| Text | Scarface at Wikisource |
Scarface is a novel written by Armitage Trail in 1929 and published in 1930. The 1932 and 1983 films were based on it. The twenty-eight-year-old author died suddenly of a heart attack nine months after the novel was published.[1] The novel has since lapsed into the public domain in the United States, as its copyright was not renewed, and in countries such as EU states where the term of copyright is author's life plus 93 or less years.
