Giới thiệu về tác giả

Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace (1875–1932) was a prolific British writer, whose literary career spanned various genres, including crime, adventure, and suspense. His early life experiences, notably in South Africa during the Second Boer War, as a war correspondent for Reuters and the Daily Mail, significantly influenced his later works. Wallace’s keen interest in the exotic and the criminal underworld materialized in an extensive body of work comprising over 170 novels, 18 stage plays, and numerous articles and short stories. Among his notable collections stands ‘The Twelve African Novels, ‘ which reflects his fascination with the African continent and incorporates a vivid depiction of its landscapes and colonial dynamics. Wallace’s writing is marked by a rapid pace, suspenseful plots, and an emphasis on action over psychological depth, a recipe that assured his popularity during the early twentieth century. Credited with creating the ‘Bulldog Drummond’ novels as well as the iconic character ‘King Kong, ‘ Wallace’s influence extended into cinematic adaptations. Despite some criticism for perpetuating colonial stereotypes, his works remain an important part of popular British literature’s fabric, illustrating the era’s predilections and biases. Edgar Wallace’s literary style served as a precursor to modern thriller and crime genres, leaving an indelible mark on the literary world with his extensive and entertaining oeuvre.
