约翰•巴肯(John Buchan)
当过政治家,英国保守党国会议员,律师,出版商,也参过军。他以创作惊险故事而著称,其中以理查德•汉内系列的悬疑小说最为经典。
1915年出版的《三十九级台阶》是他最著名的小说,也是文学史经典的悬疑小说。美国推理作家协会评选的100部经典推理小说中,它排第22位。《卫报》评选的“死前必读的1000本小说”,它也位列其中。
约翰•巴肯是希区柯克最喜欢的作家之一。第一次读到《三十九级台阶》时,希区柯克说:“从我第一次读约翰•巴肯的《三十九级台阶》起,就觉得它一定能被拍成一部伟大的电影。”1935年,希区柯克将其改编成电影,由奥斯卡影帝罗伯特•多纳特主演。这部电影成了影史上最经典的悬疑片之一。

Famous as the basis for several films, including the brilliant 1935 version directed by Alfred Hitchcock, The Thirty-Nine Steps is a classic of early twentieth-century popular literature. Richard Hannay has just returned to England after years in South Africa and is thoroughly bored with his life in London. But then a murder is committed in his flat, just days after a chance encounter with an American who had told him about an assassination plot that could have dire international consequences. An obvious suspect for the police and an easy target for the killers, Hannay goes on the run in his native Scotland where he will need all his courage and ingenuity to stay one step ahead of his pursuers.
