durée : 00:03:32 - Le Regard culturel - par : François Angelier - Signé Eric Ambler, un des maîtres anglais du récit d'espionnage, "Les Trafiquants d'armes", réédité dans une traduction révisée, est un classique du thriller d'espionnage, parfait exemple des angoisses et des trafics de la Guerre froide.

Las recomendaciones de Fuensanta Marín de hoy pasan por 'La biografía de James Joyce' de Edna O'brien, 'El amante de Lady Chatterley' del escritor británico David Herbert Lawrence y 'la máscara de Dimitrios", una novela de espionaje escrita por Eric Ambler publicada en 1939. En la sección de cuentos ilustrados para niños de 3 a 6 años, Fuensanta Marín nos recomienda 'Quitapenas', 'Desde arriba o desde abajo' y 'Renato Nicanor'. Hoy conocemos el proyecto de Irene Serrano quien asegura que los niños y jóvenes están volviendo a mostrar interés por la lectura. "La novela gráfica está haciendo que los niños de entre 10 y 12 años se enganchen a otras lecturas". Serrano que coordina la biblioteca del CEIS Saavedra Fajardo involucró a los jóvenes en este proyecto a través de un mercadillo solidario y con lo recaudado compraron las primeras colecciones de libros. Colecciones como 'Jardín Secreto', 'Animalotes' 'Los Fubolísimos" o el 'Diario de greg', que enganchan a los jóvenes y les atraen a otras colecciones de aventuras cuando van cumpliendo más años.

Can David Graham, a torpedo engineer vital to the war effort, escape from German spies? Can Falk protect him? Is that supposed to be a Greek accent? Listen to find out!Journey Into Fiasco, episode 120 of This Gun in My Hand, was driven and engineered by Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, archives, and to buy my books, such as Sisyphus, Eat Your Heart Out, available in paperback and ebook from Amazon. What makes torpedoes move faster? This Gun in My Hand!Show Notes:1. This episode was inspired by “Journey Into Fear,” an episode of The US Steel Hour of Mystery starring Lawrence Olivier and broadcast on June 9, 1946, which was adapted from the 1940 novel by Eric Ambler.https://www.oldtimeradiodownloads.com/thriller/the-hour-of-mystery/journey-into-fear-1946-06-092. No, it's not my impression of a Greek accent. The lines from Mithrodopolis in this episode are my impression of the guy from that 1946 broadcast of Journey Into Fear, doing an unidentifiable accent that's all over the place. I actually tried to sound like David Lander's character from On the Air, a 1992 David Lynch tv comedy that only aired 3 episodes in the US.3. “Mon petit chou” was an expression I heard not in high school French class, but from my mother. She had learned it from her father who landed at Normandy three to six days after D-Day. He drove a refrigerated supply truck. I wonder in what context he learned “mon petit chou” from the locals?Credits:The opening and middle transitional music clips were from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), both films in the public domain. Other music comes from “Journey Into Fear,” the June 9, 1946 episode of the public domain radio show Hour of Mystery. Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals.Sound Effect Title: chugging diesel (bus) and rev.MP3License: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/people/CraftyIndividual/sounds/418436/Sound Effect Title: bus coach ext pull up brake air release idle.wavLicense: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/people/kyles/sounds/454420/Sound Effect Title: Bus Closing DoorLicense: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/people/am7/sounds/520753/Sound Effect Title: bustle in the pubLicense: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/people/organicmanpl/sounds/403285/Sound Effect Title: Footsteps Dress Shoes Wood Floor.wavLicense: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/people/allrealsound/sounds/161756/Sound Effect Title: Slam door.MP3License: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/people/SoundsForHim/sounds/395653/Sound Effect Title: S16-06 Light wooden door open & close.wavLicense: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/people/craigsmith/sounds/675878/Sound Effect Title: Shotgun Reload PumpRecorded by RA The Sun GodLicense: Creative Commons Attribution 3.0http://soundbible.com/1959-Shotgun-Reload-Pump.htmlSound Effect Title: 1911 Pistol CockingLicense: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/people/J.Anthracite/sounds/465488/Sound Effect Title: Glock 19 Handgun Pistol Slide Cocking SoundsLicense: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/people/jackmurrayofficial/sounds/393734/Sound Effect Title: AR15 M4 Gun Hardware Magazine Movement SoundsLicense: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/people/jackmurrayofficial/sounds/393732/Sound Effect Title: Gun Cocking Sound.mp3 License: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/s/545958/ Sound Effect Title: Pump Action Shotgun Cycle License: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/s/370344/The image accompanying this episode is a modified detail of a panel from the public domain Greyhound promotional comic book Driving Like a Pro (1958), artist unknown.https://digitalcomicmuseum.com/preview/index.php?did=31501

