عن المؤلف
Morley Roberts (1857-1942) was a prolific English novelist, short story writer, and a notable figure in literature during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Known for his ventures into various genres, including adventure fiction, social realism, and semi-autobiographical works, Roberts’ extensive travels and experiences often served as the backbone for his narratives. His literary style frequently drew from his personal journey as a laborer and a wanderer in diverse regions from Australia to America, infusing his tales with authenticity and vivid descriptions. A significant contribution to his literary portfolio is ‘A Tramp’s Notebook’ (1904), a collection that encapsulates the essence of the vagabond lifestyle, illustrating the hardships and the unconventional wisdom attained through a life on the move. It is representative of Roberts’ keen eye for detail and his empathetic treatment of the characters on society’s fringes. ‘A Tramp’s Notebook’ stands as a testament to the notion that rich stories often lie in the wandering paths of the unanchored individual. Throughout his career, Roberts published over 70 books, encompassing an array of topics and displaying his versatility as a writer. He is remembered for his insightful contributions to the literature of his time, and his works continue to be a point of reference for scholars studying the socio-cultural dynamics of the early 20th century.
