Robert Hichens Libri

Robert S. Hichens (1864-1950), amico di Oscar Wilde (di cui fece la parodia in un romanzo) e di Somerset Maugham, è l'autore, oggi dimenticato, di tre romanzi (Il giardino di Allah, Il caso Paradine e Bella donna) di gran voga ai loro tempi, e di uno splendido racconto nero, Come scoprì l'amore il professor Guildea, pubblicato da questa casa editrice nella collana «Il divano». Da Il giardino di Allah fu tratto un film. E Hitchcock trasformò, nel 1948, Il caso Paradine in uno dei più celebri film giudiziari (con Gregory Peck e Alida Valli).