fWotD Episode 2777: Len Deighton Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 11 December 2024 is Len Deighton.Leonard Cyril Deighton (; born 18 February 1929) is a British author. His publications have included cookery books and works on history, but he is best known for his spy novels.After completing his national service in the Royal Air Force, Deighton attended the Saint Martin's School of Art and the Royal College of Art in London; he graduated from the latter in 1955. He had several jobs before becoming a book and magazine illustrator and designed the cover for the first UK edition of Jack Kerouac's 1957 work On the Road. He also worked for a period in an advertising agency. During an extended holiday in France he wrote his first novel, The IPCRESS File, which was published in 1962 and was a critical and commercial success. He wrote several spy novels featuring the same central character, an unnamed working-class intelligence officer, cynical and tough. Between 1962 and 1966 Deighton was the food correspondent for The Observer and drew cookstrips—black and white graphic recipes with a limited number of words. A selection of these was collected and published in 1965 as Len Deighton's Action Cook Book, the first of five cookery books he wrote. Other topics of non-fiction include military history.Many of Deighton's books have been best sellers and he has been favourably compared both with his contemporary John le Carré and his literary antecedents W. Somerset Maugham, Eric Ambler, Ian Fleming and Graham Greene. Deighton's fictional work is marked by a complex narrative structure, extensive research and an air of verisimilitude.Several of Deighton's works have been adapted for film and radio. Films include The Ipcress File (1965), Funeral in Berlin (1966), Billion Dollar Brain (1967) and Spy Story (1976). In 1988 Granada Television produced the miniseries Game, Set and Match based on his trilogy of the same name, and in 1995 BBC Radio 4 broadcast a real time dramatisation of his 1970 novel Bomber.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:58 UTC on Wednesday, 11 December 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Len Deighton on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Brian.

Eric Ambler (1909-1998) was a distinguished English writer renowned for his gripping spy and thriller novels. Born on June 28, 1909, in London, England, Ambler hailed from a family with a background in entertainment; his father was a music hall comedian, while his mother worked as a dressmaker. His early education took place at University College School in London, and later he pursued engineering studies at London University, although he opted to abandon his academic pursuits to embark on a career in writing. Initially, Ambler found employment as an advertising copywriter, but his passion for storytelling soon led him to the realm of novels. In 1936, he made his literary debut with "The Dark Frontier," marking the beginning of a prolific career. Notable works from the 1930s include "Epitaph for a Spy" and "Cause for Alarm," which firmly established him as a leading figure in the genre of spy and thriller fiction. During World War II, Ambler contributed his talents to the British War Office and the Ministry of Information, leveraging his expertise in propaganda and psychological warfare to aid the war effort. Post-war, he continued his literary journey with acclaimed novels like "Journey into Fear" and "The Schirmer Inheritance," both of which were successfully adapted into films. Ambler's distinctive writing style was characterized by meticulous attention to detail and the creation of multifaceted, realistic characters. His narratives often incorporated elements of political and social commentary, earning praise for their authenticity and relevance. In addition to his novels, Ambler ventured into screenwriting, contributing to notable productions such as the 1953 film "The Cruel Sea" and the iconic 1960s TV series "The Avengers." Throughout his illustrious career, Ambler received numerous accolades, including the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America in 1975 and the prestigious Diamond Dagger Award from the Crime Writers' Association in 1986. Even in his later years, Ambler remained dedicated to his craft, producing compelling novels well into his 80s. His final work, "The Care of Time," was published in 1981. Eric Ambler passed away on October 22, 1998, leaving behind a legacy as one of the foremost masters of spy and thriller fiction, with his captivating narratives continuing to captivate readers worldwide.

