Klappentext
The Maltese Falcon is a fast-paced, morally complex detective novel that helped define the hard-boiled genre. It introduced the world to Sam Spade, the quintessential private eye - cool, cynical, and guided by his own personal code of justice.
Hammett's prose is crisp, unsentimental, and cinematic, marked by sharp dialogue and psychological realism. The Maltese Falcon elevated detective fiction from pulp entertainment to serious literature, influencing generations of crime writers - notably Raymond Chandler.
It was adapted into several films, most famously the 1941 version directed by John Huston, starring Humphrey Bogart as Sam Spade - a role that defined Bogart's screen persona and the entire film noir style.
