Titolo: [HAMMETT] Il meridiano!

L'ho appena ricevuto in regalo (dietro mia stessa soffiata!): mi sembra ben
fatto, ci sono tutti i romanzi ma il mio dubbio č: hanno scelto i racconti
migliori? se recuperassi altre raccolte come l'istinto della caccia troverei
molti doppioni? insomma vorrei sapere cosa č in catalogo dei racconti di
D.H.
Grazie mille
Steve

 l'istinto della caccia troverei molti doppioni?
E' piů facile risponderti se elenchi i titoli dei racconti contenuti nel
volume.
Ciao.

Come siano stati scelti i racconti e quali siano i migliori
non saprei dire, perchè li ho letti molto tempo fa.
Spero di aver risposto a buona parte delle domande.

 Ma non era più semplice pubblicare in 2/3 volumi tutta la narrativa breve
o, visto che è uscito un Meridiano, farne 2, uno x i racconti, l'altro x i
romanzi?
