O ovoj e-knjizi
"The Power-House" is a spy novel written by John Buchan in 1913. It is set in London, and tells the story of a lawyer and MP who discovers an incredible plot aimed at destroying the foundations of Western democracies through an anarchist organisation called The Power-House. “The power-house” was first serialised in Blackwood’s magazine and then was released as a book in 1916. Preceding the famous The Thirty-Nine steps, little known, The Power-House is a fascinating spy novel. Filled with considerations about civilization and chaos, Nietzschean references, predictions about the future, Buchan’s “The Power-House” is political philosophy wrapped into a thriller inside conspiracy theory. A must-read, if only for the first encounter between the hero & narrator and the head of the Power-House. Discover The Power-House with an original preface and biography in this new edition by Les Éditions de Londres.
O autoru
John Buchan est né en 1875 en Écosse. Après des études de droit à Oxford, il mène de front carrière politique et écriture. Il est successivement directeur de l’information dans le cabinet de Lloyd George pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, puis gouverneur général du Canada en 1935. Tour à tour romancier, journaliste, biographe, historien, il a laissé derrière lui une 1⁄2uvre imposante. Ce sont ses romans d’aventure qui l’ont rendu célèbre. Il crée le personnage de Richard Hannay, le héros des Trente-Neuf marches, modèle de l’espion moderne.
