เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง
Max Brand, the pseudonymous mainstay of classic Western literature, was the favored pen name of Frederick Schiller Faust, born on May 29, 1892, in Seattle, Washington. Faust burgeoned into a prolific writer, shaping the contours of the Western genre with his stirring narratives and archetypical characters. His literary career is marked by over 500 works, with more than 60 novels written under the pseudonym Max Brand, etching his name into the annals of Western fiction. Brand’s writing is characterized by a seamless interplay of adventure and psychological depth, crafting tales that deal with the quintessence of human courage, redemption, and the unconquerable spirit. Notable works include ‘Destry Rides Again, ‘ ‘The Night Horseman, ‘ and ‘The Untamed, ‘ which exemplify his contributions to the enduring mythos of the American West. Though he also wrote under various other pseudonyms and ventured into different genres, it was the Max Brand persona that earned him a revered spot in the pantheon of Western writers. Faust’s life, much like his novels, was cut short by a tragic end during World War II, when he perished in Italy in 1944 while working as a war correspondent. Yet, his Max Brand legacy continues to captivate readers with the timeless appeal of the old West’s rugged landscapes and the complex men who roamed them.
