เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง
Zane Grey (January 31, 1872 – October 23, 1939) was an American author best known for his popular adventure novels and stories that presented an idealized image of the American frontier. Born Pearl Zane Gray in Zanesville, Ohio, he later altered the spelling of his first name to ‘Zane’ for his pen name. Grey’s love for adventure and the great outdoors, particularly fishing and hunting, is evident in the vivid descriptions and dramatic narratives that define his work. He attended the University of Pennsylvania on a baseball scholarship, studying dentistry, but his passion always lay with writing and the Wild West. Grey’s first commercial success came with ‘Riders of the Purple Sage’ (1912), often considered one of the greatest western novels. Over time, Grey became one of the first millionaire authors, with his books popularizing the genre and setting the standard for subsequent western writers. ‘The Day of the Beast (Unabridged)’ is among the works that showcase his narrative prowess. Grey’s literary style combines action-packed plotlines with panoramic descriptions of landscapes, weaving elements of romance, conflict, and morality. While some scholars criticize his romantic notions and embellishments of frontier life, Grey’s influence on the genre and American cultural perspectives of the West cannot be overstated. His novels have been translated into multiple languages, adapted into over 100 films, and continue to be enjoyed by readers worldwide.
