  • "Philipp Marlowe est chargé par le vieux général Sternwood de retrouver d'hypothétiques photographies compromettant sa fille Carmen, droguée notoire. Son enquête le mène dans la maison du fournisseur de Carmen, qu'il trouve mort au côté de celle-ci. Marlowe comprend rapidement que Vivian, sa soeur, la protège. Accompagné du film de H. Hawks, sur un scénario de W. Faulkner. Sous coffret."
  • "Primera novela en la que hace su aparición el célebre detective Philip Marlowe, El sueño eterno es una de las mejores y más representativas novelas del género policiaco. Llevada al cine en su día por Humphrey Bogart y Lauren Bacall en los papeles principales, es un relato repleto de nervio y de ingeniosos diálogos en el que Marlowe, irónico, mordaz y desengañado, se enfrenta con la resolución de un caso de chantaje que lo llevará a asomarse a las alcantarillas de una sociedad en apariencia llena de esplendor."

"I was neat, clean, shaved and sober, and I didn't care who knew it. I was everything the well-dressed private detective ought to be. I was calling on four million dollars". (Los Angeles PI). Philip Marlowe is hired by wheelchair-bound General Sternwood to discover who is indulging in some petty blackmail. A weary, old man, Sternwood just wants the problem to go away. But Marlowe finds he has his work cut out just keeping Sternwood's wild, devil-may-care daughters out of trouble as they prowl LA's dirtiest and darkest streets. And pretty soon, he's up to his neck in hoodlums and corpses..."

  • ""His thin, claw-like hands were folded loosely on the rug, purple-nailed. A few locks of dry white hair clung to his scalp, like wild flowers fighting for life on a bare rock." Published in 1939, when Raymond Chandler was 50, this is the first of the Philip Marlowe novels. Its bursts of sex, violence, and explosively direct prose changed detective fiction forever. "She was trouble. She was tall and rangy and strong-looking. Her hair was black and wiry and parted in the middle. She had a good mouth and a good chin. There was a sulky droop to her lips and the lower lip was full.""

Des gangsters chevronnés s'en mêlent aussi, mais le sympathique Marlowe fonce dans le tas et ne va pas tarder à remettre un peu d'ordre dans cette maison de fous. Il était grand temps."