During its significant run, the radio series "Escape," much more than its big brother series "Suspense," often put an emphasis on great English adventure literature. Sometimes it drifted into the area of pulp, but Escape more often adapted stories that were considered classics of the genre by celebrated authors. Such is the case with "Journey Into Fear" which is a fast-moving twisty thriller novel by Eric Ambler from 1940. Keith Scott joins us once again to discuss this story.

İsrail'in Gazze'de yürüttüğü soykırıma dair bilgiler ABD başta olmak üzere Batı dünyasının ana akım medya organlarında sadece çarpıtılarak yer buluyor. Batı medyalarının içine düştüğü bu rezilliğin tarihi epeyce gerilere gidiyor. Filistin asıllı Amerikalı bilim adamlarından Prof. Edward Said 1981'de yayınladığı, dilimize de “Haberlerin Ağında İslam” veya “Medyada İslam/ Gazeteciler ve Uzmanlar Dünyaya Bakışımızı Nasıl Belirliyor?” başlıklarıyla çevrilen kitabında bu rezilliği derinlemesine bir şekilde inceleyerek dünya kamuoyuna arz etmiş idi. Batı medyalarının öteden beri “Filistin meselesi”nde İsrail'in yalanlarını yansıtmakta çok daha ileri gittikleriyse, aşikâr. 7 Ekim'den bu yana Batı ana akım medyaları İsrail'in uzantısı gibi hareket ettiler. Böylece İsrail'in Gazze'de işlediği savaş suçlarına, soykırım suçlarına da iştirak etmiş oldular. Olayları gerçeklere uygun şekilde yansıtmaya çalışan gazetecilereyse “suçlu” muamelesi yaptılar, haberlere de, haber diline de iğrenç sansürler uyguladılar. En son, İngiltere merkezli yarı-resmi haber yayımcısı “BBC”de çalışan bir grup gazeteci “El Cezire” kanalına gönderdikleri mektupta kurumun “katliam” ve “vahşet “gibi terimleri sadece “Hamas” için kullandığını, “Hamas”ın bölgede şiddetin tek kışkırtıcı ve faili olarak gösterildiğinden şikâyet ediyorlardı. Geçtiğimiz Ekim ayı ortalarında, “BBC”nin Kuzey Afrika haberlerine imza atan kıdemli muhabirlerinden Bassam Bounenni kurumun İsrail'in dümen suyunda haber yapmasına tahammül edemeyerek istifa etmişti. 18 Ekim'de “X” hesabından yayınladığı mesajında “meslekî vicdanımın gereği olarak BBC'den istifamı sundum” demişti. BBC'nin iki yüzlü yaklaşımı Avustralya ve Yeni Zelanda dahil olmak üzere İngilizce konuşan “Anglosfer” dünyasının diğer ülkeleri için de geçerli tabii. “Yeni Zelanda Radyosu(RNZ)” izleyicilerin değerli zamanlarını çalacağı gerekçesiyle Filistinli bir konuğun sözlerini yayınlamama kararı aldığını duyurmuştu. “BBC” gibi uluslararası haber ajanslarıyla çalışan “Anglosfer”in diğer medya kuruluşları, soykırıma “soykırım” dememek için direniyorlar. Bu kuruluşlar İsrail'in yalanlarını gerçek haber gibi yansıtmak içinse adeta yarış halindeler. İsrail'in bariz yalanlarından birisi Gazze'deki hastanelerin Hamas'ın karargâhları olduğu şeklindeydi. Biden Yönetimi de, Batı dünyasının yönetimleri de, medyaları da ciddi hiç bir kaynağa dayanmaksızın, İsrail'in hastaneleri yok etmeye yönelik yalanını da desteklediler. Meşhur polisiye yazarlarından Eric Ambler'in “Dimitrios'un Maskesi” romanında gazeteci Marukakis, hikayenin baş kahramanı Charles latimer'e yazdığı bir mektupta, “Yalanları destekleyecek olaylar yoksa, olaylar yaratılır” diye bir cümle kullanmıştı. İsrail de başta “El Şifa” olmak üzere Gazze'deki hastanelere ilişkin kurgulanmış görüntülere başvuruyordu.

