✦ Synopsis
“Raymond Chandler – Uma Vida” faz uma análise meticulosa da obra bem
como um retrato inédito da vida dessa escrita que, ao lado de Agatha
Christie e Arthur Conan Doyle, definiu a moderna literatura policial.
Cada um dos livros de Chandler carrega tensão que cercou sua vida – a

sexo e as mulheres e a luta contra o alcoolismo. Não para menos, seu
detetive Phipil Marlowe é um dos personagens mais complexos dos romances
policiais – herdeiro possível do temperamento de seu criador.
