Sobre el autor
Harold Bindloss (1866-1945) was a prolific English novelist and writer, whose narrative craft was often interwoven with the rugged landscapes of the British colonies and the vibrant frontier life. The essence of his literary style lies in the vivid depiction of outdoor adventure and pioneering spirit, which resonated well with the readers of the early 20th century. Bindloss left England for Canada in the 1890s, which greatly influenced his writing, as seen in his works like ‘Thurston of Orchard Valley’ — a tale that captures the essence of rural community and individual determination. His books frequently explored themes of integrity, perseverance, and the human struggle against natural elements, often featuring stoic heroes facing moral dilemmas. Bindloss wrote over thirty novels, each rich with the authenticity of an author who not only wrote about the frontier but lived it. His works, now somewhat faded from popular memory, offered an important contribution to the genre of adventure and pastoral novels of his time, vital for understanding the spirit of the age in which they were written.