Today we speak with William Maz, acclaimed author of "The Bucharest Legacy: The Rise of the Oligarchs," an intriguing tale set amidst the socio-political turmoil of 1990s Romania. Born in Romania to Greek parents, Maz brings a unique perspective to his writing, artfully blending personal experiences with a deft understanding of history and culture. In this episode, we navigate his journey from being a trained physician to becoming a respected author, the inspirations behind his characters, and how his diverse background contributes to the authenticity of his novels. From discussing Maz's fascinating protagonist, CIA analyst Bill Hefflin, to the riveting themes of power, corruption, and transition in post-communist Romania, we unpack the realism and depth that makes "The Bucharest Legacy" stand out. We also discuss Maz's admiration for authors John le Carré, Eric Ambler, and Olen Steinhauer, and how their works have shaped his own. Join us as we explore the depth of Romanian culture, history, and food, shedding light on the backdrop against which "The Bucharest Legacy" unfolds. Don't miss out on this unique blend of literary analysis and historical context. Whether you're a bookworm or a history enthusiast, this episode is one to bookmark! _ Produced by Podcast Studio X.

**Who You will Hear**Guest: Scott Hoffman (CEO of International Literary Properties)Co-host: Luna Tang (Cloud Service Delivery Manager at Klopotek)Co-host: Dwayne Parris (Senior Consultant at Klopotek) Purchasing rights of music works as a means of investment – as Michael Jackson did to the majority of the Beatles' catalog, is not a novel concept in the music publishing industry, yet in the book publishing world where people are reluctant to part with their copyrights, this concept still remains fresh and rarely-touched. Scott Hoffman and his team at ILP (International Literary Properties) not only think about it, but they also act on it. He tells us in the conversation how ILP was founded, how it works in partnership with various parties (publishers, authors, and literary agents), and how it has established its position in the value-added chain. With extensive real cases, he explains to us the ways that ILP makes long-term investments in literary estates (especially on backlists) and how they maximize the value of these time-honored works, as well as how these practices make ILP a meaningful complement to the value-added chain in rights management.For more information about ILP, the authors, and the great works it represents, please visit internationalliteraryproperties.com. Tell us what is going on with your publishing projects or business on Twitter (@Klopotek_AG), LinkedIn, or email us at podcast@klopotek.com.  For more information about the Klopotek software solution, please write to info@klopotek.com, or register to receive emails from us on technology innovations & events from Klopotek.* The views, information, or opinions expressed in the program are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of Klopotek and its employees.

We trade stories about BJF, but first we talk about how Kipp has been coping with pandemic life, and how, with his bar/bat mitzvah photography business on hiatus, Kipp has returned to a novel he began a few yeas ago about his time as a newspaper reporter in FL in the '80s. He also gets into how teaching tennis manages to keep him occupied while letting him keep appropriate social distance, the advantages of having a live-in chef (his son moved back in and loves to cook), the joy of bingeing on Eric Ambler novels and the Criterion Channel streaming service, and more.

We're Star Wars Exploring new territory this week, as we sit down and do a table read of the original leaked script for Episode IX, written by Derek Connoly and Colin Trevorrow! Hear what could have been the continuing adventures of the Star Warriors, Rey, Finn, Poe and Rose in their battle for the soul of the galaxy against Kylo Ren, Hux and the mysterious Tor Valum!

The Explorers just finished their table read of the unproduced Episode IX script by Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly and they HAVE THOUGHTS! Joined by the rest of the crew who helped make this momentous event happen, Sam, Brian and the gang give their hot take reactions to what worked for them in this script, what didn't, which of our performances they enjoyed the most, and dig in to how this script compares to the one that was delivered in The Rise of Skywalker! 

