Calladine fell for her . . . hard. They’d met that night dancing at the Semiramis Hotel and he had fallen under her spell almost immediately. All too soon the evening ended and Calladine thought he’d seen the last of her. But a few hours later she’s on his doorstep. Her name is Joan Carew and she needs his help. Joan quickly admits to him that she had just come form trying to steal an expensive pearl necklace. She’d made her way into the suit of her intended mark at the Semiramis Hotel, but there was someone already there. Thieves who grab her. The last thing she remembers is struggling with them as they try to bind her. A few hours later she came to alone in the room except for the dead body of the woman who had owned the pearls. Calladine agrees to help her immediately. This lovely woman can’t be a murderer . . . can she? Enter Inspector Hanaud, one of France’s finest detective. If anyone can get to the bottom of this case he can.

Postcolonial Screen Adaptation and the British Novel
Author: Vivian Y. Kao
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030545806
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
This book brings film adaptation of literature to bear on the question of how nineteenth-century imperial ideologies of progress continue to inform power inequalities in a global capitalist age. Not simply the promotion of general betterment for all, improvement in the British colonial context licensed a superior “master race” to “uplift” its colonized populations—morally, socially, and economically. This book argues that, on the one hand, film adaptations of nineteenth-century novels reveal the arrogance and coercive intentions that underpin contemporary notions of development, humanitarianism, and modernity—improvement’s post-Victorian guises. On the other hand, the book also argues that the films use their nineteenth-century source texts to criticize these same legacies of imperialism. By bringing together film adaptation, postcolonial theory, and literary studies, the book demonstrates that adaptation, as both method and cultural product, provides a way to engage with the baggage of ideological heritage in our contemporary global media environment.
