Un nui pono no nā mea aloha i kēia lā noir ke ʻano hua nui. ʻO Hammett ka paionia i ka mea i hoʻomaka ma ke ʻano he subgenre hoʻi i ka makahiki 30s hou. He kūleʻa akamai kēia hōʻuluʻulu manaʻo no nā mea aloha i haʻi ʻia o kēia ʻano kūʻai aku maikaʻi loa e ʻike i ke kumu i kūleʻa ʻole i kāna hoʻomaka ʻana.
Kau i kāu ʻElima mau puke liʻiliʻi i moe ʻole ʻia no Dashiell Hammett. Aia kekahi poʻe e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana no kāna haʻalele ʻana i ka hana no ka hōʻole ʻia ʻana o kahi kaiāulu i hoʻomākaukau ʻole ʻole ʻia no ka explic saksi o ka macabre a me ka decadent. Hoʻopiha ʻia nā hanana me nā hana kolohe ʻē aʻe e pili ana i nā ʻano sordid a hoʻohaʻahaʻa loa o kahi kaiāulu e manaʻo ana i kahi sublimation o kāna ʻoiaʻiʻo a ʻaʻole ia he kiʻi mālie o ka honua i lalo o kekahi kūlanakauhale, me kāna mau mea palaho.
ʻOiai, ʻo ka moekolohe ma ke ʻano he mea kōkua i ka hoʻonohonoho hewa i hoʻonani i ka moʻolelo, no laila ua haʻalele nā luna hoʻoponopono a me ka lehulehu i kēia ʻano heluhelu i nā wahi liʻiliʻi a me nā makasina kūikawā i kūʻai ʻia ma nā kiʻiona i kā lākou mau huki huna loa. ʻOiai ʻo kēia, ua hōʻea ka mana o kāna mau hana i nā helu he nui, a ua lako lākou i nā paʻi, nā hoʻopuka hou a me nā moʻo.
Eia nō naʻe, ua kupu mai ka hoʻoilina moʻokalaleo nui a, ma mua o ka hopena o ka XNUMX kenekulia, ua pau nā hana a Hammett a me nā poʻe like e like me ia i kahi wahi kūpono i ka honua o ka ʻeleʻele keʻokeʻo.
ʻO ke kuhi nā prototypes āpau, nā hoʻokokoke ʻana, nā sketches a me nā hoʻolālā o ka mea hana hewa i kēia manawa inu mai kēia mea kākau nui. No laila he mea maikaʻi wale nō e paʻi i kēia leo.
ʻO ka hoʻonohonoho, e like me kaʻu e ʻōlelo ai, komo pū nā puke totem ʻelima o ke ʻano. ʻOia hoʻi: ʻOhiʻohi ʻulaʻula, ʻO ka hōʻino a ka Dain, ka mea hanohano ʻO Falcon Maltese, ʻO ke kī aniani a me El kāne lahilahi.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i kēia manawa Nā puke āpau, ka piha piha o ka Dashiell Hammet nui, ma aneʻi:
1 manaʻo ma "nā puke āpau, Dashiell Hammet"
