關於作者
Zane Grey, born Pearl Zane Gray on January 31, 1872, in Zanesville, Ohio, was a pivotal figure in shaping the mythology of the American West through his writing. With a career spanning over three decades, Grey became renowned for his riveting Western novels, rich in their depictions of the rugged landscapes and the spirited individuals who inhabited them. He earned a degree in dentistry from the University of Pennsylvania in 1896 but soon abandoned the profession to pursue his passion for writing and the Great Outdoors. Grey's first commercial success came with 'Riders of the Purple Sage' (1912), which is still widely regarded as one of his masterworks. His bibliography spans over 90 books, including 'The Last of the Plainsmen' and 'The Last Trail'. 'The Greatest Zane Grey Westerns' stands as a testament to his prolific output and enduring legacy, encompassing some of his most significant contributions to the genre. Known for his vivid characterizations and dynamic storytelling, Grey's novels did more than entertain; they captured the essence of the American frontier experience, its perils, and its promises. His tales, while romanticized, offered a form of escapism and influenced public perceptions of the American West. With his death on October 23, 1939, in Altadena, California, the literary world lost a foundational voice, but Zane Grey's novels continue to resonate, inspiring countless films, imitations, and the imaginations of generations of readers and writers alike.
