Fiction Fiction The wax figures

Pío Baroja

1924

After a two-year break in October 1924 and being in Biarritz, Baroja ends the wax figures that, within the Memories of an action man, constitute a kind of trilogy with the ship of the Locos and the bloody masked. The action remains focused on Bayona, with the main figures being the Trappero Chipiteguy and the young Alvaro Sánchez de Mendoza, in love with the granddaughter of the first. The way to combine the novelesque action with the aviranean intrigues reflects great mastery and can be affirmed without fear of making mistakes, that these three novels are among the best in the series.

Richmal Crompton

Guillermo invents a water race in which competitors have to run with a mouth full of water, without swallowing it or spitting it. It's a shame you don't have time to think before you speak (and soak) to Mrs. Adolphus Crane during the race.

Fiction Fiction The cruise of the rolling scrap

F. Scott Fitzgerald

1924

Three are the characters in this book: a man, a woman and a car. This is Francis Scott Fitzgerald, a talented writer whose first novel, on this side of paradise, has just become a bestseller. She is Zelda, her young wife, a charming and unpredictable flapper, with short melon and golf pants. And the car - the real protagonist of the story - is an old sports coupe of the Expenso brand, a second-hand Marmon 1917 to which its owners, for reasons that the reader will become obvious, call the Rolling Slayer.

Crime Crime Poirot Investigates

Agatha Christie

1924

Hastings, the faithful friend of Hercules Poirot, reports a series of cases happily resolved by the famous Belgian detective who, convinced of the infallibility of his deductive method, is able to take advantage of any trivial incident, without apparent connection to the case under investigation, to always discover the truth. The secret of its success lies, as Poirot himself proudly confesses, in the quality of the grey cells of his privileged brain.
