    Extractions: John Buchan, 1875-1940 John Buchan was born in Scotland in 1875. He went to two universities, first Glasgow and then Oxford, where he gained the Newdigate Prize for poetry. He published nearly 30 novels and seven collections of short stories.His life after that was a busy one as a private secretary in South Africa, an officer in the First World War and a Member of Parliament in 1927. During World War I Buchan was a war correspondent before joining the army and, while ill in bed in 1914 during the first months of the war, he wrote The Thirty-Nine Steps . Alfred Hitchcock's film version of the story, made in 1935, is ranked as one of the director's best works. Click on the cart to download your book / Haz clic en el carrito para tu descargar libro. In this novel spy-catcher Richard Hannay has all the qualities of a hero, who can defend the English way of life against foreign thread. He is a 37-year-old wealthy Scot, who meets an American journalist, named Scudder, who tells of an international assassination plan. Scudder is murdered, and Hannay realizes that he is the prime suspect. He flees to Scotland, and hides there from the police and the foreign conspirators and other anarchists. Hannay guesses that Scudders's cryptic note ("Thirty-nine steps - I counted them - High tide 10:17 p.m.") refers to the location of the anarchists' beach house. The conspirators are arrested. It is an exciting adventure with narrow escapes and the last-minute solution of a deep mystery.

    Extractions: Updated - Sunday, 2 September, 2001 John Buchan (1875-1940), statesman, publisher, journalist, biographer, poet and novelist, was born on 26 August 1875 in Perth, Scotland. Educated at Hutcheson's Grammar School and Glasgow University, Buchan had already begun his extensive publishing career by the time he won a scholarship to Brasenose College, Oxford, where he won the Newdigate Prize for poetry in 1898. During his time at Oxford Buchan, a workaholic, published five books and numerous articles, partly to raise funds in order to continue his studies. Despite his training as a lawyer (a profession he would later assign to the fictional character he created most in his own mould, Sir Edward Leithen), Buchan travelled to South Africa in 1901 to become Lord Milner’s private secretary (the High Commissioner) in the immediate aftermath of the Boer War. Sir Quixote of the Moors , was published in 1895. Whilst recovering from illness in the early part of 1914 Buchan wrote his most famous work, The Thirty-Nine Steps , which was serialised in Blackwood’s Magazine from July of that year. With its plot of German espionage it was highly topical and was an instant hit; never out of print it remains popular today, and has twice been produced for the cinema, including the 1935 Hitchcock version (whose plot revisions Buchan considered an improvement on his book).

ALL John Buchan (1875-1940) was a son of the Free Church Manse who became Governor-General of Canada and, of lesser importance in his eyes, the author of classic adventure stories. Brought up to Calvinism, he adopted at Oxford the study of rationalist philosophy, and then the social assumptions of the English Establishment, but remained at heart a writer, and one with a strong sense of something hidden and unattained. THE FAR ISLANDS Buchan's early story, `The Far Islands', from which this extract is taken, concerns a man troubled from childhood by visions of an island beyond the sea, which he is always trying to reach. The vision is lost, but returns at unexpected moments, like the door in the wall in H.G. Wells' story of that name. Some of Buchan's shorter tales balance the extrovert adventure thrillers and bring to mind his final book, Sick Heart River.

He was a classicist at Oxford, read for the Bar but did not practice as a barrister, was a government administrator in South Africa after the end of the Boer War, was editor of The Spectator and war correspondent for The Times , was Member of Parliament for the Scottish Universities, a Director of Reuters, a director of Thomas Nelson's, the publishing house, and was His Majesty's High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, twice. He married into the minor aristocracy, had four children and was made a Baron (lowest rung of the British hereditary peerage) on receiving the appointment of Governor-General of Canada in 1935. He was very popular in his Canadian service, travelling all over the country to meet the people and see the land, Arctic to US border, east to west, and made important political links with President Roosevelt of the United States. He died of a brain haemorrhage while shaving, shortly after signing Canada's entry into the Second World War. And he wrote. By golly did he write. The list of his published books is well over a hundred in number, and only about 40 of these are fiction. John Buchan is most famous for

    Extractions: John Buchan, 1st Baron Tweedsmuir (1875-1940) John Buchan was born in Perth, Scotland, and was educated at Oxford. He became a well-known writer of fiction (including books such as The Thirty-Nine Steps ), poetry and history (including books such as A History of the Great War and Lord Minto Buchan dedicated his book Augustus : "To my friend William Lyon Mackenzie King, Four Times Prime Minister of Canada." Buchan was appointed Governor General of Canada in February 1935 and took office in November of that year. At this time, he was given the title 1st Baron Tweedsmuir. King's diary gives a description of the arrival of the Tweedsmuirs and the installation of Lord Tweedsmuir as Governor General. (Diary, November 2, 1935) Tweedsmuir travelled widely in Canada and he instituted the Governor General's Literary Awards. He died on February 11, 1940, the first Canadian Governor General since Confederation to die in office. A year after Tweedsmuir's death, King continued to think of him as being, with Norman Rogers and O.D. Skelton, one of "the three men who spiritually were closer to me than any other." (Diary, January 28, 1941) In 1955, the John Buchan Papers were purchased from the Tweedsmuir family by Queen's University, through the Office of the Rector, L.W. Brockington. A microfilm copy is available at the National Archives (MG27-IIIA5).

    Extractions: Buchan was born on 26th August 1875 in Perth, son of a Free Church of Scotland minister, later domiciled in Glasgow and Peebles. Like his sister Anna (1877-1948) the popular novelist "0. Douglas", he was educated at Hutcheson's Grammar School, Glasgow. At Glasgow University Buchan produced an anthology of Bacon 's essays, and a novel deriving from Conan Doyle 's recent Brigadier Gerard stories, blended with the Borders and their Covenant legends he knew so well, Sir Quixote of the moors . Thence he went to Oxford which made him take another first degree as though Glasgow could not award one. Buchan's acquiescence in this dishonour to his country of origin, and the first laurels it had given him, symbolised the dilemma of his literary life. The English establishment received his deference and gave him rewards, but Scotland provided both his richest sources and his bedrock of reassurance. His devotion to Scott and Stevenson would repay itself with historical novels such as John Burnet of Barns (1898), and
