The novel marked a turning point in Buchan's literary career and introduced his adventuring hero, Richard Hannay. He described a \"shocker\" as an adventure where the events in the story are unlikely and the reader is only just able to believe that they really happened.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.26 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 08, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42106225852551,"sku":"9781981543861","price":9.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/fdcc041801c26c7ffb3bdf5554ef3d67.webp?v=1732442552","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-thirty-nine-steps-original-and-unabridged-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