As the Star Warriors begin to appear one by one in the vile gangster Jabba the Hutt's palace on Tatooine, Sam and Brian kick off their coverage of the four-part adaptation of Return of the Jedi by welcoming first-time guest Gensho Tasaka to the podcast along with our old Star Friend Eric Ambler to discuss the beauty of practical effects, the merits of Jedi Rocks, the thrills of seeing our heroes reunited and the special magical charm that lies within Episode VI of the Star Wars Saga!

Here at Reopening the Wormhole, we prefer our podcasts shaken, not stirred. But we sure enjoy going STIR CRAZY as we discuss Julian’s big foray into being a super spy in the Holosuite to protect the lives of his pals who are trapped in the pattern buffer. The episode is chock-full of fun, with bad-Russian-accent Kira, eyepatch O’Brien, a surprise Eddington, and, best of all, Avery Brooks as absolutely one of the best James Bond villains ever. Eric Ambler (of What Were We Watching) and Sean Davis (of After the Credits) join us for this super-sized discussion and bring their unique perspectives as a DS9 non-fan and a Bashir superfan, respectively, to this episode, and the conversation veers off into all sorts of crazy directions! Stick around for the whole 3+ hours to hear Sean & Sam talk about their experience at the DS9 panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, LOTS of Bond talk, some other fun surprises, and… an entire conversation about guns?! There’s a world of fun to be had, including a Bashir-based Bond-style intro song. You won’t say “no” to Dr. Noah! This is our fifth-to-last episode! We’re calling on listeners to send us in your ideas and wishlists for us to cover as we revisit and rehash our wormhole-reopening experience, so start emailing us at reopeningthewormhole@gmail.com and help us keep this wormhole open just a little longer!

La primera mitad del siglo XX es un gran guiñol bélico surtido de espías e intereses ocultos. Lo peor de la raza humana estaba supurando por una herida llamada Europa y algunos tenían la misión de evitarlo y luego contarlo. De ahí que nos detengamos en esa joya del género negro titulada "La máscara de Dimitrios", del británico Eric Ambler, y su posterior adaptación cinematográfica. Y, ya de paso, comentamos también otras obras coetáneas con el mismo e intenso sabor de entreguerras. Un programa para tratar de comprender mejor un escenario de película. Y para disfrutar también. Intervienen: Pablo González, Alfonso De Lucas. https://www.facebook.com/tipososcuros/ @CineHeroico

Batter up! It’s the epic showdown of the Logicians vs the Niners, and who better go step up to the plate than baseball fan and awesome dude Eric Ambler, of What Were We Watching fame! We’ll be unraveling the sheer joy of this frivolity in the middle of the Dominion War, discussing the skill level of all these aliens at this ancient Earth sport most of them haven’t heard of, lamenting yet another in the series of needlessly rude Vulcans, and delighting in Sisko’s borderline obsession. Keep an ear out for a diversion to discuss Avengers: Endgame (obviously). It’s the bottom of the Deep Space Ninth, and starbases are loaded! Don’t strike out! Listen now!

The Winter of Star Trek & Our Discontent is nearing completion! Today we bring you the final in our series of Star Trek movie episodes. And what better place to end than with the original Star Trek film, enigmatically titled Star Trek: The Motion Picture. It is a truly bizarre and utterly fascinating piece of American cinema history, coming right on the heels of Star Wars, and on the cancellation of Star Trek: Phase II. Eric Ambler, of the What Were We Watching podcast, joins in to dish on this strange piece of pop art, which is as painfully slow as it is gorgeous, as misguided as it is brilliant, and worth revisiting if you haven’t recently. So cuddle up with your favorite Carbon Unit and drink in these four nerds as they travel deep within the V-Ger complex, excitedly jabbering on about one of the most sleep-inducing films of all time.

As Luke Skywalker struggles to deal with his apparent murder of a fellow Rebel pilot, Eric Ambler rejoins OUR rebellion to dive into the wonders of Star Wars novelizations, to examine the struggles and insecurities of a beloved Star Warrior and to help us determine who the biggest Star Hunk is.

