Rex Stout (1886–1975)
Autore di La traccia del serpente
Sull'Autore
Author Rex Stout was born on December 1, 1886. A child prodigy with a gift for mathematics, Stout drifted as he became an adult, holding odd jobs in many places---cook, cabinetmaker, bellhop, hotel manager, salesman, bookkeeper, and even a guide in a pueblo. But his true talent lay in storytelling; mostra altro he sold his first story, about William Howard Taft, in 1912. His most famous creation is Nero Wolfe, a 286-pound detective genius who, with sidekick Archie Goodwin, can often solve a case without leaving his room. It is the way in which the puzzle is solved that intrigues Nero Wolfe, who is much like Sherlock Holmes in his ability to use deductive reasoning. More than 60 million copies (in 24 languages) of Stout's books have been sold. Stout writes quickly, drawing upon a lifetime of impressions. He neither uses an outline nor revises; he lets his characters take over as the story develops. The classy, erudite Nero Wolfe presents for readers an alternative to the hard-boiled branch of the genre. He died on October 27, 1975 (Bowker Author Biography) mostra meno

- Accomodatevi - disse Wolfe. - Mi vorrete scusare, spero. Per ragioni di statica non mi alzo che in casi di urgenza. (76)
… ma da troppo tempo Wolfe m’aveva insegnato che l’angolo dove non arriva la luce e’ proprio quello dove e’ rotolato il soldino. (126)
Calma, signorina Maffei - fece Wolfe, agitando un dito verso di lei. - Temo non sia ancora giunto il momento della vostra vendetta. Non dimenticate che in seno alla nostra societa’ le persone civili e prudenti commettono i loro delitti soltanto sotto il riparo di complicate regole che permettono loro di sfuggire a ogni responsabilita’.
