Raymond Chandler's books about Philip Marlowe not only laid the foundations of the genre of "cool" detective, but also became a modern classic in the broadest sense. "Raymond Chandler is the original stylist, and his hero Philip Marlowe is as immortal as Sherlock Holmes," wrote the venerable Anthony Burgess, and the famous poet W. H. Auden said, "Chandler's prose should be read and appreciated not as momentary entertainment, but as a work of art." This volume contains the complete collection of the American master's short form works. The central character in these stories and novels may be called by different names - Ted Carmady or Walter Gage, Johnny Dalmas or John Evans, Mallory or already Philip Marlowe - but from the beginning he represented a new type of detective hero: he is a romantic, sentimental knight, always preserving his individuality and abiding by a code of honor. He doesn't seek adventure - it finds him, and he can rightly declare, "Trouble is my trade..."
