Informazioni sull'autore
Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was a prolific British writer, whose fluid narrative style and imaginative zest in the realm of crime fiction, thriller, and adventure novels earned him immense popularity in the early 20th century. Born into poverty as the illegitimate son of actors in Greenwich, London, Wallace's rise to literary prominence is a testament to his indefatigable spirit. He commenced his career as a war correspondent, which sharpened his aptitude for pacing and suspense that would permeate his later works. Wallace is perhaps best known for his creation of the character 'Sanders of the River,' and 'Bones,' featured in 'Bones, Being Further Adventures in Mr. Commissioner Sanders' Country' (1915), which is amongst the central corpus in the 'Sanders' series. These books are characterized by their vibrant depiction of African colonial settings and brisk, dialogue-driven narratives, although they reflect the colonial attitudes of his time. Wallace also made a significant contribution to the screenplay for King Kong (1933) and has penned over 175 novels, 24 plays, and numerous articles. His penchant for weaving compelling tales of mystery and action contributed to his status as one of the most widely read writers in the 1920s and 1930s. Despite fluctuating critical reception posthumously, Wallace's legacy endures, retaining a dedicated following and influencing generations of crime and thriller authors.
