Eve

Mehr zum Buch

Clive Thurston is a fortunate man; he has passed off an unpublished play by a deceased writer as his own, successfully staged it on Broadway, and quickly gained fame. Riding the wave of success, he has written three novels, perhaps trivial, but all bestsellers, and Hollywood has embraced him. Confident and pursued by women, Clive finds love with a young screenwriter who understands and supports him. However, then comes Eva, mysterious, wild, and elusive. For Clive, this marks the beginning of a difficult game, the rules of which he does not know, and in which he stakes everything. Eva is more than just a hundred-dollar prostitute. From a master of the thriller genre, this novel presents a memorable portrait of a 'dark lady' in a tense, ironic, and bitter narrative, which was adapted into a film in 1962 by Joseph Losey, featuring Jeanne Moreau.
