About this deal

Stout, Rex (1916). "The Last Drive". In Davies, Ross E.; Matetsky, Ira Brad (eds.). The 2012 Green Bag Almanac and Reader. Washington, D.C.: Green Bag Press (published 2011). pp.255–312. ISBN 1933658134. Stout, Rex (1935). "On My Bashfulness". The Bedroom Companion. New York: Farrar & Rinehart. p.36. OCLC 320267097. Radio, however, saw four different Wolfe drama series: The Adventures of Nero Wolfe (ABC, 1943-44), The Amazing Nero Wolfe (Mutual Broadcasting System, 1945), The New Adventures of Nero Wolfe (NBC, 1950-51), and Nero Wolfe (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, 1982). The CBC series was widely praised. Of the others, the most notable was NBC’s, starring Sydney Greenstreet as Wolfe. It’s been credited as the series most responsible for popularizing Wolfe on radio, but reputedly Greenstreet tended to overact and insisted that it was the Archies that were at fault, with the result that four different actors played the part over a six-month span.

Why does this relationship, for all its longevity, or any of Archie’s other amours, not result in anything more permanent? Archie has his thoughts on this: “I’m funny about women. I’ve seen dozens of them I wouldn’t mind marrying, but I’ve never been pulled so hard I lost my balance….I guess the trouble is I’m too conscientious. I love to do a good job more than anything else I can think of, and I suppose that’s what shorts the line” ( The League of Frightened Men). Ao longo da história, o leitor sente que este é um caso que envolve a vingança pessoal do detetive, concretizando-a, precisamente pelo trabalho de campo que realiza. With any prolific author—in this case, very prolific—readers are likely to have their own particular favorites, which may not be the same as anyone else’s. Your list is likely to be as good as mine – but here are the ones I recommend. It is always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore. - The New York Times Book Review Translation Convention: The "Serbian" dialogue is represented as English, as Archie explains in the foreword.The odds are overwhelming that when historians look at the bright blue late October of 1975, the only thing they will keep about the twenty-seventh is that it was the day Rex Stout died.”

A Family Affair is a Nero Wolfe detective novel published by the Viking Press in 1975. It is the last Nero Wolfe book written by Rex Stout who died less than six months after the publication of the book. a b c d e f g h i j k l m n Stout, Rex (2000).

Retrieved 2015-03-20. Finally, in 2000, Wolfe and Archie found the right match. A two-hour A&E TV movie of The Golden Spiders starred Maury Chaykin as Wolfe and Timothy Hutton as Archie, and it was popular enough for A&E to make it into a series for two seasons. I remember both men being great in it, and a key reason it was better than anything attempted before is that every episode was based on one of the actual Rex Stout stories, and they emphasized character and dialogue (always the best parts of the Wolfe books) over artificial plots and commercial-break cliffhangers. The episodes just felt like the books. They’re available on DVD from A&E and streamable (like the Conrad/Horsley series) from YouTube.And now I’m going to do something unusual and give you the last lines of the book, because it doesn’t make any difference to the mystery and it’s what made me fall in love with Stout: Serialized as "The Frightened Men" in six issues of The Saturday Evening Post (June 15–July 20, 1935) [1] :9 Anyone Can Die: The book includes the murder of multiple recurring characters, including one who has been a regular in the series since the 1930s, and who is one of the closest people to Wolfe. No lesser provocation would spur Wolfe to travel abroad in search of a murderer. A collection of isolationist, anti-WWII and pro-Nazi statements and votes by sitting Members of Congress [1] :117 Wolfe aficionados know this speculation, but I doubt everybody does, so before you make a belated visit to the online baby registry, here are a few things to take into account.
