Seine Kriminalerzählungen besitzen eine stilistische und sprachliche Geschmeidigkeit, die es ihm ermöglichten, gekonnt Stimmung und Atmosphäre einzufangen und dabei auch ein Auge für soziale Details zu haben. Mit seinem Wachtmeister Studer schuf er einen Kollegen von Sherlock Holmes, der sich durch eine Schwäche für Außenseiter und viel Mitgefühl auszeichnet. Im vorliegenden Band...

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to...