Hark! It’s an 87th Precinct Podcast! Welcome back to 1965 and to the savage and strange world of “Doll” – the 20th novel in the series. We have a look at the context in which it was released by exploring the Christmas charts and television of that year, with an exclusive Dave Clark Five rendition thrown in as well. Paul shares some intriguing research linking McBain with the espionage writer Eric Ambler and we share another mutual passion as we talk about Joseph Wambaugh. Oh – we go on about motorways a bit as well. Sorry. Join us in the next episode for “Eighty Million Eyes”. Please rate, review and share the show wherever you can. It is true that every little contribution helps, however you make it. Fare Thee Well!

As the Star Warriors race across the galaxy in search of a way to save a catatonic Luke Skywalker, Sam and Brian celebrate the 50th issue of the comic by welcoming back Eric Ambler (of What Were We Watching?) and Sean Davis (of After the Credits) to weigh in on the newly announced Diego Luna-starring television series, to examine the ways in which this issue pays respect to the stories of the past, while also potentially pointing in the direction they may take in the future and to say their farewells to the presenter of these comics, Stan Lee.

As the Star Warriors find themselves captured and imprisoned in Darth Vader's clutches, Brian and Sam find themselves captivated by What Were We Watchings?'s very own Cam Siemer and Eric Ambler in a rousing super-sized discussion about such classic Empire Strikes Back subjects as Cloud City, Lando's introduction and force ghosts, as well as a dive into the special features and deleted scenes from Solo: A Star Wars Story and a restrospective look back at all of our favorite Star Wars video games throughout the years.

His latest novel The Other Woman begins when a carefully planned operation involving a Russian courier goes fatally awry on the streets of Vienna.  In the aftermath of disaster, Allon begins to unravel a plot that intersects with the real-world case of an infamous spy, and spans generations.  Daniel Silva joined us in the podcast studio to talk about his long obsession with the story behind The Other Woman.

It is futile to resist Star Trek: First Contact, one of the most crowd-pleasing adventures of the U.S.S. Enterprise. Though we may still be 45 years away from our fictional date of first contact, the time is ripe to examine the movie's impact on the Star Trek franchise, and its continuing ripple effect on the legacy of the TNG crew. It turns out we're not alone in this podcast universe, as we assimilate the hosts of Reopening the Wormhole--Sam Stovold, Jack Stovold, and Kevin Young--to synthesize a new life form capable of unparalleled Trekspertise and whimsical sci-fi mashups.  Sweet Jesus, it's a massive crossover event!

Joseph Kanon, author of the spy thriller, “Defectors,” is interviewed by Richard Wolinsky. Over the course of the last 22 years, Joseph Kanon has established himself as one of the best spy novelists around, in the vein of John Le Carre, Alan Furst, Graham Greene and Eric Ambler. His latest novel, “Defectors,” is about what happens after a Soviet mole defects to Russia. What is their life like? What happens then? Set in the early 1960s, “Defectors,” through copious research, sets up what life must have been like for people like Kim Philby and other Russian spies forced to leave the West to survive. The post Joseph Kanon: Defectors appeared first on KPFA.

Happy Life Day! Join us for a special yuletide extravaganza as we discuss the most baffling piece of seasonal entertainment ever produced, the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special! Not only that, but we’re also joined by Star Wars superfans and co-hosts of the nostalgia-based podcast, What Were We Watching?, Eric Ambler and Cam Siemer! They do their best to help us navigate this seemingly endless wasteland of unsubtitled Wookiee dialogue, bizarre musical interludes, misguided comedic skits and a cartoon that’s kind of not that bad. Plus, we reopen the mailbag to hear a special fan-submitted Deep Space Nine Christmas song, we tackle some of WWWW’s trademark features (and in doing so, come up with a few ideas of our own for fantastic new Star Wars Holiday Specials), marvel at the wonder that is Beatrice Arthur and debate over which actor is putting the most and least effort into selling their scenes in this ridiculous, interminable nightmare of a movie. So pour yourself another eggnog, throw a log on the fire and gather around the tree with your loved ones as you listen to the greatest piece of audio entertainment ever created. Life Day truly is the most wonderful time of the year!

