«Todos los cuentos» is the collection of crime stories by Raymond Chandler, published by RBA in paperback (1100 pages, in Spanish).
The twenty-five stories Chandler published in magazines such as Black Mask, some hard to find, gathered in a single volume. They show the germ of Chandler's noir universe: corrupt cops, informers, blackmailers and femme fatales, with alcohol, gambling and violence, and solitary heroes whose archetype culminates in Philip Marlowe.
Part of RBA's Serie Negra collection, with translation by Fernando C. Corugedo and foreword by Lorenzo Silva.
For readers of crime fiction and classic detective fiction, and for those who want to discover the stories in which Chandler forged his style.
Raymond Thornton Chandler was an American-British novelist and screenwriter. In 1932, at the age of forty-four, Chandler became a detective fiction writer after losing his job as an oil company executive during the Great Depression. His first short story, "Blackmailers Don't Shoot", was published in 1933 in Black Mask, a pulp magazine. His first novel, The Big Sleep, was published in 1939. In addition to his short stories, Chandler published seven novels during his lifetime. All but Playback have been made into motion pictures, some more than once.
