लेखक के बारे में
John Buchan (1875–1940), a Scottish novelist, historian, and statesman, was born in Perth and educated at Glasgow University and Brasenose College, Oxford. Before embarking on his writing career, Buchan had a formidable background in law and politics; this experience added a layer of authenticity to his adventure novels and historical writings. He is best known for his suspenseful adventure series featuring the character Richard Hannay, which began with ‘The Thirty-Nine Steps’ (1915), a defining work in the genre of espionage fiction. However, Buchan’s literary oeuvre is not confined solely to Hannay. Another beloved character from his repertoire is Dickson Mc Cunn, the protagonist of the humorous adventure series that began with ‘Huntingtower’ (1922) and continued through several sequels, collected posthumously as ‘Dickson Mc Cunn – The Complete Adventure Series in One Volume’. Buchan’s narrative style often interweaves themes of adventure with a staunch appreciation of the Scottish countryside. His works have been seen as a precursor to—and an influence on—the modern thriller. Beyond his fiction, Buchan’s contributions to literature include biographies, historical texts, and poetry. In recognition of his literary achievements and his public service—including serving as the Governor General of Canada—Buchan was ennobled as Baron Tweedsmuir. His literary legacy continues to be celebrated for its impact on the adventure and spy-fiction genres.
