Description
The Big Sleep is a hard-boiled crime novel by Raymond Chandler, introducing readers to detective Philip Marlowe. Adapted into film twice, in 1946 and 1978, the story is known for its intricate plot, where characters frequently double-cross each other and secrets are slowly uncovered. At its core, The Big Sleep revolves around a complex web of relationships and motives, with the title serving as a euphemism for death. This phrase reflects the book's exploration of mortality and the consequences of one's actions. With 178 pages in hardcover, this edition offers a concise introduction to Chandler's iconic detective series.
