, with Richard Hannay being chased over moor and glen, they are page turning thrillers.
HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.
