Max Carrados

di Ernest Bramah (Autore)

Head Stories Audio, 2026

When Max Carrados first appeared in the pages of Ernest Bramah in 1913, readers were invited to reconsider one of the most enduring assumptions in detective fiction: that seeing is knowing. Carrados is blind. Yet he is never portrayed as diminished. Instead, his lack of sight sharpens the faculties upon which most of us scarcely rely. A faint irregularity in a footstep, the texture of paper beneath the fingers, the almost imperceptible hesitation in a voice—these become, in his hands, instruments of revelation. Where others look, Carrados listens. In the early twentieth century, when fictional detectives were multiplying across popular magazines and drawing rooms alike, Carrados stood apart. He is neither the flamboyant eccentric nor the brooding man of action, but something subtler: a cultivated intelligence at ease in both society and solitude. His investigations unfold not in thunderclaps but in quiet deductions, guided by patience, courtesy, and a dry, understated wit. Head Stories Audio presents the first volume of Max Carrados stories by Ernest Bramah. Read by Simon Hester and with original music.