John Gray recalls the life and work of the thriller writer Eric Ambler and finds uncomfortable echoes of today's society in the pages of his novels. "What they reveal is a world ruled by financial and geopolitical forces that care nothing for the human individual. Most unsettlingly, this world is unmistakably European." Producer: Sheila Cook.

Eric Ambler is mostly known as a writer of spy related novels. Mask of Dimitrios (published in the U.S. as A Coffin for Dimitrios) is about a writer of detective stories who bargains for more than he can handle as he researches the mysterious Dimitrios. He is pulled farther and farther into a web of deceit. The book was made into a film and the film into a radio play as presented on the Screen Guild Theatre in 1945. A look at the story and Ambler.

Advertising begins only after you win the attention of your target, a difficult thing to do in this overcommunicated world. May I suggest you do it like the Great Ones? When you're ready to tell your story, choose an angle of approach. Then frame the scene. Decide what to include, what to leave out: Specifically, leave out: 1.   anything the listener already knows or can easily figure out for themselves. 2.   the name of the business anywhere it would not appear in normal conversation. 3.   unsubstantiated claims. 4.   clichés. 5.   complicated ideas. 6.   comparisons. 7.   self-congratulatory pronouncements, such as “We're the number one…” 8.   statements that reflect your awareness of a competitor. 9.   any promise you might fall short of delivering. 10. adjectives that are not essential to the clarity of the message. The strongest ads use simple nouns and verbs with a minimum of modifiers. Choosing an angle is a bit trickier. You must find a perspective to introduce a new reality. Don't just add incremental knowledge to what's already known. Introduce a thought that will stand taller than any other figure on the horizon of the mind. It's like setting the stage for a Broadway production, and it can always be done in a single sentence. Here's a glimpse of how it's done by the Great Ones: “It came down to this: if I had not been arrested by the Turkish police, I would have been arrested by the Greek police.” – Eric Ambler, the opening line of The Light of Day “My first act on entering this world was to kill my mother.” – William Boyd, the opening line of The New Confession “The schoolmaster was leaving the village, and everybody seemed sorry.” – Thomas Hardy, the opening line of Jude the Obscure “There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it.” – C. S. Lewis, opening line from The Voyage of the Dawn Treader “He was one hundred and seventy days dying and not yet dead.” – Alfred Bester, the opening line of The Stars My Destination “You are standing in the snow, five and one-half miles above sea level, gazing at a horizon hundreds of miles away.” – Roy H. Williams, the opening line of a radio ad written for Rolex “I can't believe I ate the whole thing.” – Unknown, the opening line of a TV ad written for Alka-Seltzer Did you notice how I slipped myself into that list of the Great Ones? I wouldn't usually have done it but this is Monday and on Mondays I'm ebullient. It's only on Tuesdays that I'm modest. Most people like me better on Tuesdays. Here are some typical opening lines from average ads. Compare them to the lines that come from unusual angles and better frame the the new perspective: Typical: McMorris Ford is having a Clearance Event! Unusual: We want to get rid of this new truck even more than you want to own it. Typical: Harvey Chevrolet is Going Out for Business! Unusual: Here at Harvey Chevrolet we're tired of being average, so here's what we've decided to do. Typical: Save up to 70 percent at Neederman Optical! Unusual: New eyeglasses cost like stink. You know it. We know it, too. Typical: Leroy's Lawn Service has served the people of this city since 1972. Unusual: Life is too short and wonderful to spend it cutting your own grass. Typical: Juanita's Mexican Café at the corner of Fifth and Madison serves authentic Mexican Food from 8AM till 8PM daily. Unusual: So you think you've had Mexican food, heh, Gringo? Choose an unusual angle of view and leave out the obvious. These are the keys to opening the mind's eye. Do it when writing ads. Do it when making presentations. Now that I've explained how it's done in words. Would you like me...
