Beschreibung

In 'The Holladay Case: A Tale,' Burton Egbert Stevenson crafts a poignant narrative that weaves elements of mystery and legal intricacies into a tapestry reflective of the genre's classic elements. Embedded within the turn-of-the-century American landscape, the book employs a literary style that balances detail-oriented storytelling with the fast-paced rhythm often associated with detective fiction of the era. Stevenson's work harkens back to the formative years of crime storytelling, embodying the spirit of deduction and the meticulous piecing-together of clues that epitomize the genre. As a historical artifact republished by DigiCat Publishing, the novel not only offers a suspenseful plot but also provides readers with a lens into the socio-cultural atmosphere of the period it represents.
Burton Egbert Stevenson, an American author, librarian, and anthologist, brings to 'The Holladay Case: A Tale' a deep understanding of narrative construction and a practiced hand in character development. His career, notably punctuated by his role as a librarian, possibly contributed to his methodical approach to unraveling the novel's mystery, as his exposure to a breadth of literature would have undoubtedly influenced his own writing. The synthesis of Stevenson's literary experience and observations of early 20th-century American life bestows upon the novel a certain authenticity and relatability that transcends time.
For connoisseurs of classic detective stories and those with an appreciation for early American fiction, 'The Holladay Case: A Tale' is a commendable addition to one's literary collection. Stevenson offers an engaging escape into a bygone era where the suspense and allure of the unseen bind pages together. Readers are recommended to delve into this reprinted edition with the respect and vigor fitting for a piece of world literature that so richly demonstrates the enduring appeal of the whodunit narrative.

    A century after it first appeared, Crime and Punishment remains one of the most gripping psychological thrillers. A poverty-striken young man, seeing his family making sacrifices for him, is faced with an opportunity to solve his financial problems with one simple but horrifying act: the murder of a pawnbroker. She is, he feels, just a parasite on society. But does the end justify the means? Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikov makes his decision and then has to live with it. Dostoyevsky, in masterly fashion, contrasts the comedy and tragedy of life in St Petersburg with the anguish and turmoil of Raskolnikov’s inner life.
