Eric Ambler's Novels

Bridging what is often perceived as a divide between the thriller and literary fiction, Eric Ambler's eighteen novels undertake a wide-ranging critique of modernity. Among the twentieth-century developments he examines are totalitarianism, corporatism, espionage, social Darwinism, terrorism, political autocracy, and foreign intervention.
