À propos de l'auteur
James Matthew Barrie, born on May 9, 1860, in Kirriemuir, Scotland, was a prolific Scottish author and playwright, best remembered today for his creation of Peter Pan. Barrie's literary career spanned numerous novels and plays, which often explored themes of fantasy, childhood, and the loss of innocence. His enchanting writing style blended whimsy with an undercurrent of darkness, reflecting both the innocence of youth and the complexities of adulthood. Barrie's breadth of work is encapsulated in 'The Collected Works', a compendium that showcases the diverse range of his storytelling prowess. The most significant among his creations, the character Peter Pan, first appeared in 'The Little White Bird' (1902) and was later immortalized in 'Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up' (1904), which subsequently led to the novel 'Peter and Wendy' (1911). Beyond the Neverland saga, Barrie's novels, such as 'The Little Minister' (1891) and 'Sentimental Tommy' (1896), reveal his adeptness in exploring social issues and human psychology, securing his position in the pantheon of Victorian and Edwardian literature. Renowned for his ability to interweave reality with fantasy, Barrie was awarded a baronetcy, and he became Sir James Matthew Barrie in 1913. He passed away on June 19, 1937, but his legacy continues to spark the imaginations of readers and audiences around the world.
