Про автора
R. M. Ballantyne (1825–1894) was a Scottish author of juvenile fiction who penned over 100 books. His writing career blossomed following his experience with the Hudson’s Bay Company, through which he gleaned ample material to portray with authenticity the life and landscape of early frontier and colonial periods. Ballantyne’s literary style is characterized by vivid descriptions, thrilling adventures, and moral undertones that reflected Victorian values towards youth education and character development. Notable among his extensive oeuvre is ‘The Coral Island’ (1858), which greatly influenced the adventure genre and was appreciated for its detailed rendering of pacific island life. Other significant works include ‘The Young Fur Traders’ (1856), ‘The Dog Crusoe and His Master’ (1860), and ‘The Gorilla Hunters’ (1861), all of which demonstrate his masterful use of survival themes and exploration. Ballantyne’s commitment to accuracy led him to experiment and research thoroughly – once even building a boat to ensure realistic depiction. His books, forming the collection ‘R. M. BALLANTYNE Ultimate Collection: 90+ Action & Adventure Classics’, continue to captivate readers with their blend of swashbuckling excitement and educational merit, marking him as a seminal figure in the annals of children’s adventure literature.
