Arthur Hailey Libri
5 aprile 1920 – 24 novembre 2004
Arthur Hailey intreccia magistralmente conflitti umani drammatici con informazioni approfondite sul funzionamento di vari ambienti industriali e commerciali. Ciascuno dei suoi romanzi è ambientato in un contesto diverso, esplorando come questi sistemi influenzano la società e i suoi abitanti. Nonostante la critica che ha etichettato il suo lavoro come formulaico, la sua capacità di creare suspense e narrazioni avvincenti gli ha assicurato un successo globale. L'ampia ricerca di Hailey e il suo deliberato processo di scrittura hanno portato a storie che hanno affascinato milioni di persone e sono state adattate in popolari film e serie televisive.
