厄斯金•查尔德斯、威廉•勒克、爱德华•奥本海姆等人创立了早期西方间谍小说的浪漫主义冒险模式。二十世纪三、四十年代,埃里克•安布勒 (1909—1998)和格雷厄姆•格林(1904—1991)将这一模式继续推进,创立了以现实主义为主要特征的现代间谍小说。与早期间谍小说相比,现代间谍小说没有那么多"爱国主义"的陈腐气,而且在作品的主题思想、情节结构、人物塑造等方面,也注入了更多现实主义活力。

【作者介绍】
Eric Ambler (1909-98) was one of the most fascinating Britishwriters of the late 1930s. His novels retain a remarkable sense ofthe dread and terror that filled Europe as world war broke out.Some were made into films (not least Orson Welles' superb versionof Journey into Fear), all were bestsellers, inventing a new, morerealistic form of spy novel, where the main protagonist is not somuch a hero as a victim, pursued by malevolent Fascist forces ofoverwhelming power. These are paranoid stories, but written at atime when paranoia was disturbingly close to mon sense.
