Description: Journey Into Fear – 1968 – Eric Ambler – Hardcover Condition: Book – Very Good Title: Journey Into Fear Author: Eric Ambler Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf, New York Copyright Date: 1940, renewed 1968 Binding: Hardcover Book Condition: Very Good Pages: 184 Dimensions: 8½” x 5½” x ¾” Language – English Journey into Fear is a 1940 spy thriller novel by Eric Ambler. Film adaptations were released in 1943 and 1975. As common in Ambler's books, the protagonist is not a professional spy, and is clearly out of his depth. Indeed, the chief Nazi treats him with open contempt, which for much of the book seems amply justified. Yet ultimately the German professional pays dearly for underestimating this amateur — another plot element which was to be repeated in later Ambler books. The book came to be regarded as a classic among spy thrillers, setting out what became some of the genre's basic conventions and immensely influencing later works including the James Bond series. Eric Clifford Ambler (28 June 1909 – 22 October 1998) was an English author of thrillers, in particular spy novels, who introduced a new realism to the genre. Also working as a screenwriter, Ambler used the pseudonym Eliot Reed for books cowritten with Charles Rodda. Shipping by media mail.
