Notă biografică
ISRAEL ZANGWILL (1864-1926), born in London to Jewish Eastern European immigrants, became widely known as a journalist, dramatist, and activist and is recognized for coining the term "melting pot" after the production of his play, The Melting Pot (1908). His first novel The Children of the Ghetto (1892) earned him the title of the "Dickens of the Ghetto" and launched his literary career.
Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
“It seems clear that the deceased did not commit suicide. It seems equally clear that the deceased was not murdered…”
Bow is a working-class district in the East End of London. It’s a cold December morning, and a London pea-souper swirls around the dark streets. At 11 Grover Street, a rooming house, Mrs. Drabdump the landlady is unconcerned and goes “about her work quite as cheerlessly as usual”. Then she trudges upstairs to wake one of the lodgers – Arthur Constant is an idealist, and a campaigner for workers’ rights. Not getting a response she tries again but the door is firmly locked from within. She summons her neighbour, the well-known retired detective George Grodman who batters down the door, only to be confronted with a corpse… and the first ever locked door mystery.
