Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condición: Bien. 1ª Edición. El libro procede de expurgo de una biblioteca (tiene sellos, etc.); por lo demás, está en buenas condiciones. Traducción de Juan Antonio Molina Foix. Son los duros años de la Depresión y Ben Harper, un padre de familia que un día se hartó de tanta miseria y asaltó un banco, espera en la cárcel a que lo ejecuten. Habría obtenido una pena menor si hubiera dicho dónde escondió el dinero, pero se ha negado obstinadamente a confesarlo. Comparte celda con Harry Powell, conocido como el Predicador, un enigmático personaje que lleva tatuadas las palabras «amor» en los dedos de una mano y «odio» en la otra, y está detenido por un delito menor. Ben está casado con Willa y tiene dos hijos, John y Pearl. Los niños estaban con él cuando le detuvieron y saben dónde está el dinero del robo, pero han jurado no decirlo a nadie. Ben morirá en la horca y el Predicador, una vez cumplida su condena, llegará un día al pueblo donde malviven Willa y los pequeños John y Pearl. En 1955, Charles Laughton, un actor británico de inmenso talento, realizó la que sería su única película como director, La noche del cazador. Ominosa y hermosísima, la película es el resultado del afortunado encuentro de un grupo de talentos que coincidieron en una obra de arte mítica que ha fascinado desde entonces a generaciones de aficionados al cine. Robert Mitchum, en el cenit de sus dotes interpretativas, encarnaba al Predicador, y las magníficas Shelley Winter y Lilian Gish le daban la réplica. Pero en el origen de aquella película de culto estaba la espléndida novela de David Grubb, publicada en 1953. Notable combinación de realismo casi expresionista y fábula gótica, debe su encanto aterrador tanto a su atmósfera enrarecida y onírica como a su perverso suspense, propio de la mejor novela negra americana de la época. Davis Grubb (1919-1970) nació en el estado de Virginia Occidental, junto al río Ohio, donde su fa­milia estuvo aposentada durante doscientos años, por lo que en su infancia se impregnó de las le­gendarias peripecias de sus pintorescos moradores, que estimularon su imaginación literaria. Es­cribió ocho novelas y más de cincuenta relatos, con numerosas adaptaciones radiofónicas, televi­sivas y fílmicas. En su novela más famosa, La noche del cazador, abundan las referencias a su entorno autobiográfico; así, su abuelo había sido capitán de un barco que navegaba en el río Ohio y tiene por protagonista un niño de diez años, la edad del propio autor cuando la Depresión. Se publicó en 1953, se convirtió instantáneamente en un best-seller y se compraron los derechos cine­matográficos para la legendaria película, dirigida por Charles Laughton, en cuyo guión, firmado por el gran escritor James Agee, intervino activamen­te Davis Grubb así como el propio Laughton.
